In the TransAcoustic piano Yamaha have designed an ingenious instrument that allows pianists to enjoy all of the convenience of Yamaha’s SILENT technology without a reliance on the less authentic speaker driven digital piano sound. Instead, when the TransAcoustic technology is engaged, transducers convert audio signals into vibrations, and then relay them to the soundboard of the piano. The soundboard amplifies the vibrations and the entire piano vibrates sympathetically, meaning the sound that reaches the ear is as rich as that of the acoustic piano.

For practicing in complete silence, the SILENT piano technology is built into every TransAcoustic piano, allowing for silent practice and playing on headphones. As with the SILENT pianos, the digital sample sound heard has been expertly recorded using Binaural Sampling and Grand Expression modelling, meaning even with headphones on the piano playing experience retains authenticity.

Enjoy the TransAcoustic piano even when you’re not playing it! By casting music from your smart device via the built in Bluetooth connectivity, you can transform your piano into a state of the art hifi system and enjoy your favourite recorded music through the resonance of the piano soundboard. When music is playing, you can also still play the piano at the same time, allowing for effective practice and maintaining of collaborative skills, which can often be lacking when piano is its nature a relatively unportable and solitary instrument.

A truly premium range of pianos from Yamaha, the CX series draws great influence from the design of Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand, combining the finest Japanese piano craftsmanship with the highest quality of materials sourced from around the world, to produce pianos of superior quality and exceptional refined performance.

A refinement on the classic “yamaha sound”, the CX series maintains the clarity for which Yamaha is famous, while gifting the performer with even more tonal colours with which to play, from warm and delicate pianissimo to bright and vibrant fortissimo.

At the heart of every Yamaha piano is the solid spruce wood soundboard, the timber for which is carefully source from all over the world by Yamaha’s four “timber scouts” - individuals whose sole task is to locate and acquire only the best quality of spruce wood fit for their pianos. Every soundboard for the CX series is laser cut to the most accurate of measurements to perfectly fit the subtle uniqueness of each piano rim, and with the ingenious method of attaching the ribs, is given a prominent curvature to achieve the maximum projection and dynamic range possible from each size of piano.

Yamaha consistently produces the most popular ranges of grand pianos in the world because of their extraordinary versatility of sound, making them the most present piano across all genres. They are the piano of choice for the world’s most prestigious Jazz venue (including Ronnie Scott’s and the Blue Note) and consistently selected by leading classical performers.
