Pianos with electronics

Silent Pianos (Anytime pianos) are real acoustic pianos with an added electronic feature.  When engaged this feature makes the piano silent and it can be listened to through headphones.  The electronics also allow the piano to be connected to any home computer.  The benefits of this is that practicing can be done without disturbing anyone else (when necessary) and the learning of a musical instrument, well known to be beneficial to child development can be integrated with learning about computers.  We have Silent pianos in stock by Kemble, Yamaha and Kawai.

Automatic pianos are the successors to roll playing pianos.  Nowadays floppy discs, CDs and electronics take over and many automatic pianos also record as well as playback.  Also several automatic pianos also offer the Silent feature as described above and are not as expensive as you may have first thought.  We have the Yamaha Disklavier silent MP70N in attractive mahogany coloured walnut for only £3399 (£3599 normal price).

We can also fit automation systems to some models of acoustic piano - please enquire for further information.
