Yamaha CX3 – 6’1_ Grand Piano Overview

Welcome to Popplers Music. My name is Josh. Let’s talk pianos.

Today, we are going to be taking a look at Yamaha’s C3X grand piano. The C3X compared to the GC2 or the GC series introduces more premium material in the process of making the piano, which results in more crisp clear sounds, more colors in the chords, a little bit lighter action and more nuance and control over the piano.

Here are some features of the C3X. The C3X is Yamaha’s most compact grand piano at 6’1. Some of the most timeless hits have been recorded on the Yamaha CX series piano. Now, this legendary piano has been refined with many of the innovations from Yamaha’s flagship CF handmade top-of-the-line series.

The back posts, soundboard, ribs, strings, and hammers have been redesigned for a more delicate attack, rich harmonies, infinite colors, and a beautiful resonance capable of long sustained pianissimo tones and nuanced expressive fortissimo.

In the process of refining a legend, the CX has redefined what a grand piano could be. As I mentioned, CX pianos have been redesigned with many of the innovations of Yamaha’s flagship CFX to give artists a more versatile tonal palette while still maintaining the bright percussive sound that has helped make C series pianos the most recorded in history.

The soundboard of the CX takes its cues from Yamaha’s flagship CFX. The finest spruce from Yamaha’s Kitami Mill in Hokkaido, Japan is delicately shaped by craftsmen to create the iconic CX series sound.

Like Yamaha’s flagship CFX, the back posts of the CX are crafted from the finest spruce and made thicker and more substantial to support the most powerful fortissimo.

Yamaha was the first company to use an advanced vacuum shield mold casting technology called V-Pro to create a stronger, lighter, more durable frame worthy of the grandest grand piano. Every CX frame is built to Yamaha’s exacting specifications at Yamaha’s Iwata Forge in Japan.

Yamaha took everything they learned from their flagship CFX and reinvented the hammers to create the iconic sound of the CX with even more range of tonal colors and nuance.

Yamaha artisans wind each bass string to work in harmony with the hammers, soundboard, and every part of this exceptional instrument.

CX pianos are expertly voiced and regulated by master technicians in Kitagawa, Japan to express every nuance.
