Harry Harris

Recently announced AvantGrand dealer Edinburgh Organ Studio are to hold a recital evening along with Harry Harris. The evening to be held on Wednesday 22nd September is free admission and starts at 7pm. Harry will be demonstrating Yamaha’s acclaimed N3 Hybrid Piano.

Launched last year to huge enthusiasm from media, piano professionals, musicians and the European Piano Teachers Association, these unique new hybrid instruments have opened a new chapter in piano development and design and marked a new era in the history of the traditional pianoforte.

The hybrid nature of the piano is a result of combining a traditional concert grand piano keyboard action – complete with hammers – with some of the world's most advanced sampling technology, developed specially for the AvantGrand.

Artists are keen to point out that, in their professional opinion, the AvantGrand is the first non-acoustic instrument to create a physical and emotional relationship with the player, offering a true acoustic piano experience. The newly developed tactile Response System transmits 'string' vibrations through the keyboard action to the player's hands. To a serious and accomplished pianist, feeling these vibrations is integral to the playing process.

In addition to the keyboard action, the AvantGrand offers highly detailed and accurate sound made possible by Yamaha's proprietary and highly advanced sampling capability. This is matched by the superb four-channel, three-way spatial acoustic speaker system, complimented by two sound board resonators that exactly duplicate the non-directional sound dispersion felt and heard by concert pianists.

Harry has recently been heard on Radio 2 "Friday night is music night" to great acclaim, Jonathan Ross described Harry as "the best damn pianist in the civilised world".
