This used to be my primary piano, and even after purchasing a full grand I kept it as a practice piano because it works so well, takes very little space, and allows me to practice at night when others are sleeping. I've even done some recording with this piano, which always comes out perfectly. I'm only selling now because the rest of the family complains about my two pianos.

The N1 uses a real grand piano action, the same one Yamaha builds into its acoustic grands, with genuine wooden key components and the escapement feel that serious players look for. Non-contact optical sensors read the timing, depth, and force of every keystroke, so quiet passages stay delicate and big moments have real weight. It feels every bit like playing a perfectly-maintained full grand piano, which is helpful when preparing for performances.

The sound comes from Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand, captured with four-point Spatial Acoustic Sampling and played back through a three-way speaker system with dedicated woofer, mid-range, and tweeter. The result is a full, dimensional tone that fills a room, without a single string to tune or a humidity worry to manage.

It was serviced about 18 months ago by a highly reputable professional piano tech. The keys and pedals were regulated and electronically calibrated, so the action is even across the keyboard and the sensors track touch and pedaling accurately. It is ready to play as-is.

I highly recommend getting a piano mover or a professional mover for this one as it weighs 275 pounds.
