Only at Akihabara GOODMAN: Opening Yumi Hara Neovichord solo 
Neovichord is electric clavichord developped by Isoharu Nishiguchi, Professor Emeritus of Kanagawa Institute of Technology and Kiyohiko Yamaya, CEO of YAMAHIKO/ Sonaresearch. Clavichord is the only acoustic keyboard instrument which can produce 'after-touch' such as vibrato and bending, but it is extremely quiet and difficult to mic-up, so Yumi has never used it for live performance even though she uses for recordings often. Neovichord made her possible to use clavichord sound for live performance.
