YAMAHA PIANOS

Yamaha's Red Piano on tour in the USA

Elton and Yamaha have been partners in creating great music since 1993. Now they are joining forces for a new project: the Elton John Limited Edition Signature Series Red Piano, based on Elton's hit Las Vegas show, The Red Piano. Buyers of a piano from this series will own a piece of Yamaha history, which incorporates the musical genius of Elton John.
The Elton John Limited Edition Signature Series Red Piano bears Elton's autograph - and comes loaded with his own exclusive performances for a unique home entertainment experience.

“The whole concept, and even the title, for my Las Vegas show came from the Yamaha red piano that is center stage throughout,” said Elton. “It just seemed such a perfect fit for the whole dynamic, wild, colorful David LaChapelle production. It’s the focus of my show. Whilst classic and beautiful, a black piano looked too ordinary for Vegas - my high gloss red piano is truly the star of the show! I am delighted that Yamaha has decided to produce this limited edition.”

The special artist edition of the Mark IV Disklavier is the exact color of the piano that John plays in his Red Piano show. In addition, the piano features five exclusive Elton John recordings including Your Song, Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man, Take Me to the Pilot, and Candle in the Wind. The songs are solo recordings of Elton singing and playing the piano. Therefore, whoever owns the piano also gets a private concert. Only an extremely limited number - 30 pianos- will run in the first edition series, and no more than 50 pianos will ever be sold.
Elton John has a trusted and decade-long relationship with Yamaha Grand Pianos. “Elton is the quintessential crown jewel of the Yamaha artist family,” said Corporate Director of Artist Affairs, Chris Gero. “The new Elton John Signature Red Piano is our way of paying tribute to one of the greatest rock legends of all time. The Elton John Signature Red Piano will aim to embody the spirit and energy that is uniquely Elton.”
