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.
TA2 TransAcoustic System
This model incorporates the up-to-date SH2 Silent System, meaning that you can practice without disturbing others, by using headphones. However, you may be tired of using headphones all the time, whenever you wish to practice, for instance late at night. With the TA2 TransAcoustic system you have full volume control over the piano without the need for headphones! How does it do that?
By utilizing two transducers which are strategically attached to the soundboard, it is possible to transmit the digital sound that would normally coming through the headphones through the natural wood of the soundboard itself, thus effectively using the soundboard as an amplifier. This means that you’re benefiting from the highly resonant qualities of the spruce wood whilst also being able to turn the volume up and down in the usual way. You can also play all the other voices (e.g. strings, organ, electric pianos), and similarly hear them all come from the piano itself.
In addition to this, even though the strings are not being struck in this mode, they are still resonating in sympathy with the vibrations of the soundboard (whenever the right pedal is being used), which further enriches the sound. You can even play audio files through the piano from your smart device via Bluetooth. Lastly the compatible Smart Pianist app gives you even more control over the instrument by allowing you, for example, to change the sound in terms of different venue reverberations, transpose, tuning and so on.
