- Yamaha AvantGrand N1x Review
The Yamaha AvantGrand N1x is a hybrid piano which has the same keyboard feel as a traditional Grand Piano. Coupled with both the CFX and Bosendofer Imperial concert piano samples, this is a wonderful instrument to play.

The purpose of these sorts of pianos (AvantGrand or Novus) is that you can have a very high quality grand piano action in an environment where any type of acoustic instrument (grand or upright) would be completely impractical i.e. accommodation where access is extremely limited and where the volume of an acoustic instrument would not be acceptable. The upper and lower parts of the piano can be separated meaning the instrument can easily be installed even in a very small flat. Not everybody who wants to spend money on valued posessions lives in a large house.
Sorry but although it sounds nice I’m not too keen on its look. It looks boxy as if it’s trying to look between a grand piano and upright and this was the result. As if it didn’t quite know what to morph into. I know it’s probably just me.
I think the size is related to the space required for the full-sized concert grand piano key bed. I'm sure the designers could have made it larger, but not sure that they could have made it more compact.
Thank you, that certainly makes sense.
It looks and sounds beautiful, I want one!
Dear Santa...
The famous Russian pianist has a Yamaha N1 and in competitions he has won uses either a Steinway piano or Yamaha grand piano. Here is a video of him playing his Yamaha N1

Just found this. Nice and enlightening. I like the way this pianist plays.
3:53 Song name please?
Anyone compare the acoustic tone (through the speaker) between the N1X and the N2? Thanks.
I really like the sound of Yamahas digital pianos, but the N1x is only around 600€ less then the Kawai Novus right now, and the Novus has features like the real damper mechanisms, which make a big difference in feel in my opinion. So i don't know if the pricing of Yamaha makes sense here, considering the instrument itself, hasn't changed at all as far as i understood, but only the new samples have been added to it, which of course doesn't justify a price increase of 2000+€ from the N1, even though it just got released and prices will go down eventually.
But too many issues with the Novus NV 10.
@@Schmidthorst69 Really? I wasn't aware of that. I personally have only heard good things from the novus so far...guess i wasn't up to date then. Could u maybe tell me what the popular problems are?
@@niklasmennel215 I'm planning to update my Clavinova with something more realistic. In fact my flat is not well soundproofed and I'm playing a lot in the evening and in the night, a real acoustic isn't a oppurtunity for me.
So I went to my local piano store to test them all: AvantGrand N1, N2, N3X, Nu1X and the Novus 10. And after I tested them about a few hours I have to say that I was very disappointed by the Novus 10. OK, it has much more possibilities in choosing piano types and other instruments and you can adjust a lot of tuning. But the sound from the speakers was some kind of muffled and not so rich like here on most youtube Videos (which are not filmed with speakers but line in sound) .
The playing of the keyboard - like the other Kawai Digital Pianos - was more shaky than smoothe. And finally the finishing was very poor. On the ends of the black keys you could see the pure wood colour when pushing them down because there was no more black colour on it. That made me feeling very bad to sit and play on this piano. The most fun and enjoyment I definitely had on the AvantGrand N2. So I definitely know that I will save my money for the N2X.
Besides that you can read a lot of threads of NV 10 Issues in the piano world forum. But finally you have to test it on your own! :)
@The Sting Hey, Mr. Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner! :)
I'm a very proud and happy owner of the N1x since a few months. I'm so in love with it. First I was about to buy the N2. I have tested all of the Yamaha and Kawai hybrid pianos for a very long time. I found the feel and the sound through the speakers to be the best and most authentic with the N2. But some annoying overtones of the old CF3 sample bothered me so much that I decided on the N1X. The keyboard action is the same but the N2 has in addition the Tactile Response System which simulates the vibration of acoustic pianos.
But the N1X is still a really great instrument. Especially if you can't have an acoustic piano due to the living situation.
I really enjoy playing on it and have almost become addicted to it.
So the Avantgrand models are the digital pianos who come closest to the action, the feel and the sound of an acoustic piano.
So I hope you will make the right decision! But take this advice: test and play as much models as you can!
Good luck, mate!
And Novus NV10S doesn't behave correctly with sympathetic resonance when you play a key only with damper up without hit the strings (Or half the travel of a key). N1X behave like a real PIANO and have damper duration with aftertouch midi than can be used with advanced options in Pianoteq 7.
