What we think of the Yamaha C7XSH silent grand piano

The C7X is a wonderful larger concert instrument. This new model benefits from a brand new soundboard design and a new strings material. It also has a redesigned casework along with a thicker back frame for improved support. The C7 has real depth and power and is an extremely capable concert piano. The action is wonderfully balanced and has superb overall balance across the range. Adding the SH silent system makes the C7X a very versatile piano, perfect for the stage or studio.

When the new SH2 Silent System is activated a rail moves between the hammers and the strings to 'switch off' the acoustic piano. Highly sophisticated optical sensor technology then captures the detailed movements of each key and you can hear the beautiful sound of a Yamaha CFX or Bosendorfer Imperial concert grand piano through your headphones - play a real acoustic piano with headphones at any time, day or night without being disturbed or disturbing others!

The Yamaha CFX sample has Yamaha's acclaimed Binaural Sampling giving an incredibly 'acoustic' sound through headphones, like the piano is in front of you rather than right in your ears. Virtual Resonance Modelling technology borrowed from Yamaha's Clavinova range of digital pianos brings an unprecedented level of natural resonance making the digital sound virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. You can also play along with MIDI files, and use the USB audio recorder to record your performances as a CD ready file to your USB memory stick. Alternatively, using the iPad Piano Diary app you can upload your performances straight to YouTube or other social media sites. The possibilities are endless!
