Detailed Description
The smallest piano in the CX range, the C1X is a compact instrument perfect for living spaces, and makes a viable alternative to higher-end uprights. In spite of its size, and due to its high-quality parts and craftsmanship, the C1X is characterised by a wide tonal and dynamic range that combines fullness of sound with great clarity.
It offers many advantages over its predecessor, the C1, such as its use of premium hammer felt – the same which is used in the CFX – improved strings, and thickened back frame, and the attention to detail with regard to its regulation, voicing and initial tunings ensures that this is a piano that responds brilliantly to any level of pianist and any style of music.

SH2 Silent System
With Yamaha’s SH2 Silent System you not only have one of the most popular and highly-regarded grand pianos on the market, but also one that gives you the option of practising without disturbing others. It does this by activating a rail which stops the hammers from travelling all the way up to the strings. You therefore benefit from the normal weight and feel of the hammer action but without creating any acoustic sound.
Instead, optical sensors – located under the keys – detect all the various nuances of your playing and convert this into sound that has been sampled from Yamaha’s CFX Concert Grand piano through the included headphones, and you also have the option of hearing Bösendorfer’s Imperial Concert Grand (along with 18 other instruments). In the case of the CFX, the sound has been sampled binaurally, which gives you the most authentic, acoustic-sounding sample available. And Yamaha’s Virtual Resonance Modelling further replicates all of the natural resonance that acoustic instruments are capable of.
