Description
Yamaha C5X Features
- Thickened Back Frame – The Yamaha CX Series, including the Yamaha C5X, features a thickened back frame that is nearly 20% thicker than most standard piano designs. The thicker back frame prevents bending during powerful performance to accommodate the force of a fortissimo without losing any of the deep, robust tone.
- Updated Soundboard – The soundboard is responsible for transmitting vibrations from the piano strings into the surrounding airs. When Yamaha engineers fine-tuned the Yamaha CX Series soundboard, they designed a component that would further perfect the Yamaha sound, projection, and response.
- New Music Wire – The music wires of a piano create the sound of an instrument. The Yamaha C5X features new music wires that produce purer, richer sounds with a robust complexity of overtones and basses. These strings combined with the thick back frame produce a rich, full, and harmonic voice of the piano.
- High-Quality Frame – A high-quality piano frame must withstand total string tension in excess of twenty tons for the life of the piano. It also contributes to the acoustic characteristics of the instrument. Yamaha produces and engineers the frames for its grand pianos to provide the highest quality grand piano frame possible.
- Hammers based on the CFX Series – Unlike most piano manufacturers, Yamaha chooses to produce many of its own high-quality components, including its piano hammers. The Yamaha C5X grand piano utilizes hammers from the CFX concert piano, adjusted for the smaller piano size, to ensure the highest quality piano tonality, resilience, and power.
- Design based on the CF Series Concert Grand – Yamaha’s CX series is among Yamaha’s most modern series, featuring simple lines and unadorned elegance. This design is functional and modern.
