Amazing Technology Lets Elton John Perform At Disneyland And Around The World Simultaneously

When Yamaha asked Elton John to perform for it's 125th anniversary event Jan 25 at Disneyland, of course he said yes. After all, the company has made his touring pianos for over 20 years and is also the manufacturer of his famed million-dollar piano in Las Vegas. What makes this show really unique is how Elton John will be able to play simultaneously on the piano at Disneyland and on pianos around the world.According to Elton John's website, his "performance on the Yamaha Disklavier reproducing piano onstage with a 70-piece orchestra will be streamed live over the Internet and simultaneously to remote Disklaviers in many countries around the world. His actual piano keystrokes are then faithfully recreated, note for note, in real time on each of the remote instruments, while the entire orchestra is seen and heard on adjacent monitors, in perfect sync with the remote piano performances. The locations of the remote performance venues will be announced shortly."

Talk about truly amazing! If you're interested in seeing first-hand how Yamaha Disklavier pianos work, head to Hart Music on Main Street in Grand Junction and ask for a demo. While you're there, why not sit down and dream you're Elton John.
