The Yamaha NU1XA is a hybrid upright digital piano that redefines realism in a compact, elegant form. Marrying the craftsmanship of Yamaha’s acoustic pianos with cutting-edge digital innovation, the NU1XA offers the authentic feel of a true acoustic upright, complete with genuine wooden keys and a refined action that includes Yamaha’s acclaimed Articulation Sensor System, providing astonishing responsiveness and dynamic control.

At the heart of the NU1XA lies the sound of two of the world’s greatest concert grands: the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial. These iconic voices are faithfully recreated through meticulous multi-sampling and Yamaha’s Binaural Sampling technology, delivering an immersive headphone experience that feels as though you're seated at the original instrument in a concert hall. Grand Expression Modelling and Virtual Resonance Modelling (VRM) work in tandem to recreate the nuanced mechanical and tonal interactions of a grand piano – from the subtle lift of the damper to the resonance of every string and soundboard.

Yamaha’s GrandTouch™ Pedals and a newly developed speaker system elevate this hybrid piano into a new realm of expressive possibility, making it ideal for advanced pianists, discerning home players and music institutions alike. The built-in Bluetooth® connectivity allows seamless integration with Yamaha’s suite of apps and smart devices, enabling remote control, recording, and interaction with educational tools.

The cabinet of the NU1XA retains the sophistication of an upright acoustic piano, with a sleek, minimalist profile that fits effortlessly into modern interiors without compromising the integrity of its sound or touch. It’s the most compact member of the AvantGrand family, yet offers a truly grand piano experience – in both performance and presence.
