Yamaha C1X grand piano

Introducing the Yamaha C1X Grand Piano

The Yamaha C1 grand piano is a superb combination of compact proportions and rich, resonant tone. At 5'3", it offers an impressive depth and warmth of sound while remaining compact enough to sit comfortably in a domestic setting.

The C series underwent a major redesign in January 2013 with the introduction of the C1X. Featuring a redesigned soundboard crown, new string material and significantly refined hammers, the C1X delivered a notable enhancement in tonal quality, responsiveness and overall performance.

The C1 is an excellent choice for pianists of all levels, from beginners and intermediate players through to accomplished professionals. It is available in a range of attractive finishes, including polished ebony, polished mahogany, satin walnut, white and satin ebony.

The Yamaha C1 has long been a highly sought-after choice for those looking for a quality compact grand piano. We always keep the C1 in stock, fully prepared and ready to play at our Haslemere showroom, where you are welcome to experience its exceptional tone and feel for yourself.

Soundboard

Resonating with the emotions of the performer As with the CF Series, the CX Series utilizes unique crown manufacturing techniques resulting in dramatically improved projection and the unprecedented response that performers demand.

Revolutionary new music wire

The CX Series utilizes music wire that produces a rich sound with a full complexity of overtones in its middle and upper registers offering beautiful sustain and harmony. Coupled with the support from a solid foundation, this gives CX Series pianos a rich, harmonic sound.

Hammers based on those of the CFX Series

Yamaha, unlike most other piano manufacturers, produces most of its own high-quality components and the hammers used in the CX Series utilize the same felt as the CFX, giving these pianos bright tonal colours and finely nuanced sound.

Back posts

The part of the piano that accepts this force and transforms it into deep reverberation is called the back frame, which could be likened to the skeleton in a human body. CX Series pianos feature a thickened back frame for improved support, providing a rich, resonant tone.

Lid Prop Safety Stop

The CX Series is equipped with a lid prop stopper to prevent your fingers from being caught when the piano lid closes unexpectedly.

Soft-Close Fallboard

The fallboard is fitted with a soft-landing mechanism that means you no longer have to worry about the fallboard shutting on your fingers unexpectedly.
