If you move to another location, you can transport this instrument along with your other belongings. You can move the unit

Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the instrument
to excessive vibration or shock.
Features
GH (Graded Hammer) keyboard
A special Graded Hammer keyboard feature graded key weight and response throughout the keyboard range. They
respond to a heavier touch in the low range of the keyboard and a lighter touch in the higher range of the keyboard,
thus providing natural grand-piano type playability.
The Graded Hammer keyboard also offers superb playability for tremolo and other repetitive-striking techniques.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
This digital piano offers a rich and versatile range of sounds, which are created using Yamaha's proprietary sampling
tone-generation system, “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling.”
AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system that creates sounds close to those of an acoustic instrument by
digitally recording the sounds of an instrument and applying high-quality digital filtering technology to the recorded
audio samples.
The sound waveform created by an acoustic piano differs depending on the player's strength of touch, from
pianissimo to fortissimo.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling can create extremely dynamic nuances by recording samples at various playing
strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the greater the resulting expressiveness of the instrument.
The piano voice “Grand Piano 1” features a totally new sample recorded from a full-size concert grand piano. Each
note in the sample has been adjusted meticulously so that the digital piano will play only the very best piano sounds.
The piano voices are well-separated sounds featuring a fast attack and a satisfying response.
The “Grand Piano 1” voice features multiple wave samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling). That is,
different samples are used depending on how fast or strong the player strikes the keys. Therefore, this voice expresses
detailed dynamics and sounds much closer to those of a true acoustic piano.
