Here's two very shot sound clip demos of the Yamaha NP-30's two grand pianos. They're short, but give you an idea of what they sound like. Also it's MP3 so it's not CD quality. The demos are Grand Piano 1 and Grand Piano 2. You'll notice on Grand Piano 2.., there is some slight frequency ringing on a few of the higher notes.

I just banged these demos out real fast.., didn't have too much time. I'll try to go into some good demos over the next few days if I can.

Very nice demo Squeak, for a rush job.

I'm quite impressed with the Piano 1, and a little bit less with Piano 2 which sounds a little "harder" and probably better for banging out Rock and Roll.

Thanks.

That's exactly what Piano 2 is for. It's more for Rock, or even some Pop music. It's not as polished as the Grand 1.

very nice, thanks squeak
yeah, I noticed that ringing, isn't that bad, but it's noticeable.

Take all the time you need for harpsichord if you're going to make some samples


ok, you have convinced me

Squeak... EXCELLENT!
Thanks for posting some demos at least you have the Knads to do so unlike many here on the SZ who love to talk the talk ...
but Cant walk the walk!
I enjoyed listening to your selections, Well Done, the NP30 certainly sounds good for its price range.....
hope to hear more from ya in the furture...

Thanks again!

I just got like 10 emails asking what the first song was. That was one of the many versions of John Legends "Ordinary People". There must be a 1000 versions of that song out.

Glad you like it Dnj. When I get home from work this evening I'll try and put some more up.

Squeak

thanks a lot for the demos!
Could you please, when you have the chance, record a demo of the Electric Pianos?

Thanks!

I'm heading out to work shortly... If I can't get any up tonight I'll have some EP demos up for ya tomorrow.

Thanx for the demo, sounds good. Interestingly enough the 2nd song sounded better to me. Maybe the song and the notes played made a difference, but for the demo #2 get's my vote.

Maybe will sound different to me in person.

Also, makes me wonder what people are using for speakers on their computers etc. I am running mine through my Harmon/Kardon tuner receiver and 4 speaker cabinets. So, mayber it would sound different through regular computer monitors

I liked # 2 better myself.
My computer has Logitec Z2300 playing sounds.
You do play beautifully Squeak. I would like to hear more of your classical work. I played classical for my first 7 years and jazz for the next 64 years but I still like to listen to that style of classics.
Best to you and keep up the good stuff.
