the Yamaha Disklavier is listed as one of the gear that helped define Aphex Twin's pioneering sound

At 2:08, it can be clearly seen that the Concert Grand Piano A.R. is using at the Nobel Peace Prize concert is a Yamaha Disklavier E3.

Your innovative live show combines audio and video elements, and is based around two Yamaha Disklavier grand pianos. How are they connected and programmed?

"Yamaha," says Sir Elton," understands my needs as a professional musician and performer."

It has circled the globe countless times. It has been played everywhere from the Kremlin and the White House to Gianni Versace's living room. They even wanted to put it into the Smithsonian, but Elton John said, "No! I still need it to play."

It's "Piano A," the first and favorite of Elton's four 9-foot Yamaha Disklavier® DCFIII concert grands. "It's probably the most played, most traveled piano on the planet," says Keith Bradley, Elton's tour director. "Actually, Elton has four touring piano systems, which are represented by the letters A through D. Each system involves a Yamaha Disklavier piano and a rack of gear. There's also piano E, a 7'6" Yamaha grand in London that's used for most of the studio work. But Elton's deepest emotional attachment is to Piano A.

In a YouTube video, Mark Mothersbaugh is shown using a Yamaha Disklavier E3 DCFXE3PRO Concert Grand Piano, which is equipped with MIDI functionality.

"For writing at the piano, I love the Yamaha Disklavier because I can capture ideas as I find them and go back later and choose. The Disklavier is also a great tool for setting up a microphone because one has a 'constant' in the equation. I can record the exact same performance in several microphone set ups, or with various variables, like preamps, and isolate just the thing I’m testing."

Gary Barlow has played this piano since Take That's "Progress Live" tour and all his solo tours since.
