YAMAHA NU1XA

THE SOUL OF THE PIANO, THE EXPERIENCE OF PURE PLAYING
Helping you achieve the level of playing performance you desire. It allows you to play whenever you want.

Responds to those musical desires by incorporating real acoustic piano mechanics along with the latest cutting-edge technology for a piano-inspired experience.

Welcome to this special musical world where you long to settle.

NATURAL STRIKE WITH ACOUSTIC PIANO MECHANICS
The NU1XA uses the piano's intricate and sophisticated mechanism to transmit the subtle movements of the keys to the hammers. It accurately responds to the player's most subtle nuances and expressive intentions, including subtle playing techniques such as trills and rapidly repeating the same notes. In addition, the keyboard is made of wood, just like an acoustic piano, and provides a solid and natural response.

REMARKABLY DETAILED EXPRESSIVENESS WITH THE YAMAHA ARTICULATION SENSOR SYSTEM
The NU1XA features our newly developed Articulation Sensor System, which accurately and continuously captures even the pianist's most subtle nuances through non-contact electromagnetic sensors and Yamaha's patented algorithm. This system uses two separate sensors on each key: one for the hammer - a crucial element of the acoustic piano's sound mechanics - and another for the key itself, to accurately detect the movement of the finger releasing from the key and accurately express the special nuances in the sound's reverberation. Together, these two sensors fully capture even the most subtle expressiveness of the player.

GRANDTOUCH PEDALS FOR AN EVEN WIDER PLAYING RANGE
The damper pedal on the piano responds with slightly different resistance to the player's foot depending on when the pedal is depressed, when it starts to act and when it is held. Experienced players feel these subtle differences in resistance when the pedal is depressed and use them to make their own subtle variations in tone and sound. In addition, when the pedal is released, the resistance of the pedal is also different than when it is depressed. The GrandTouchTM Pedals feature utilizes a fulcrum structure similar to that of an acoustic grand piano, providing the same expressiveness and familiar feel when the pedal is depressed, further expanding the range possibilities when performing and playing.

A RESONANCE THAT FILLS THE SPACE LIKE PLAYING AN ACOUSTIC PIANO
The moment the hammer strikes the strings, the sound is instantly heard by the performer, while the entire instrument resonates and fills the space and room with a beautiful sound. To faithfully reproduce this unique sound experience created by an acoustic piano, NU1XA uses a new sound system. It features upward-facing woofers that resonate deeply with the entire instrument, and tweeters with a newly designed horn structure that resonate in the high frequencies with the front and back of the instrument. Together with these synergistic resonance effects, the tonal quality and sound projection gives the player careful control over the sound in real time while playing, resulting in an amazingly realistic piano-like sound that extends three-dimensionally into the entire surrounding space.
