#GARRITAN ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS CFX LITE FULL#
With enough tonal presence to be heard over the sound of a full symphony orchestra in the largest of concert halls, the CFX is truly one of the greatest pianos ever created.Ībbey Road Studios is the most famous recording studios in the world and a global music icon. It offers outstanding expressiveness for a truly musical performance. All materials are meticulously selected and refined to ensure unprecedented music performance in the most demanding of situations. Once the design was nearing completion, multiple prototypes endured thousands of hours of secret testing at concert halls across the globe.Įach CFX is entirely hand-built by a small team comprising some of the world’s most experienced and skilled craftsmen. Every aspect of traditional piano design was questioned, evaluated, improved and relentlessly tested. During this time, a 40-strong team of the world’s most talented piano designers, technicians, craftsmen and, of course, pianists deconstructed the concert grand and began rebuilding it from the ground up.
The development and evaluation phase of this remarkable instrument took almost 20 years. The power comes from the CFX’s unprecedented tonal projection. The rich palette of tonal colors and musical voices the piano can produce characterizes its beauty. The result was the CFX Concert Grand Piano, a revolutionary new instrument that embodies the concept of beauty and power. In 1991, Yamaha began its most ambitious piano project ever: to create a new generation of grand piano for concert, conservatoire and studio performance. The CFX piano marks a significant milestone in Yamaha’s celebrated 108-year history as an acclaimed world-class piano maker. Experience the passion reflected in every detail.
