Yamaha Tenori-on Orange

New! Yamaha Tenori-On Orange, a more affordable version of the popular Tenori-On, with all the same features of the original model, apart from small changes that helped it to cost less!

The Tenori-On Orange comes in a white plastic frame, instead of Magnesium alloy body, with no screen at the back and orange LEDs, and doesn't run on batteries. Apart from these details, it's the very same instrument that found great popularity thanks to artists such as Bjork and Little Boots.

First debuted in London in the Winter of 2007 to unprecedented global press interest the amazing Yamaha Tenori-On has captured and fuelled the imagination of some of the world's most influential and creative experimental live and studio musicians, producers, and DJ's including Bjork, Ono Yoko Plastic band and new artists such as Little Boots. The instrument also naturally found it's way into many studios and now figures prominently and regularly at many of the world's major live music events.

The eye - catching and intriguing design had an immediate impact - offering people an intuitive and creative new way of bringing music production and performance together whilst enhancing the two activities in the process, a unique attribute. Since 2007 Tenori-On has also picked up numerous prestigious design awards thanks to it's addictive and brilliant interface and striking design. Recently it won a coveted place in New York's Museum of Modern Art.

But, as is often the case with new concepts, Tenori-On was admired and desired but often out of the reach of the millions of people who posted 'I want one' comments online - now the Tenori-On evolution continues as Yamaha unveil the eagerly awaited and more 'wallet friendly' addition to the Tenori-On family - The Tenori-On TNR-O 'Orange' .

The new Tenori-On 'Orange' offers the same levels of creative power as the original but has been made significantly more affordable. For example Yamaha have replaced the very cool but expensive magnesium casing of the original with a heavy duty and durable plastic casing .

All the same features and spec as the original apart from:

• No Magnesium alloy body – white plastic frame on this model
• Has orange LEDs instead of white LEDs
• No screen on the back of it – has the interface
• Does not run on batteries – mains only
