Yamaha Corporation Of America Winter Namm 2012 Press

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.”
