With perfectly weighted keyboard action, you can play with wonderful expression, creating the most beautifully nuanced notes. Even the slightest of touches is faithfully produced. Yamaha's grand keyboard is designed with ivorite. After years of extensive research and development, Yamaha have successfully created a material that supersedes the performance of ivory. Offering the pianist, a magnificent playing experience. Ivorite is the secret to the supreme and natural touch of the C1X. Meticulously crafted. The C1X is carefully designed with high precision components, to produce the most articulate sound. Responding with the utmost accuracy. The C1X is able to express the emotions and true intentions of the pianist. Voiced to produce a balanced tone, the piano responds beautifully when played. Trust in the C1X.

A legacy of outstanding craft

Power in your hands. The hygroscopic properties of the ivorite keys help absorb dampness from the fingertips as you play. Maintaining a consistent level of moisture and preventing the keys surface from becoming slippery. Ultimately, the absorbency of the key tops offer you absolute performance control. Without a doubt, Yamaha have transformed keyboard action. Giving you a platform to express yourself with the precision of the responsive C1X keys. Having devoted so much time to developing and voicing their pianos, the intentions of the pianist can be perfectly conveyed to the strings.

A sophisticated modern design

The evolution of the grand piano. After decades of crafting a legacy of outstanding acoustics, Yamaha’s expertise in frame making really shines through with robust quality. Using exclusive finishing technologies and outstanding woodworking techniques, Yamaha boasts in its all supreme polished cabinets. The high-gloss mirror finish provides a scratch-resistant coating with long-lasting gloss, that maintains the piano’s smooth surface over time. The C1X was simply made to last a life time.

The Silent System

With the Silent Mode you can play any day, at any time. The silent mode switches from the use of hammer action to the use of sensors that detect the movement of the keys and pedals, eliminating external sounds while reproducing authentic piano sounds in your Bluetooth headphones. With the Silent Mode, the digital reproduction of acoustic sound is created using carefully recorded samples. Immerse yourself in the music by engaging Silent Mode. With totally muted digital piano play, you can perform with headphones, without disturbing others or being disturbed yourself.
