For more than a century Yamaha has been building grand pianos, continuously perfecting both skills and designs in the pursuit of musical excellence. During the nineteen years following the launch of the very successful CFIIIS concert grand pianos, Yamaha used their unique blend traditional craftsmanship coupled with high tech engineering expertise to analyze virtually every element of the piano and to discover how each detail affects the sound. Developed together with some of the greatest pianists the world has ever seen, the CF Series represents a pinnacle in the evolution of concert grand pianos.
The nine foot CFX is a full sized concert grand piano characterized by a wide palette of tonal colors and the ability to create the most subtle expressive nuances. It can “sing” phrases with a depth of expressiveness rarely heard. The CFX has a powerful bass and all registers can project over the sound of a symphony orchestra, even in very large halls.
The seven foot long CF6 sounds almost like a full length concert grand with its rich open sound, and its action is quick and responsive. All the CF Series pianos are characterized by a wide spectrum of tonal colors and being able to create the most expressive phrases. The CF6 is an outstanding choice for even large size recital halls.
The compact six foot three length of the CF4 will fit in a recital hall or teaching studio, but has a surprisingly big sound. It has the same tonal characteristics as the CFX, and is handmade of the same materials, and by the same artisans. The CF4 is a very expressive instrument, and is an excellent choice for salon concerts in venues too small for a full sized concert grand.
The S Series are handcrafted from the finest materials in the Handmade Workshop. Incorporating many qualities of the top line CF series they offer concert quality for demanding pianists.
Superbly handcrafted instruments of singular eloquence, S Series pianos are individually assembled in Yamaha’s Handmade Workshop. The S6's classic 7 foot size, together with its very responsive action and wonderful, concert-quality sound make it a favorite with discerning professionals.
The 6 foot 3 inch S4 has a beautiful sound and its expressive capabilities make it ideal for either salon concerts or a teaching studio. Superbly handcrafted instruments of singular eloquence, S Series pianos are individually assembled in Yamaha’s Handmade Workshop.
