With all of the benefits of a hybrid piano, yet none of the maintenance, this piano is a perfect match for anyone who wants a realistic feel and sound.

One great thing about a great digital or hybrid piano is that they do not need to be tuned. Ever. They literally never need tuning. Still, not all hybrid pianos are maintenance free.

Still, some hybrid pianos hide a surprising secret inside – their wood action parts are more susceptible to changes in humidity and wear from playing.

Comparing Hybrid Pianos

Hybrid pianos with wood keys and action parts – like the Yamaha NU1 hybrid piano – have the same limitation as acoustic pianos. Because the keys in the middle of the keyboard are used more than the keys on either end, the bushings, screws, and springs need to be adjusted from time to time to keep the action response even.

This Celviano piano uses state-of-the-art materials throughout the action to insure the feel stays the same over the life of the piano.

Another difference between Celviano and the Yamaha NU1 is in the design of the action. To make the case smaller, Yamaha uses an upright style action design.

Notice the similarities between the Yamaha hybrid piano action on the left and their acoustic piano on the right. Grand pianos have a completely different action design.

Because they are designed vertically – grand piano action are horizontal – the repetition is slower and touch is lighter, making it more challenging to play fast or play soft. Yamaha hybrid pianos with grand style actions are more than a half a foot deeper, to fit in that type of action. Celviano fits a superior grand style action in a smaller space than the AvantGrand pianos – just over an inch deeper than the Yamaha hybrid with the upright action.

How the Celviano Outperforms the Yamaha NU1

The Celviano action is designed like a grand piano, using sensors that read the movement of a grand piano type hammer, resulting in remarkably quick repetition and a touch that is as intuitive as it is responsive.

The Celviano hybrid piano action is modeled after a grand piano, but uses more stable composite materials. The design is also much more simple, reducing friction between the player’s fingers and the hammer.

Unprecedented Hybrid Piano Features

This great little piano costs the same as the Yamaha NU1 yet performs like Yamaha N1X and Yamaha N3X AvantGrand pianos.

Even better, it uses a more simple design and more stable composite parts in the action, which should lead to increased stability.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced player, you will feel the difference. In fact, we invite you to try this piano side by side with a top-of-the-line grand piano right in our showroom!
