Key Features
  • Is this a real grand piano action? Yes—actual grand piano hammers and keys, the same mechanism found in Yamaha concert grands. Real wood keys with authentic weight and resistance.
  • Will it capture every nuance of my playing? Non-contact optical sensors track velocity, depth, and release with microscopic precision. From the softest pianissimo to thundering fortissimo—infinite dynamic expression.
  • How realistic is the piano sound? Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial grands sampled from four locations on the soundboard. You hear the same three-dimensional tone as sitting at a concert grand.
  • Can I practice late at night without disturbing anyone? Binaural sampling creates natural, immersive headphone sound. Practice at 2 AM with concert hall acoustics—your neighbors hear nothing.
  • Will it ever need tuning? Never. Perfect A440 pitch every time you sit down, regardless of humidity or temperature. Save thousands in tuning costs over the piano's lifetime.
  • Does it sound like a real grand in the room? Four-channel spatial speaker system projects sound from multiple points like an acoustic grand. Bass resonates from the left, treble sparkles from the right.
  • How do I record my performances? One-button USB recording in studio-quality WAV format. Also includes Bluetooth, WiFi, and full MIDI connectivity for apps and recording software.
  • Will it stream audio from my devices? Yes—Bluetooth and WiFi connect to Smart Pianist app, streaming services, and your music library. Play along with any audio through the premium speaker system.
  • Does it fit in smaller spaces? Absolutely. Grand piano performance in less than 5 feet of floor space—perfect for apartments, studios, or any room where a full acoustic grand won't fit.
  • Does the pedal respond like a real grand? True half-pedal support with realistic damper resistance. Subtle pedaling techniques work exactly as they would on a concert grand piano.
  • Can it handle dense, complex music? 256-note polyphony means you'll never experience dropped notes, even in the most demanding passages with full sustain pedal.
  • Does it recreate sympathetic string resonance? Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) calculates how all 88 strings vibrate together in real-time, creating the warm, complex harmonics of an acoustic grand.

The Hybrid Piano That Feels Like a $100,000 Grand

See Why Pro Pianists Choose the AvantGrand N1X

The Same Mechanical Action as a $100K Yamaha Concert Grand

Real Grand Piano Keys Under Your Fingers

This isn't a simulation of grand piano action—it's the real thing. The N1X uses actual grand piano hammers and keys, the same mechanism found in concert halls worldwide. When you press a key, you're moving real hammers with real weight and real momentum. Your fingers learn proper technique because they're working against authentic resistance. Teachers love it because students develop correct touch from day one. You love it because every subtle nuance you learned on acoustic grands translates perfectly.

Every Subtle Movement Translated into Sound

Your Touch Captured with Laser Precision

Optical sensors track your key movement without touching the mechanism—no friction, no wear, no compromise. The system detects the tiniest variations in your touch, from a whisper-soft pianissimo to a thundering fortissimo. This means your musical expression comes through exactly as you intend it. Traditional digital pianos use contact switches that wear out and miss nuances. The N1X captures everything, forever.

Four-Point Recording Creates Three-Dimensional Tone

Sound That Comes from Everywhere, Just Like a Real Grand

A real grand piano doesn't just make sound—it radiates it from multiple points across the soundboard. The N1X captures this exactly, using samples recorded from four different locations. When you play, sound emerges from multiple speakers positioned just like an acoustic piano's sound sources. The result? You hear bass resonating from the left, treble sparkling from the right, and harmonics blooming from the center—exactly like sitting at a nine-foot concert grand.

Natural Sympathetic Resonance in Every Note

Strings Resonate Together Like They Should

In an acoustic grand, when you play middle C, strings across the entire piano vibrate in sympathy. This creates the warm, complex tone that makes grands sound alive. Virtual Resonance Modeling recreates this precisely—when you play, hold the sustain pedal, or let notes ring, the N1X calculates and produces these sympathetic vibrations in real time. It's the difference between a piano that sounds mechanical and one that breathes with your playing.

Headphone Sound So Good You Will Forget You Are Wearing Them

Practice at Midnight Without Waking Anyone

Regular digital pianos sound flat and lifeless in headphones. The N1X uses binaural sampling—a recording technique that captures sound the way your ears actually hear it. Put on headphones and you will swear you are sitting at a concert grand in a world-class hall. The sound has depth, space, and dimensionality. You can practice at 2 AM without disturbing anyone, and actually enjoy it. No more choosing between good sound and quiet practice.

Perfect Pitch Year-Round, No Matter the Weather

Never Pay for Tuning Again

Acoustic grands need tuning every 3-6 months at $150-300 per visit. They go out of tune when humidity changes, temperature shifts, or you simply play them. The N1X stays perfectly in tune forever—through summer heat, winter dry air, and everything between. That's $3,000+ saved over ten years, not to mention the hassle of scheduling technicians. You get concert-hall tuning quality every single day, with zero maintenance.

Built-in Recording, Bluetooth Streaming, and App Control

Record Your Playing with One Button Press

Plug in a USB drive and record your performances in WAV format—studio quality, instantly shareable. Connect via Bluetooth to stream backing tracks from your phone, or use the Smart Pianist app to control every feature from your tablet. Want to record directly into your DAW? USB audio and MIDI connections make it simple. The N1X gives you recording studio capabilities without the recording studio price tag.
