The Backstreet Boys will tour North America and Europe through November. Since their introduction in 1997, the quintet has broken music and concert sales records the world over, moving more than 73 million albums (30 million in America).
Incorporating the peerless Yamaha grand piano keyboard and action mechanism, the DGT7A offers a solid, natural touch and expressive control far superior to that of most digital pianos. Optical key and hammer sensors capture the subtlest nuances of expression, without mechanical interference, while pedal sensors register foot control as well.
Yamaha has the proud distinction of managing more artist relationships than any other musical manufacturer in the world. Working with more than 3,500 musicians, these artists range in popularity from the mega superstar to the budding talent just starting a career. These musicians shine across the spectrum of musical genres and their abilities are as unique as the vast and wonderful Yamaha product line.
