More people are now looking at ways in which they can play the acoustic piano in silence during practice but still experience the action of a traditional piano and the benefits that this offers.
At The Piano Shop, we have tried, tested and investigated a range of silent pianos and have come to the conclusion that the best solution currently available is the Austrian ‘Adsilent’.
To add to this, we are also proud to offer this option in both upright and grand piano choices. What it offers is the opportunity for you to take advantage of having the traditional acoustic piano experience in the modern world thanks to digital advances.
All it takes is a single turn of a lever and hammers are prevented from striking the strings and this delivers complete silence. Despite there being no sound, pianists can actually use their headphones to hear what they are playing.
Using the latest technology, the notes that are played are then converted by digital sensors into a sampled piano sound that can be heard through the headphones. This makes it possible for pianists to experience the touch sensitivity that comes with an original piano. Furthermore, it increases the potential practice time as it can be used at any time of day, regardless of whether it is day or night.
The Adsilent system comes with Bluetooth wireless connectivity and that means that it has the ability to link up with the Adsilent smartphone and tablet applications. Along with this, it also has a USB interface that allows players to connect smart devices and computers that use applications such as GarageBand, Cubase and Logic. The pianist can also choose a range of instrument voices, all of which can be selected and controlled from their smartphone.
There is also another useful feature which is a second headphone output that enables pianists to connect a second set of headphones or a recording device. Pianists can also make use of the ability to record and playback their performance instantly at the touch of the button proving how the Adsilent makes it possible for pianists to explore the touch and playability of the acoustic piano in a digital world.
The video shows how the piano is wirelessly connected to other music software through its Bluetooth wireless connectivity.
Whether in the home, school, college or studio, an adsilent system installed on our traditionally styled Yamaha’s offer the best of all worlds. Please contact us if you would like us to quote for the installation of this system to your piano.
