    I’m hosting a judge for a piano competition. The competitors are all at the University of Memphis, but the adjudicators are here, in Denver, and Texas. It’s a live remote broadcast through the Yamaha Disklaviers.

    Really is some cool stuff.

      Cool! Can you record any of it, even if it's just on your phone?

      Please love yourself.

        Very cool.

        How do y'all know sound quality is the same among judges?

          How do y'all know sound quality is the same among judges?

          The sensors and the solenoids are capable of capturing and reproducing up to 1024 levels of expression and the pedaling to several hundred levels of depression. Half pedaling, quarter, butterfly… It’s all captured and reproduced.

          Now, on the receiving end, every one of the Disklaviers goes through a self calibration process that measures exactly how much push is needed to the solenoids on the keys, dampers, etc… to produce each of those 1024 dynamic levels.

          Now obviously, the regulation or voicing on the instrument in Denver will be different than the one here, but the calibration helps equalize that, plus it doesn’t matter to the judge in Denver if her piano is brighter than others or if the room acoustics are different, as the performance is constant for each of the judges, and they are only comparing contestants.

          The one improvement that I will push for next time is consistency in size of the piano.

            I’ll be impressed when one of the judges is an AI
