YAMAHA P60 DIGITAL PIANO IS THE RIGHT START
—Feature Graded Hammer Effect, Weighted
Action—
ANAHEIM, CA—The Winter NAMM 2003 introduction of the
P60 digital piano from Yamaha Corporation of America, Digital
Musical Instruments, signals a combination of affordability,
high quality, performance and value for the beginner or long-time
player.
The 88-key P60 includes the same GH (Graded Hammer) action
found on more expensive Yamaha digital pianos. In this exclusive
action design, the weight or resistance of the key becomes gradually
heavier from the top to bottom registers, emulating the touch,
feel, and response of an acoustic grand piano. The P60 contains
32 notes of polyphony, and a selection of some of the best voices
available today, including stereo sampled pianos, electric pianos,
strings, harpsichord, vibes and pipe organ, thanks to Yamaha’s
AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation. With the Dual Voice
feature, two voices may be combined.

Connections include MIDI IN/OUT/THRU. A built-in 20W/side
speaker system and Yamaha’s acclaimed digital reverb to
add the ambience of a concert hall to your home. "The P60
is the perfect piano for the beginner or long-time player who
wants a lightweight, portable instrument," states Athan
Billias, marketing director, Technology Products. "It’s
also great for the customer who either doesn’t have the
room, or want the financial commitment, of a larger instrument.
With the Graded Hammer action, you’ll learn proper piano
technique, so making the transition to an acoustic piano will
be effortless. It’s the ‘right start.’"
The P60 is currently available in black (P60) or silver (P60S)
finishes.
"It has been assumed that such a product with Yamaha’s
high standards of quality and performance could not be produced
at or below this price point," states Avery Burdette, product
manager, Digital Musical Instruments. "The P60 changes
that assumption forever."
