Yamaha Silent Sessions with HJ Lim

I love this new video from Yamaha showing South Korean pianist HJ Lim floating along, what looks like the canals near mile end Park and Victoria Park, East London, atop a narrow boat in full swing on her piano (video at the bottom of this post).

Silent Piano Technology

This stunning film shows HJ Lim playing Yamaha’s Silent Piano Technology which amazingly enables the piano to be played silently using headphones! When the silent function is activated, the hammers will no longer hit the strings and instead, a highly sophisticated sensor-technology captures all movements of the keys and sends them to the digital tone module.

A headphone-enabled piano means she can play Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No.2 in complete silence while drifting casually down a canal without upsetting the neighbours - or disturbing the ducks!
