  1. Yamaha

    Japan Technology

    With the subjects I just mentioned I only covered the surface of what Yamaha specialists can produce with their skillsets

    If you purchase a Yamaha Grand Piano, Yamaha goes so far that when you've chosen it (in person!) they deliver install, secure and tune your grand piano, so your experience is similar to what their musicians and technical building experts have (had) when building and playing the Grand.

    Yamaha has perfectionists who live and work by the principle of Kysen. They will tune and tweak their sublime work so it becomes even more sublime. Yamaha specialists gurus and experts do this in all fields that Yamaha is in.

    Images & photographs

    As you see I've included photographs of an 8 channel Yamaha portable mixing system, designed for micro live performance, with a build in two channel class D amplifier, and a set of dual driver speakers / monitors, which I use when I need balanced physical PA speaker output, that my sets of headphones cannot produce, in the studio, simply because the physics in combination with the acoustics prohibits such output.
    The system is tuned to the space, thus is small.
    It delivers a balanced flat sound up to 90dB of SPL in the this closed real world setting, if needed (though that is rare)
    This level has been measured (and is regularly done). I do this to make sure I don't overload my ears with dB thus damaging my precious engineering organs

    Yamaha in my personal and Pro live

    Yamaha plays an important role in my professional PA live.

    • I have mixing consoles made by them, which blow all others just plain out of the water, when I chose those Yamaha consoles.Note 1
    • microphones
    • dynamic
    • condenser
    • speaker systems
    • full range
    • monitors (floor)
    • subwoofers

    In my musical live Yamaha plays an important role too. I have instruments ranging from the humble recorder to

    • string instruments
    • brass
    • many others, too many to specify here

    Note 1
    Naturally I have specialized mixers from other brands which do an excellent job. Yamaha does not make those, so I have no fields of comparable parameters

  2. New rule for myself: from now on the bassoon wing swab and the bocal swab will never, ever, ever be left next to each other on the table. Luckily I realized quickly that I was trying to pull something much too thick through the bocal. Stopped just in time to get it out without damaging anything. 😳

  14. The first law of woodwind playing: always have electrical tape handy.

  15. I've been in the #orchestra pit all week playing #flute family instruments and a bit of #harp. It'll be nice to have the next few days off from the show, even though it's been a lot of fun!

    But I also have three other gigs this week, so there's that... 🙃🥰

  16. I've been in the #orchestra pit all week (playing #flute family instruments and and a bit of #harp). It'll be nice to have the next four days off from the show, even though it's a lot of fun!
