The specialist’s opinion
The authentic Yamaha C1X is the result of a delicate marriage between heritage and innovations.
In addition to being sublime with impeccable finishes, the C1X sounds wonderful.
The Yamaha CX series always offers the best, with the certainty of a reliability validated by the greatest pianists. Indeed, the pianos of this series are the famous heirs of the Yamaha CFX concert grand piano, the ultimate Yamaha pianos.
With new hammers, new strings, new bracing, new soundboards, the tone of the CX series is richer, more powerful and deeper than ever.
The thickness of the beams of the dam has been increased to obtain a deep and reverberant sound, and to have even more force in the fortissimo.
The manufacture of the soundboard with a perfect curve is the most important factor in the manufacture of a piano. This adopts the same construction technique as on the famous CFX, resulting in a more luxurious sound and an improved response.
The strings have a profound effect on the tone and sustain of the instrument. The new Yamaha strings produce a rich tone with full complexity of harmonics in its middle and upper registers.
Yamaha makes its own frames, relying on a casting method called the “V-Pro System”, the first such technique in the world developed over many years to create some of the best piano frames.
The exclusive Ivorite and real ebony keyboard provides a very natural touch feeling, in order to offer the best possible playability.
This piano also benefits from the Soft-closeTM cylinder retarder system: A damper mechanism prevents the keyboard cylinder from falling suddenly and therefore eliminates any risk of injury or material damage.
As you can see, the Yamaha Pianos TransAcoustic C1X TA3 PE 161cm glossy black is a superior quality acoustic piano that offers a variety of musical expressions. It is the perfect piano for the most demanding pianists as well as music lovers who seek exceptional sound quality and a luxurious look.

All the advantages of the TransAcoustic system: Thanks to the possibility of amplifying the silent system directly on your piano’s soundboard, you can adjust the volume without having to wear headphones.
– Bluetooth Audio allows you to input sound from audio data saved on a Bluetooth device such as a smartphone, tablet or computer, on this instrument and through the piano’s built-in speaker. – The Bluetooth MIDI allows you the wireless connection between your piano and the SmartPianist application on a smartphone, a tablet or a computer. – The USB TO HOST input allows you to connect a computer or other digital devices and record yourself in high quality without adding other interfaces, – AUX OUT output allows you to output the signal to an external amplification (Hi-chain fi, recorder, amplified speakers, etc.). – The AUX IN input receives external sound sources. – The MIDI OUTPUT transmits the information of the game to an external device such as a synth. – The MIDI IN input receives the performance information like a sequencer to use the TransAcoustic tone generator.
Performances can be recorded in two different ways:
– Either you can record directly into the piano’s memory.
Using memory is more interesting when you want to listen to yourself directly. This allows you to work on a piece by listening to it and then repeating specific passages. – Or on a USB medium, in which case the stored data will be in WAV format readable by all digital devices. Once the songs have been recorded in WAV format, they can be written directly to CD or portable players.
