Exquisite sound of a Concert Grand woven into the Digital Piano
The CFX—Yamaha’s finest concert grand handpicked by the winner of the 2010 International Chopin Piano Competition—and the Imperial from Bösendorfer—a brand held in high esteem by pianists throughout its long history—are renowned pianos characterized by distinctive traits such as power, versatility, subtlety, lightness and mellowness. With this Clavinova, you can enjoy the exquisite beauty of the sought-after tone that the CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial deliver.

The Clavinova reproduces the Damper Resonance and deep reverberation of an acoustic piano utilizing features like String Resonance to emulate the mellow tonal color that occurs when strings react to one another. Tone Escapement in several locations throughout the body allows the sound from the speakers to be projected to the listener’s ears without being trapped inside the instrument. Acoustic Optimizer function regulates the flow of sound and control tone to ensure a balanced tone

Keyboard Features
The GH3X keyboard action accurately recreates the touch of an acoustic piano from the heavy feel in the lower register to the lighter touch in the upper octaves by utilizing the same hammering system and spring-less mechanism as a grand piano,. The three-sensor configuration accurately senses and interprets the behavior of the keyboard for a response and feels very similar to that of a grand piano.
Synthetic ivory keytops is a pleasure to play on and you never get tired of those. The volume as well as its dynamics can be altered to attain both mellow and bright tones by simply changing the pressure they apply to the keys. Yamaha Smooth Release technology provides the crisp tone heard when playing staccato as well as the lingering sound produced by releasing the keys more. Key-Off samples features actual recordings of subtle changes occur in the instrument’s tone as the damper is lowered onto the strings to mute its sound creating a perfect replica of the grand piano.
