CX Series
Yamaha’s CX or Conservatory Series pianos, feature a European spruce soundboard crowned using CF-Series technology. Like the SX-Series, Yamaha’s CX-Series pianos receive the “GPX” soundboard design. It’s as if Yamaha devised a way to scientifically scan, treat, shape and cut the soundboards for each piano to optimize maximum resonance and consistency. These soundboards are handled in a more streamlined production process at Kitami (located in Hokkaido, Japan). Yamaha CX-Series pianos also feature a thicker rim for added stability and bracing, German music wire for that unique “Yamaha Concert Series” sound, a true sostenuto pedal, and a soft-close fallboard. CX-Series Yamaha pianos also receive enhanced voicing, regulating, and tuning by very skilled Yamaha craftsmen as well as some changes in cabinet design from earlier the Conservatory models. The bridges used in Yamaha CX-Series pianos are vertically laminated and have a maple or boxwood cap. This gives the bridges greater strength and resistance to cracking, as well as better tonal transmission. All CX-Series grands have keytops made of Ivorite™, which simulate the texture and properties of ivory. CX-Series grands include the C1X, C2X, C3X, C5X, C6X and C7X models.
