I am proud to introduce a completely new series of top-of-the-line concert grand pianos, The CF Series.
The concept behind the series is “Beauty & Power”. “Beauty” signifies the rich palette of tonal colours and musical voices the pianos can produce, while “Power” refers to their unprecedented tonal projection. The CF Series pianos offer outstanding expressiveness for truly musical performance coupled with enough tonal presence to be heard over the sound of a full symphony orchestra; and in the largest of concert halls.
They are the culmination of 19 years of research and development in partnership with some of the world's greatest musicians, and we have been continually testing prototypes in concerts, festivals, and piano competitions around the world.
The inspiration, talent, and experience of many of the world's greatest pianists guided our design team, and all who participated in the project were devoted to a single mutual goal; to develop a superior piano.
Using Yamaha's international network of Artist Services facilities, The CF Series design was fine tuned in secret evaluation sessions in Paris, New York, Tokyo, and other musical capitals. In large concert halls, prototype pianos were compared with the best our competition had to offer. Not to imitate them, but rather to learn how to build a piano which goes beyond existing instruments, and offers musicians almost unimaginable artistic possibilities.
