Yamaha's popular GB1 Grand Piano just keeps on producing all the right notes! It was voted the UK's 'best acoustic piano' by MIA (Music Industries Association) members at their recent prestigious annual awards ceremony.

This accolade is one of the most highly prized honours in the musical instrument industry and coincides with Yamaha’s announcement of an updated version of the GB1 featuring a 'soft-fall' lid and a price reduction from £8199 to £7599. The GB1 instrument now looks set to become one of the UK's most popular and best selling models, the 'best acoustic piano' title no doubt significantly boosting it's chances.

Given its highly compact dimensions and a surprisingly affordable price tag of £7599, the GB1 offers uncompromising levels of musical performance and further demonstrates Yamaha's unique ability to create instruments that retain exceptional sound quality thanks to a no-compromise approach to materials and levels of craftsmanship. A true Yamaha Grand Piano in all respects, created for discerning and demanding customers on smaller budgets in smaller spaces.

Ever fancied your hand at recording but never quite took the plunge for what ever reason? Maybe you didn’t know how, or you didn’t have the right gear, or you simply thought you weren’t good enough to worry about making a recording of yourself.

Whether you’re starting out on the path to become a Grammy award winning producer, recording a song as a gift for someone special, or simply recording a voice over for a home video or a podcast, there is absolutely no reason in this day and age to not at least give recording a go - just like learning to play an instrument, making your own recordings is great fun. One things for sure - every note you play, every word you sing, every laugh you create is lost forever ........... if you don’t record it!

Described as the Jimi Hendrix of the acoustic guitar, Antonio Forcione is one of the most charismatic performers to come out of Europe in recent years. Breaking the mould across most conventional popular guitar styles, be it Jazz, Spanish, African, Brazilian or Improvised music, his virtuoso playing technique and complete mastery of the instrument reaches a level of dynamic expression and versatility few can match.
Yamaha’s latest L-Series acoustics are the perfect partner for Antonio’s stunning performance with the latest ART pickup systems giving a more natural, dynamic and expressive response than any other pickup system and the ARE pre-aged top lending the guitar a richer, more complex tone while the L-Series exclusive construction features give the stability and playability to match the most demanding of performances.
Involved in the development process of the guitars with Yamaha’s R&D team, Antonio was the first UK player to take delivery of a new L-Series guitar and is now teaming up with Chappell of Bond Street, the first UK dealer to offer the new L-Series for sale, at an exclusive launch event on November 6th, showcasing these stunning guitars and giving players the chance to get hands-on with a range of models.
