Tone-Boosting Guitars

Yamaha's TransAcoustic Guitars Use Piano Technology For Improved Sound

— April 12, 2016 — Tech
Yamaha's brand new TransAcoustic range of guitars are designed to make it easier than ever for fingerstyle guitar players to infuse some extra energy and vitality into their performances. These guitars make use of technology originally designed for acoustic pianos.

The LL-TA and LS-TA guitars that form the TransAcoustic range feature a special actuator that happens to be situated on the inner surface of the guitar's rear. When the strings are plucked, the actuator vibrates, with vibrations shepherded by the body, resulting in natural reverb and chorus sounds.

One of the problems with playing acoustic guitar in certain settings such as bedrooms for example is that the tones can sound rather weak and lifeless, but this will no longer be a problem thanks to the TransAcoustic guitars.



Trend Themes
1. Transacoustic Guitars - Yamaha's TransAcoustic guitars utilize piano technology to enhance sound output and create natural reverb and chorus sounds.
2. Improved Guitar Tones - The TransAcoustic guitars address the issue of weak and lifeless tones in certain settings, providing a solution for musicians seeking enhanced sound quality.
3. Innovative Acoustic Guitar Technology - The use of special actuators in the TransAcoustic guitars represents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the acoustic guitar industry.
Industry Implications
1. Guitar Manufacturing - The TransAcoustic guitars present an opportunity for guitar manufacturers to incorporate piano technology and improve sound quality in acoustic guitar models.
2. Music Equipment Retail - The introduction of TransAcoustic guitars creates a potential market for retailers to cater to musicians looking for enhanced guitar tones and advanced acoustic technologies.
3. Live Music Performances - The TransAcoustic guitars offer musicians a new way to create captivating live performances with natural reverb and chorus effects, presenting an opportunity for the live music industry to benefit from this innovative technology.
