Horizontal Free Keyboard Concept (Yamaha 2013)
Identify each single element, find the material that matches each one and juxtapose them in the most reasonable way.
In Yamaha DL we believe that the player, his musical instrument and the audience are deeply linked, from the intimacy when the musician sits next to his instrument for practicing to the symbiosis with the audience while standing up on a stage during a concert.
Because of an infinite number of situations, a keyboard shouldn’t compel the musician to a unique play style but should bring several layers of expression and stimulate the creativity.
The musician must feel free with his keyboard so we decided to abstract any flat reference. Horizontal Free Keyboard Concept is tilt-able from a top flat surface to a diving one. It stands up on the border between versatility and emotion by its shape, the choice of the materials and its configurations.
