THE P250 PROFESSIONAL STAGE PIANO - THE LEGEND CONTINUES...
 Ever since the P200 was first released over 5 years ago, musical legends like Michael McDonald, Keith Sweat, Tim Carmon (Eric Clapton), Clifford Carter (James Taylor), and Steve Hornbeake (Faith Hill) have used it on stage and in the studio when they needed the absolute best piano sound available.

The P250 sets a new standard for sound quality and raises the bar on what to expect in a professional digital piano.

The result is a delicacy of tone and expression that emulates the experience of playing a real piano. And to give the P250 an even more richly detailed sound, note off
samples, string resonance samples and sound board samples simulate the acoustic interaction between different notes.
The P250 redefines the features for a professional stage piano including:
- Graded Hammer, 88-note, weighted-action keyboard for realistic
piano feel
- 128 Notes of polyphony
- Acoustic piano voices with three velocity DSS (Dynamic Stereo
Sampling); Note Off samples, String Resonance samples for realism
and expressiveness

palette of sounds

MOTIF RACK - 1U MOTIF TONE GENERATOR MORE MOTIF FOR THE MONEY
Perhaps the most requested Yamaha product of the past year has been a rack mount module version of the award-winning Motif synthesizer.

So the new rack is not only affordable, it uses a newly designed sound chip that allowed the engineers to include the most requested new hardware features for Motif. The Motif Rack is perfect for both Motif owners who want to expand the power of their Motif system or those who already have plenty of other keyboards and just want the Motif sounds in a convenient rack mount size.

sustain and more consistent tuning. Bass drums now feature

MUSHASHI SNARE DRUMS EVOKE WARRIOR SPIRIT
 Recently, the Yamaha Oak Custom kit surprised the drumming community with its unusual material and the unique combination of stunning appearance, innovative construction, and exceptional sonic qualities. Yamaha continues to explore the possibilities of Oak with the introduction of the Musashi snare drum line.
The NSD-1365M and the NSD-1260M are professional, small-diameter snare drums that can be used as main or effect snares. Their shells are constructed of 6-ply, 100% Oak, a material known for its brilliant grain and unsurpassed strength and durability. Named for the legendary 16th-century samurai, Miyamoto Musashi, both models evoke the spirit of a warrior's weapon with an aggressive look and a distinctive, bright, and remarkably loud sound that's ideal for live performances.
Both models come sheathed in a gloss black Oak finish. The NSD-1365M features
a 13" x 61/2" shell, while the NSD-1260M incorporates a slightly
smaller 12" x 6" shell but adds a black-stained Groove-Wedge.
The deeper shells make these drums extremely versatile, while
the hard Oak frame gives them an intensive attack worthy of a
samurai.