Nothing beats the AvantGrand and the Kawai NV serious of Hybrid Pianos. It is really the closest you’ll get to an Acoustic Grand. This gods thing about it is that you can connect a Apple MacBook with PianoTeq 7 Pro or other similar software and have as much pianos and other instruments at your finger tips. It is true in saying that the action of the high-end Clavinova’s or somewhat heavier for some reason.
is this played through its speakers?
When u say line in its still being reproduced in some speakers so what? A laptop? A mac? And this somehow better than using a camera to record its own speakers?
@@nezkeys79 The sound you are hearing on this video is basicaly the sound you would get if you would have quality headphones. You will not get this sound from the speakers. Not by a long shot.
Maafa 1619 U are literally everywhere wtf
@Maafa 1619 That's wrong - check out Cunningham Piano Videos for the N2 for example!
YEAH - the long awaited update. Thanx Yamaha. :)
But I hope so badly that there will also come an update for the N2 very, very soon!
I agree....
Yamaha sales reps have said there won’t be an N2x.
@@TheRyanKirk But I still believe! :)
hi, does the N1X has the guitar voicing too....NU1X doesn't have much voicing like the CLP785....i'm still split between NU1X and CLP785
Thanks for the review. Would you say that it is a big upgrade from the original N1, especially when it comes to play the default Yamaha grand sound through the pianos speaker (I know that the headphone sound makes a big difference).
Yes, mate. The samples are better, the sound through speakers and headphones is much more better and the amplifiers are more powerful!
Can anyone tell me if the new Hybrid Pianos send out the same low harmonic tones that an acoustic piano sends out? I'm not sure how to say it lol But I want a piano that interacts with me.
If you're referring to low-end resonance I'm happy to report the N3X has that in spades. I've heard the speakers on the N1X are kind of weak, however.
Played through the speakers, how does the sound compare to the N2? Thanks.
what's the name of the piece you play with the "Bosendorfer" ?
Thanks for this :)
Nice, but where is the N2X?
The most important question for me because I wanted to update my clavinova with the N2 this year.
@@Schmidthorst69 Maybe it will be shown in April? NAMM in Frankfurt?
@@bSharpHacker That would be awsome!
They have sell all the inventory of the N2 first
@@shaythiele1320 For the half of the regular price? :)
This N1X owns a nice amplification, but most of the time a digital piano is selected cause of the problems of neighbo(u)rhood. The main attractive thing with this N1X is the
keyboard, not really the sound whis is still digital, especially if you play with headphones.I am afraid that the sound with headphones is strictly the same as on my CLP-675, that means only average. I am going to test this N1X, bringing my headphones, and I'll judge if the keyboard merits that I change my Clavinova for this model.
I used to have the CLP-675 too but now I own the N1X and I can assure you it is worth every penny of the upgrade. The GrandTouch action on the 675 is way too stiff and does not feel at all like an acoustic grand.
@@Tidus3960 Thank you for your answer, it is interesting.
@@keplergso8369 I just can approve that too. It's really a big joy to play on the N1X. I came from a CLP 545 and the difference is huge! Go for it, mate! :)
is the sample of the piano sound the same as the one in the NU1X ?
Does the actions / touch require regular regulation like normal acoustic piano?
What is the name of the song that Tony is playing at ua-cam.com/video/g9DzL89Iv5A/v-deo.html
Enjoy this demo! Great!
Tony, will you please, if possible, demonstrate Yamaha's CVP 809.
Hello i would like to know the name of the song from 1.57 to 3:20,thank'you very much.
Hello i would like to know the name of the song at 3:55, the waltz in Am, thank'you very much
Beautiful
Thank you.
Good videos great presentation. A great concept but you don't mention the pedals.
Can the una corda be used in the same was as on the grand piano and what about the sostenuto pedal?
A concept which Kawai has already in the entire CA series. Long wooden keys on balance pins with hammers on top.
Can anyone please tell me the name of the melody played starting at 6:18?
It's "Glasgow Love Theme" from the movie Love Actually.
How is the key weight on this compared to the original n1?
We believe that it uses exactly the same key action
Yeah, the other instrument presets shouldn’t be on the machine imho. Pianos only.
you do not have to use them
Can one put Steinway sound samples for the keys in, besides Yamaha sound samples? Is the app for the tablet free; that is, comes with the purchase of the piano?
take casio there are realy good sound of hamburg d
Take a look at the program EZkeys. It allows you to play samples through your piano with USB connection.
