The rich palette of tonal colors and musical voices that the piano can reproduce characterizes its beauty. The result was the CFX Concert Grand Piano, which embodies the concept of beauty and power. In 1991, Yamaha began its most ambitious piano project: to create a new generation grand piano for concerts, conservatories and studio performances. The CFX grand piano marks an important milestone in Yamaha’s famed 108-year history as a recognized world-class piano maker.
All aspects of this project – instrument, room, microphones and recording experience – work together to create the finest sampled piano ever recorded. This beautiful instrument is combined with the stunning acoustics of the legendary One Abbey Road Studios and the best collection of microphones in the world. Studios CFX places the user on a banquet in front of the incredible Yamaha CFX concert grand piano, characterized by a wide palette of tonal colors and the ability to create the most subtle, expressive nuances. We hosted the inspirational Yamaha CFX concert grand piano at Abbey Road Studio One, where award-winning engineers used the world’s best microphones and equipment to create an amazing virtual instrument library.
