Despite sharing the same action, the C5X is a substantial leap in quality from the popular C3X model, with the extended string length, superior soundboard size, and unique design of bass bridge giving the piano a far greater dynamic range and extra power in the bass.

What is a SILENT piano?

What is a SILENT piano?

The Yamaha SILENT piano is a feature that is fully integrated into an acoustic piano. By shifting the middle pedal, a mechanism called the “hammer shank stopper” is moved into place, stopping the hammer a few millimetres short of striking the string, thus muting the acoustic sound of the piano. The player can now hear themselves playing through headphones in superb digital reproduction. The skillfully designed sensor system captures and reproduces the subtlest of dynamics with stunning realism, all without affecting the acoustic touch of the piano in any way, granting you the convenience of a digital piano without sacrificing the authentic touch of a real acoustic.

Through techniques such as Virtual Resonance Modelling and most of all Binaural Sampling, the digital piano samples found in SILENT pianos have been recorded in such a way that when heard through headphones give the authentic feeling that you are sitting in front of a grand piano. This makes the experience of playing with headphones in front of an acoustic piano far more natural that one might first expect!

Play and compose in any genre by exploring the 25 sounds available in the SILENT piano, including electric pianos, harpsichord, organ and strings.

Now equipped with wireless Bluetooth, the SILENT piano can be connected wirelessly to the Yamaha Smart Pianist app, making navigation through the piano's features even easier via a smart device. The Midi and Line Outs also available, mean that the piano has all connectivity necessary for plugging into teaching apps, audio interfaces and notation software, making it the ultimate recording and compositional tool.

CX Series Key Features

CX Series Key Features

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.

Available in a great range of sizes and design, from the 161cm baby grand C1X to the 227cm C7X, the CX series offers pianos to suit any environment or purpose, from home practice pianos through to pianos capable of filling large concert halls.

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.

The fluidity and responsiveness of the Yamaha action is a guarantee on which they have built their reputation, and the CX series delivers on this promise and more. Based heavily on the design of the CFX hammer, the recipe of hammer felt contributes greatly to the versatile tonal colours found in each piano, while the uniquely shaped hammer shank allows for flexing in the timber, causing the hammer to whip when playing with fortissimo, giving extra bite to the sound, most prominent in the bass.

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.

The newly designed piano wire specifically for the CX series gives great purity to the sound while producing complex overtones across the entire register, adding to the overall immersive experience.

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.
