- This state-of-the-art grand piano was made by the Yamaha Corporation in Tokyo, Japan in 2000. The company had planned to make just three of the pianos to mark its 100th year of manufacturing. This Pro 2000 model features computer-based control of keys, DVD player, voice control, and the ability to play music from a CD or an external video. The piano is serial number 5872002 and has a compass of AAA-c5, Yamaha repetition action, felt hammers, wound and plain steel string, single-, double-, and triple-strung, 3 pedals: una corda, sostenuto, and dampers, a one-piece cast-iron aluminized frame, cross-strung, and a cheery and brushed aluminum case with a two-section Plexiglas lid.
