The Yamaha C5X Grand Piano in Polished Ebony is a high-performance, handcrafted acoustic grand piano from Yamaha’s CX series. At 6′ 7″ (200cm), it is a conservatory-level instrument that balances powerful projection with a rich, expressive tone. The CX series, which debuted around 2012, integrates advanced features and design elements from Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand pianos.
Features
- Design based on the CFX: The C5X inherits design elements and technologies from Yamaha’s CFX full concert grand piano, including a thicker back frame for superior support and a redesigned soundboard for rich, resonant tone.
- Enhanced resonance: The soundboard is crafted from finely aged European spruce and features a carefully designed crown to maximize sound projection. The back posts are also thickened to handle the energy from powerful playing without sacrificing tone.
- High-quality components: The piano is constructed with premium materials, including newly developed music wire for longer sustain and rich overtones. The hammers are based on those used in the CFX series, but are adjusted for the C5X’s size to ensure accurate and nuanced expression.
- Elegant construction: The C5X features a simple, elegant design with clean lines and a functional pedal box. The polished ebony finish provides a classic aesthetic.
- Precise action and keys: The keys are made from seasoned spruce and feature Ivorite™ and wood composite keytops for an excellent touch and feel. The action is regulated by master technicians to respond to the most subtle changes in a pianist’s touch.
- V-Pro Frame: Yamaha’s advanced Vacuum Shield Mold process (V-Pro) is used to create a strong, durable, and lighter frame that withstands extreme string tension.
