Yamaha C7X Grand Piano

Description

Preserving tradition is not the same thing as refusing to change;rather, it is from the ongoing search for perfection that traditions emerge. And when it comes to the tradition of crafting a grand piano, there is a sound, a tone to which only those who strive constantly to outdo themselves can aspire. For almost half a century, Yamaha’s world-renowned C Series grand pianos have continued through a gradual process of refinement The CFX full concert grand piano built on the knowledge, techniques, and experience gained during this long period, with craftsmen pouring everything they knew into the creation of an instrument that took bold new steps in piano design, seeking to attain sonic perfection. The CX Series extends this work further, providing a clear sound with a clean attack, sparkling tone, and transparent harmonies, all encased in an elegant, flowing form.

Yamaha C7X Features

• Thickened Back Frame – Nearly 20% thicker than other pianos, the back frame of the Yamaha C7X supports the piano to allow the force of a fortissimo without losing the power of a deep reverberation.
• Updated Soundboard – The Yamaha CX series and Yamaha C7X (the largest piano in the CX series) soundboard transmits the vibrations of the strings from the soundboard into the surrounding air. Yamaha’s piano engineers have fine-tuned the CX soundboard to ensure superb projection and response.
• New Music Wire – The music wire of a piano creates the sound when played, and has a profound effect on the timbre and sustain of the instrument. The CX Series utilizes a new music wire that produces a rich sound with a full complexity of overtones in its middle and upper registers. This combined with its thicker back frame contributes to the Yamaha CX Series’ rich, harmonic sound.
• High-Quality Frame – Yamaha knows a piano frame will contribute to the acoustic characteristics of the piano while withstanding total string tension in excess of twenty tons. Yamaha makes its own grand piano frames using a casting method referred to as the “vacuum process” to provide the best piano frames in the world.
• Hammers based on the CFX Series – Great hammers are essential to producing a clear range of tonal colors and expressive sound. Unlike most other piano manufacturers, Yamaha produces most of its own high-quality components. The CX Series utilizes hammers from the CFX series, adjusted to match the size of each instrument in the series, ensure they provide each piano tonality, resilience, and power.
• Design based on the CF Series Concert Grand – The Yamaha C7X grand piano features simple, elegant lines focusing on the characteristic legs of the piano and doing away with excess ornamentation. The functional design and elegance is set off by a solid pedal box that allows performers to depress the pedals with as much power as they want.
