TENORI-On White (TNR-W) has conquered the hearts and won the appreciation of the masses since its launch in 2007 but not without the drawback of being too pricy (retail price of $1,200) thus out-of-reach for the majority of its fans.
TENORI-On ‘Orange’ (TNR-O) is the fruit of the efforts of Yamaha to come out with a more pocket-friendly offer. Peter Peck from Yamaha explains that they have achieved the cost-cut through “removing the battery option and the back panel LED’s and changing the chassis construction from the magnesium found on the original to a more affordable material . So good news. Without sacrificing none from its quality and performance, TNR-O is as sleek as ever, this time coming with Orange LED and durable plastic frame.

It will be on market in Japan in December and is expected to cost less than $780.
