The powerful sound of the famous CFX concert grand piano
Newly sampled for the YDP-144, Yamaha’s CFX 9′ concert grand piano offers sparkling highs and a powerful, resonant bass, all combined in a sound that projects to the confines of the largest concert halls. The CFX was played by the winner of the prestigious International Chopin Competition in 2010, and has since been recognized as one of the greatest concert pianists of modern times.
Authentic acoustic piano playing
With its 88 keys, the GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) reproduces the feel of an acoustic piano, from a heavy feel in the lower register to a lighter touch in the upper octaves.
