Yamaha C7X grand piano in polished ebony

The Yamaha C7X is the top of the range CX series instrument, and is a perfect choice for the larger school hall or concert venue, and have been selected by prestigious recording studios. Previously known as the C7, C7L and C7M, the C7X offers an enhanced design with a thicker backframe for improved resonance, a specially designed shape of soundboard crown for optimum projection and European stringing wire. Second only to a concert grand, the C7X is an instrument of sublime beauty and with clean, modern lines and a such refinements as a soft closing keyboard fall, is a stunning addition to the concert stage, school auditorium or larger domestic home.

Like most Yamaha instruments, the GC1M is also available as a silent piano. With a flick of a switch, this system stops the hammers from hitting the strings and engages sensors under the keyboard to trigger wonderful concert piano samples which can be heard through headphones. This is particularly useful in practice situations where pianists might disturb family or neighbours, but the silent piano module is also USB compatible making it invaluable in the studio and opening up all sorts of interesting features when paired with software and apps. It also allows for easy amplification of the instrument without the need for trained sound technicians and carefully positioned microphones - simply plug it in!
