Hi Bill
Thanks for that! I'm a fan of Elton and I had the honour of tuning his white Yamaha Grand when he came to the North of England on his UK tour. I was given free tickets for the show, as well as my fee, but I didn't meet him. (I didn't expect to!) He and his band were so good! I didn't know about his Las Vegas show, so I'm going to my nearest cinema to see it!
Thanks again!

Good afternoon Disklavier folks,
Elton John has played Yamaha Pianos for many years. He travels with several
9’ CFIIIS Silent Pianos around the world. For a number of years Elton
performed in Las Vegas on a very red 9’ Disklavier Grand piano in a show
called *The Red Piano*. During these many years I have had the pleasure to
work with Elton and his organization a number of times. The highlight of my
work with Elton was with the set up and prep of the most amazing piano
Yamaha has ever made for Elton - *The Million Dollar Piano.*
This CFIIIS Silent piano is a one-of-a-kind engineering marvel featuring
more than 68 LED video screens, which display imagery to complement each of
the show's iconic songs. The piano weighs in at nearly 3,200 pounds and is
the brainchild of Elton and Yamaha Entertainment Group founder Chris Gero
and was designed by Yamaha industrial designer Akie Hinokio. If you have a
chance to see this show in Las Vegas, I recommend that you go see it. If
you are not able to see the actual live show, you have a couple of
opportunities to see the show when *Elton John: The Million Dollar Piano* comes
to a cinema near you!
Produced and Directed in 2012 by Yamaha Entertainment Group, this VIP Las
Vegas cinema experience features all of Elton's greatest hits from his
legendary career including "Rocket Man," "Tiny Dancer," "Your Song" and
more. This will be shown in theaters across the United States on March
18thand March 26th. For much more information, visit:

The Million Dollar Piano is an amazing piano, played by Elton, in an
incredible show. Make sure you see it. Don’t let this opportunity pass you
by!

Donal,
No, he won't be traveling with the Million Dollar Piano. It is too heavy and a very difficult piano to move with the way the piano sits on, and is attached to, the two plexiglass prisms that each weigh 100s of pounds...
