Living: WHALETONE: The song of the whales

Inspired by a dream he had about a whale, Robert Majkut created Whaletone, an elegant and modern digital piano designed with unique and advanced technology. 

Its curves were evoked from the movements of whales across the ocean as they sing their now famous musical notes and rhythms. The piano model, Roland, contains a built-in list of 500 sounds. The instrument generates real piano string sound thanks to the innovative technology of Super Natural Piano, containing three different types: Concert, Studio and Brilliant, all with 30 different variations to choose from, plus the sounds of electric generated by the technology of Super Natural with 10 kinds and 15 variations. A four-channel amplifier emits the powerful sound through the speakers. The PHA III Ivory Feel keyboard allows you to create variations of different sounds and tones programmed with vintage 1960 and 1980 models, while delivering the same experience felt when playing the ivory keyboard of a classic grand piano with all its subtleties and sound effects. Whaletone is made by hand, only upon request, allowing the user to customize the piece.

The buyer can choose the color of the piano—ranging from classic black and white to violet, orange or fuchsia—materials in finished matte, metallic, pearl or gloss with custom ornaments and trim. You can also choose additional accessories such as sound equipment configuration: CD player, software to add sound modules, LED display, internal sound processor with equalizer, among many other preferences. Each model has an individual number engraved on a plaque with the owner’s name or a dedication. A percentage of profits from sales of Whaletone will be donated to organizations that protect the whales. This piano is just like the dream of Majkut: unforgettable.
