The Graded Hammer Effect action gives all keys an authentic resistance that increases from the top register to the lower. Keys are weighted heavier in the lower octaves and become gradually lighter in the upper octaves, just as on an acoustic grand piano.
This Yamaha grand touch makes it possible for you to naturally pound out thunderous low notes with your left hand, and at the same time let your right hand fingers fly on the higher octaves.
