When playing powerful fortissimo the force exerted on the instrument causes it to bend slightly, losing energy. 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. On the C3X for example, this back frame is approximately 20% thicker than on other pianos, providing significantly improved support, and reflecting the considerations on which the CX Series has been completely redesigned.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe new soundboard resonates with the emotions of the performer.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA violin is built around a beautiful body with three-dimensional swellings and a delicately curved shape, which is similar to the three dimensional concave design in a piano soundboard called the rown. The manufacture of this crown is pivotal to the crafting of any piano, and is thus of paramount importance to piano engineers in addressing the problem of how to transmit the vibrations of the strings from the soundboard into the surrounding air efficiently. Yamaha has taken experience accumulated through many years of crafting pianos and combined it with unsurpassed engineering ability to ensure that the soundboard always provides superb projection. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe resulting design capitalizes on physical phenomena unique to the craft of piano-making, to create a soundboard assembly with a structure that allows it to vibrate easily, something that would not have been possible without the deep understanding of the traditional art of piano crafting that goes hand-in-hand with Yamaha's experience and engineering know-how. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe same techniques developed for gluing the soundboard, ribs, and bridge in the CFX are used for the C3X and above - models which require a great deal of projection - and the process of installing the resulting soundboard assembly into the piano body has been investigated carefully. This has resulted in dramatically improved projection and the unprecedented response that performers demand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevolutionary new music wire offers beautiful sustain and harmony.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eIt is music wire that actually creates sound of a piano. While affected by its matching with the hammers, soundboard and body of the piano, music wire has a profound effect on the timbre and sustain of the instrument. The CX Series utilizes music wire that produces a rich sound with a full complexity of overtones in its middle and upper registers. Coupled with the support from a solid foundation, this gives CX Series pianos a rich, harmonic sound.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpertise in frame making shines through in robust quality.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe frame in a modern piano must be able to withstand a total string tension in excess of twenty tons; not only does the frame work together with the wooden body to support the string tension, but it has a profound effect on the instrument sound. Yamaha makes its own frames, relying on a method of casting referred to as the vacuum process, developed over many years to create some of the best piano frames in the world. During this time we have built up a storehouse of knowledge on factors such as the manner in which controlling the temperature and composition of casting, and even the coating used on the frame itself, affects the acoustic characteristics of the piano. This is a major reason that Yamaha is able to ensure reliable quality when crafting our pianos.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHammers based on those of the CFX Series.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eGreat hammers are essential to producing a beautifully expressive, malleable sound. Yamaha, unlike most other piano manufacturers, produces most of its own high-quality components, and is constantly looking for new ways to use the abilities developed through doing so to give our piano hammers tonality, resilience, and power. The CX Series has also benefitted from the results of this research and development, and utilizes the same felt as the CFX, adjusted to match the size of each instrument in the series. This ensures that all CX Series pianos possess a clear range of tonal colours and a nuanced, expressive sound.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVoicing and regulation breathes life into the piano.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003ePianos offer pianists only a limited amount of freedom; indeed, apart from the pedals, the pianist scope for expression is limited to the 10 mm travel of each of the 88 keys on the keyboard. Even so, the combination of the pedals with the speed and velocity applied to the keys produces a range of tonal changes so broad that they cannot be reproduced with current digital technology. This is the true soul of an acoustic instrument, allowing the pianist to obtain an incredible amount of expression from just 10 mm of key travel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThat is precisely why Yamaha devotes so much time voicing their pianos so that the intentions of the pianist are conveyed to the strings. In regulation, a craftsman adjusts the movement of the action so that it accurately transmits every nuance of the pianist touch. In voicing, the hammers, which cause the strings to emit sound, are pricked with a pick to create a balanced tone that will respond beautifully when played. Even today, in an era when technology continues to evolve rapidly, these tasks remain the domain of skilled craftsmen who must ensure the high quality of these instruments, and are the main reason that Yamaha has remained one of the top piano makers in the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA design that unifies piano with pianist, inheriting the legacy of the CF series.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eCX Series pianos feature a completely revamped design. Following in the footsteps of the CF Series concert grand, the CX Series design features simple, elegant lines, focusing on the characteristic legs of the piano in doing away with any excess ornamentation. This elegance is set off by a solid pedal box that allows performers to depress the pedals with as much power as they want, one aspect of a philosophy epitomizing \"functional design\" that allows pianists to become one with their instrument as they play. In order to provide the best playability possible, CX Series grand pianos offer white keys made of Ivorite™, which has a feel, color, and absorbency very similar to natural ivory, while natural ebony has been used for the black keys.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe peace of mind that comes with a Yamaha grand piano\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe CX Series is equipped with a lid prop stopper to prevent your fingers from being caught when the piano lid closes unexpectedly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe fallboard is fitted with a soft landing mechanism that means you no longer have to worry about the fallboard shutting on your fingers unexpectedly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eDimensions: Width 149cm (59\")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eHeight: 101cm (40\")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eDepth: 161cm (5'3\")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eWeight: 290kg (638lbs)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eNumber of keys: 88\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eWhite keys: Ivorite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eBlack keys: Natural ebony\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003ePedals: Damper, Sostenuto and Soft (Key shift)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eHammer type: CX Series Special\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eLid prop safety stop: Yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eLid\/fallboard locks: Yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eSoft-fall fallboard: Yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eFrame Type: V-Pro\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eBack Post Number: 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e To validate your extended guarantee you should register your new product at: \u003cstrong\u003ehttps:\/\/uk.yamaha.com\/register\u003c\/strong\u003e within 6 months of the purchase date.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eOnce your product is registered, you can download the guarantee extension certificate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe guarantee extension is only valid if the original purchase receipt is submitted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003etogether with the guarantee extension certificate at the time of any claim.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eGuarantee extended by 5 years for all acoustic piano parts (10 years in total from purchase date).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eGuarantee extended by 3 years for all electronic parts (5 years in total from purchase date).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53023743869194,"sku":"C1XPE","price":17499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/6371\/3802\/files\/Yamaha_C1X_Yamaha_Upgrade_1250_Offer.png?v=1790079511","url":"https:\/\/www.rimmersmusic.co.uk\/products\/yamaha-c1x-acoustic-grand-piano-polished-ebony","provider":"Rimmers Music Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
