Detailed Description
Exactly the same length as the C1X, the Yamaha GC1 is available at a more affordable price due to savings in materials and production. Nevertheless, it is based on the former C1M grand. A little longer than the entry-level GB1, the GC1 also benefits from Japanese-built craftsmanship, more refined parts and duplex scaling (lacking in the GB1). This gives it a far richer and more colourful tone across its range, but particularly in the higher treble where the duplex scaling allows sections of the string which are normally ‘non-speaking’ to partially resonate in sympathy with the main note. Being a smaller baby grand, the GC1 is highly suitable for smaller spaces, and a viable alternative to an upright piano.
Disklavier ENSPIRE
The state-of-the-art Disklavier ENSPIRE system transforms this instrument into a complete entertainment system that can be easily controlled using the ENSPIRE Controller app (Apple and Android). You can have the piano play from any of the 500 built-in songs, from the MusicSoft library of several thousand titles (purchasable), or the Disklavier Radio streaming service. In each of these cases the piano uses solenoids (electromagnets) which activate the hammers and pedals, and acoustically play specially pre-recorded performances, authentically reproducing ever tiny nuance of touch. You can even record yourself and hear the piano perform your own playing! In addition to this, this model includes the SH Silent System, which allows you to practice through headphones, without disturbing others, as well as MIDI connectivity, meaning that you can connect the piano to a computer and thus use it as a MIDI controller.
