The legacy of the CFX continues
Preserving tradition is not the same thing as refusing to change;rather, it is from the ongoing search for perfection that traditions emerge. And when it comes to the tradition of crafting a grand piano, there is a sound, a tone to which only those who strive constantly to outdo themselves can aspire. For almost half a century, Yamahas world-renowned C Series grand pianos have continued through a gradual process of refinement The CFX full concert grand piano built on the knowledge, techniques, and experience gained during this long period, with craftsmen pouring everything they knew into the creation of an instrument that took bold new steps in piano design, seeking to attain sonic perfection. The CX Series extends this work further, providing a clear sound with a clean attack, sparkling tone, and transparent harmonies, all encased in an elegant, flowing form.
The end result is a series of instruments that is refined in tone, yet bold in design, the product of a dedication to innovation that allows Yamaha to remain true to its musical heritage. CX Series pianos represent progress that is commensurate with Yamahas 125th anniversary year - progress that will transform any room in which you play into a concert hall.
Impressions:
“If you’re used to the Yamaha sound from the 80’s and 90’s, get ready for a whole different piano with Yamaha’s X series. The C3X now contains their warm and colorful concert felt combined with new and improved strings. The net result is a completely different piano. I found the C3X to have a “long key” feel which my perception tells me is balanced. The touch is firm, uniform, and has a nice crossover from bass to treble. The new cabinet has been simplified and more pointed. Great design.” ~ Glen Barkman
History:
In 1887 a watchmaker by the name of Torakusu Yamaha founded Japan’s first reed organ company. By 1899 he traveled to the USA to learn how to build pianos and started making grand and upright pianos under the name Nippon Gakki meaning “Japanese Musical Instrument”. These humble beginnings have developed into a multinational manufacturing operation with sales into the billions annually, a work force of nearly 20,000 and product lines ranging from motors to electronics to musical instruments.
