The Upgraded Yamaha MusicCast Platform Now Includes the Enspire Piano

— September 6, 2016 — Tech
The Yamaha MusicCast platform captured plenty of eyeballs during its release due to the fact that it allows users to utilize a whole range of compatible products as part of a flexible eco-system, but the latest and greatest iteration of the platform now welcomes a pleasantly surprising and innovative new member to the platform -- the Disklavier Enspire piano.

While it was assumed that Yamaha MusicCast would adhere to speakers and other similar gadgets, the fact that it will be able to communicate with the Disklavier Enspire piano via Bluetooth opens up a whole world of possibilities when it comes to connected technologies.
