The Grand Piano Encounter Route: Experience Rich Piano Sound and Resonance

The opportunity to play several different grand pianos in one location is rare, even for the most avid music lovers. This route lets you experience the sound and playing feel of different pianos by actually playing the grand pianos that represent Yamaha. The formidable lineup of eight pianos includes the CFX, the renowned full concert grand featured in the Chopin Competition and on other glittering stages. Try the GB1K, the compact grand that delivers a depth of resonance yet fits in any living room. Move to the History Walk section to play the CFIIIS, the full concert grand famously played by the great Sviatoslav Richter on his last visit to Japan.

No tour of world-class pianos is complete without Yamaha’s flagship model and the crown jewel of full concert grand pianos: the CFX. The famed instrument fills huge concert halls with the entire range of dynamics and expression. The clean, sharp initial sound attuned to the subtlest differences in articulation melts into a bright, clear tone that enriches all who hear it. The uncompromising techniques of the master technicians shine in the jet-black finish and beautiful array of strings. We hope you’ll take this opportunity to enjoy the unique appeal of grand pianos that are loved by top artists.
