Pianists Judy Roberts, Robert Glasper and Benny Green, along with saxophonist Greg Fishman, played a RemoteLive demonstration at the 54 th Annual Monterey Jazz Festival in September. The performances were then rebroadcast in October to select locations throughout the country. When Yamaha launched its Artists In Education program in December at Yamaha’s midtown piano salon, the event featured a simulcast of a Yamaha Artist Services concert from New York City featuring a special program of classical and jazz selections. The concert featured five piano professors from across the country, including Nicolas Roth, Associate Professor of Piano at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. An audience of 100 people gathered at West Music in Des Moines to view Roth’s performance. Yamaha capped off this momentous year with a special series of “Mike Garson & Friends” Christmas broadcasts, was aired the week before Christmas, once on Christmas Eve and once on Christmas Day. Beyond leaving audiences delighted and stunned, the technology has also drawn media attention from ABC News, Time Magazine, and New York 1 News.

"With RemoteLive, Disklavier owners can enjoy live piano music at home in a whole new way - it lends a whole new meaning to a dinner party or music gathering, since endless possibilities are created,” said Michael Chan Williamson, Store Manager of Keyboard Concepts, which participated in the Newport Music Festival broadcasts. “Dealers need to simply invite prospects to their store for a demonstration.

According to Christopher Guerin, Director of Program Development for Sweetwater Music, "Our RemoteLive press conference featuring Mike Garson performing in Los Angeles on a Disklavier here in Fort Wayne was a memorable and effective way to launch our new Yamaha piano showroom. It was jaw dropping for the people who attended." “Our demonstration of RemoteLive was an eye-popping experience for the guests that attended our recent showroom launch event,” said Sara Faust of Faust Harrison Pianos, who was also impressed by the technology's massive implications for home entertainment and music education. “It provided a totally genuine, live musical experience, and yet, by means of this extraordinary technology, it was also a wonder.” When Yamaha added the legendary pianist Byron Janis to its Artist Roster in November 2011, the event was marked with a RemoteLive performance carried live to a number of cities, including Skokie, Illinois. “Even the finest audio system in the world cannot duplicate the nuances of what a real ‘live’ piano can produce,” commented Jeff Tasch, who received the performance at Grand Piano Haus. “RemoteLive offers this possibility and much more. RemoteLive will forever change the way we will listen to and enjoy piano music. It is truly a remarkable technological breakthrough.” For his part, Janis, a champion of RemoteLive, stated, “I think the impossible has become possible. It’s a tremendous step towards many new things. It’s only the beginning.” Yamaha will hold RemoteLive demonstrations throughout Winter NAMM 2012. Please visit the booth for details.
