Where it sits
Its price class holds 10 digital pianos between €8,000 and €18,750 (EU street prices) – the Yamaha AvantGrand N2 sits in the upper third there. The Yamaha Clavinova CVP-909 from the same brand sits around €2,400 below it – but with Bluetooth. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Kawai NOVUS NV-10S and Kawai NOVUS NV-12.
Strengths & limits
In its favour
- 88 weighted keys with hammer action – the fingers learn the right force from day one
- Wooden keys instead of plastic – closer to an acoustic piano
- Three pedals (damper, sostenuto, soft) are included
- USB-MIDI for learning apps, notation software and recording
Against it
- No Bluetooth – learning apps only work by cable
- A piece of furniture with a fixed place – needs assembly, and moving it takes two people
