Bio: Established in 1987 in New York City, Yamaha Artist Services, Inc. (YASI) provides a wide range of professional services exclusively for performing artists, concert venues, performing arts organizations and educational institutions, representing an unparalleled commitment to the music industry and an invaluable resource for musicians, presenters and educators worldwide. Since 2005, Yamaha Artist Services New York has been located in the heart of midtown Manhattan on Fifth Avenue and 54th Street, in a historical landmarked 1925 building which originally served as Aeolian Hall, the headquarters of the Aeolian Piano Company. Designed by Warren & Wetmore, the architects of other notable buildings in New York City (Grand Central Terminal, Steinway Hall,) the building later became the headquarters for Elizabeth Arden. Occupying over 4,000 square feet, the Yamaha Artist Services Piano Salon features an elegant performance venue seating up to 150 and houses a large selection of concert-ready Premium Pianos of various sizes, including the acclaimed Yamaha CF series (CFX, CF6, CF4,) Bösendorfer, and Disklavier instruments, as well as the innovative AvantGrand hybrid piano. Led by Chief Concert Technician Hiro Mizutani, formerly the head of Yamaha’s technical training academy in Hamamatsu, Japan, Yamaha Artist Services also provides outstanding technical support for concert venues and artists throughout the United States. The Piano Salon was designed with a state-of-the art, acoustically adaptable sound environment, Yamaha’s Active Field Control system (AFC). The sound processing technology of AFC can optimize room acoustics to suit the size of the performance, from solo to ensemble, and can recreate authentic acoustic simulations of other performing arts venues. The Piano Salon also features a wide-screen projection system and stereo surround sound, along with video recording equipment and a Newtek Tricaster, for live webcasts of concerts and events. The Piano Salon is a versatile space which hosts instrument selections for artists, concert venues and educational institutions; rehearsals, recitals, auditions, masterclasses, press receptions, lectures and film screenings. Most recently, the Piano Salon has been at the forefront of showcasing Yamaha’s groundbreaking RemoteLive(TM) technology, a brilliant new way of delivering a live performance experience by linking two or more Disklavier pianos together, anywhere in the world. Yamaha Artist Services New York works in close collaboration with other Yamaha Artist Service centers throughout the world, including those located in Japan, China, and Europe, ensuring the seamless and unwavering support of Yamaha Artists internationally, wherever they are performing.