Why don't you play at least one classical piece? I guess why: because it would immediately show how dry and digital this 'piano' sounds.
Very nice presentation, like all the others, thank's. Waiting for a comparition with the kawai novus nv10...for me, in the videos, yamaha sounds better, but i will have go to the store to make my mind.
It may feel more realistic to play but it still sounds like a damn digital sample. We really need to stop this compromising fascination with digital sampling, it will never feel alive and that is really what is essential about music as an art form.
?? Everything is a compromise of some sort. If you want the utlimate piano tone, you need to end up with a 9 footer. For some in apartments where acoustic piano is not viable, these fill a real need.
Excellent review Tony! Is the Bluetooth connectivity to the iPad app built-in?
nothing beats real strings though!
Yeah - and nothing beats a big house without any neighbours around! :)
I traded in my N3 2 years ago for an acoustic. While it had probably the best DP sound and action, like this new new N1x, it was sorely lacking. The sound here cannot in any way compare to any acoustic over 6'. It lacks overtones and complexity in general, along with compatible attack, bloom and decay. This is readily apparent in even demo videos. What finally convinced me to go acoustic was the limit in dynamic range. I reached a wall in playing things like the Goldberg Variations where it is essential to emphasize one note in a 2 note chord. Forget the sound differences (as if sampling any grand's sound scale will make any DP sound like one), you need a real string/hammer interaction to have a decent dynamic range. This N1x's sales pitch which is supposed to make you think you're getting a concert grand's sound is just that.
Thank you Stephen
Nobody said it could do better or as good as a grand piano indeed, but I'm positive the sampling library / VST plugin, audio station, amp and headset are a big deal.
In those conditions I find the (my) sound even better, minus the vibrations / soundwave in roomscale.
I just bought a Yamaha N2 Avantgrand and love it. While I agree that the Avantgrand is not entirely the same as a foot plus Yamaha CF or CX series...it comes very close and has real grand piano action.
In my understanding, this is supplemental instrument that can be played during the night time, while rest of the family is asleep. Meaning used headphones.
9000 for a digital piano? I don’t care how good it sounds, it will never sound as good as a real acoustic piano. The only reason one would get this is because of space, and even then they are starting to make uprights with grand piano action.
You hit the nail on the head! It is manufactured for people who don't have space for a grand piano. It has a grand piano action in an upright size cabinet, with the benefit of digital features such as headphone output and recording. Both types of instrument have a place - it just depends on a user's individual circumstances.
i tryed n2 and the feel is just as nice as on steinway but it is little bit too bright bass for me
9000 don't get you an silent acoustic piano as good as the N1X.
The sub 20000 market is heading fully digital and its a awsome thing.
Having a grand at this pricegive you a chinesse made piano..or a small yamaha c3... id take a n1x anytime vs.. there is no maintenance..and the piano is always tunes.
Hell the roland gp609 is a good exemple of amazing technology that i preffer even to these.
Modelling is thefutur.
I put this upstair..can stream music in it.. record.. hunidity doesntalter it... i find myself playing it more often then my yamaha c7.
Its 2019..time to move on.
A real yamaha C7x or a steinway is nice and will never be replace.. but under 20k there is literally no advantage to go acoustic.. just like photography yearsago... the futur is digital.
My two cent.
9000 ? it is 7000€ now.
Is it possible to connect wireless earphones to N1X? Thanks👍
Maafa 1619 ur so fucking negative
Here in the States, the N1X comes with a built-in blue tooth interface. I understand this feature is not available everywhere the instrument is sold. So, you'd want to check. However, they all have a usb interface that will accept an ethernet or bluetooth adapter.
No, sorry u can't use the headphones with bluetooth. You can connect it to music on a device and use the boxes as speakers.
There would be a delay in the sound by when you pressed down a key and by the time you heard it on the headphones. Nature of bluetooth tech and that’s why no wireless headphone connectivity.
You re not honest. You never play with the speakers.
How are we hearing the sound if if its not being reproduced through some speakers? Through a mac or laptop speakers?
We’re hearing the sound through a line-out plugged from the piano directly into a computer. It’s actually the best way to hear what the piano actually sounds like, in its purest form, though yes, it bypasses the speakers. However, with headphones, this is what you would hear.
