The Yamaha C1X grand piano is the Benjamin of the highly regarded Yamaha C-Series grand pianos. The legendary Yamaha CFX concert grand is the basis for the current C-Series grand pianos. It is characterized by a clear sound with a clean touch, accompanied by sparkling tones and transparent harmonies. It is not for nothing that a Yamaha grand piano is a welcome guest in concert halls, theaters and conservatories. Yamaha has been manufacturing its C grand pianos for more than half a century, and preserving tradition is not synonymous with refusing to change. The search for perfection continues to evolve step by step, resulting today in a range of instruments with an extremely refined yet powerful sound. With a depth of 161 centimeters, the C1X is the most compact grand piano. Ideal for placement in slightly smaller rooms such as living rooms and small halls.

The origins of Yamaha grand pianos go back to 1902, when Yamaha produced its first grand piano. Starting in 1950, the first C grand piano was developed and from there a tradition was established. In over half a century, the wings have gradually undergone refinement and optimization resulting in the current CX series. Maintaining tradition in this regard is not the same as refusing to change. A constant search for perfection leads to knowledge, techniques and experience that form the basis for the pure sparkling tone and fine playing character of the CX models that transform any room into a concert hall.

About technology

A wing consists of many parts and thousands of components. Describing all the parts and connections piece by piece is impossible but we would like to share some unique points about the CX series. A first point that is an important factor in achieving rich sounds is the support of the instrument. The frame provides stability and takes power and converts it into reverb when pressure is applied to the instrument. By making the frame about 20% thicker than usual, the support improves significantly. This innovation is the first reflection of the newly designed CX series.

The heart of a piano or grand piano is the soundboard which is set in motion by vibration of the strings and generates the sound. Yamaha has an unsurpassed technical ability to ensure that the soundboard always provides excellent projection. Only the finest materials are used in the soundboard assembly and the techniques result in optimal resonance.

The strings are an important part in the creation of the sound. Obviously this is influenced by the tuning with the hammerheads, the soundboard and the construction of the piano but the strings have a profound effect on the timbre and sustain of the grand piano. The CX grand pianos use specially designed strings that produce a rich sound with sparkling high registers and deep-sounding basses where the end result is a solid harmonic sound. Important here are the hammerheads, which unlike many piano builders Yamaha manufactures entirely in-house, leading to improved tonality, springiness and power.

The Yamaha SH3 silent systeem 

The Yamaha SH3 Silent system is the latest generation of electronics that Yamaha uses in its acoustic pianos. Like its predecessor, the system features two world-renowned concert grand pianos, the Yamaha CFX and the Bosendorfer Imperial. Yamaha's flagship model, the CFX, stands out thanks to a wide range of timbres, from a crisp discant to a full bass. The Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand piano is world-renowned for its sonorous, rich, "Viennese sound. In addition to the acoustic piano sounds, the system features 10 other timbres, including: electric pianos, harpsichords, organs, string orchestra, choir and synth pad. The sensor system has undergone a major upgrade, making the registration of key impressions even more accurate.

A good addition is that the SH3 system is now equipped with Bluetooth. This makes it possible to play music wirelessly over the system via your smartphone or tablet. Another awesome feature is the wireless connection to the Smart Pianist App, which allows innovative control of the piano. It is easy to select and edit sound settings, but features such as recording and a teaching method are also available.

Not for nothing is a Yamaha grand piano often seen in concert halls, theaters and conservatories.

Transacoustic

The third generation of Transacoustic pianos combines the worlds of an acoustic and digital piano even more than ever before. A transacoustic piano is basically a regular piano on which, of course, fully acoustic playing is possible. So you can fully enjoy the pure acoustic sounds of Yamaha's high-quality pianos. Furthermore, the piano is equipped with numerous digital features that allow the piano to be used in Silent mode and in Hybrid mode.

Hybride modus

In hybrid mode, a Transacoustic piano combines digital sounds with the acoustic elements of the piano. It is possible both to mute the piano acoustically so that the hammers no longer touch the strings as well as to actually use the piano acoustically to enhance the digital sounds. The digital system uses the improved basic sounds from the world-famous Yamaha CFX grand piano and the legendary Bosendörfer Imperial grand piano, which are recorded key by key at the highest quality. These recordings have been processed into the current latest samples that the Transacoustic system brings to life via specially designed transducers. If the acoustic sound is muted then this system becomes unique, as the digital sound is still amplified by acoustic elements such as the vibration of the vocal floor and string resonances. This makes it possible to play the piano at a lower volume while maintaining a lifelike sound character. What is also possible, for example, is to play other sounds such as a Fender Roads with amplification of the acoustic elements leading to very cool combinations. Another crazy option is to play purely acoustic piano where the piano is not muted and this can be further digitally supplemented with, for example, a string orchestra.

Silent modus

A Yamaha Transacoustic can also be played in silent mode. The acoustic part is blocked and the digital sound can be played over headphones. Ideal if, for example, one family member wants to watch television and another wants to play the piano. With the headphones on, you are completely absorbed into the piano because of the binaural technology. This technology ensures that the experience is exactly the same as if you were sitting behind the piano and is therefore unlike the normal left-right reproduction of headphones. Playing for hours and having fun behind the piano without disturbing anyone, that is possible with a Transacoustic!

Playing feeling

The playing feel of the Transacoustic is breathtaking in every mode. In fact, for the first time, all sensors are completely non-contact, which means that the digital technology has no negative influences whatsoever on the acoustic playing character of the piano. Thus, acoustic is really acoustic without compromise. In silent mode, the feeling of an acoustic action remains except that the hammer no longer physically touches the string. The technology is such that the stopping of the hammer happens very subtly so that as a player you do not notice this. The digital sound is generated by digital sensors, placed for the first time under the keys, at the hammers and at the pedals. This makes the registration of your playing even more precise allowing for even more expressive playing.

App

For the first time, the third-generation Transacoustic can connect wirelessly to your smart device via Bluetooth midi connectivity. The comprehensive Smart Pianist app gives numerous options for selecting or editing different sounds. Various built-in features such as songs, a teaching method and even a rhythm section are available. In addition to Bluetooth midi, the piano also features Bluetooth audio, which allows you to play music wirelessly over the piano. Through the special transducers, the Transacoustic piano can be used as a high-quality speaker to listen to music through.
