INSPIRATION HAS A NEW SOUND
The high-end SX Series features luxurious, powerful sound that belies its size. Yamaha's unique Acoustic Resonance Enhancement technology and various innovations, such as newly designed hammers, work with traditional craftsmanship for greater tonal range and a sound with profound depth and warmth-stimulating the most demanding performers and responding to their refined artistry.
"For me, the experience of playing the Yamaha SX falls into the category of "rewardingly effortless and limitless", inviting my imagination to dream big and delivering on its promise at every step. SX is simply sublime!"
ANDREA KELLER
Australian pianist and composer
Features
CROWN SOUNDBOARD
SX Series soundboards share the same DNA as our world-renowned flagship CFX. The soundboards and ribs are crafted from hand-selected European Spruce to deliver warm over tones and a wide range of colours.
A.R.E.
Yamaha's Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) is the latest leap forward in the evolution of piano craftsmanship. It's an original treatment process that we use to season the rims used in SX Series pianos. As well as reducing the moisture content in the wooden rims, A.R.E. induces chemical changes that occur when young wood is aged under optimal conditions.
REINFORCED BACK BEAM
Compared to the forerunner S Series pianos, the back frame beams on the SX Series are around 20% thicker. The extra support they provide results in a more rigid body and less unwanted vibration. The SX Series is built from the bottom up to provide a solid and stable foundation that supports authentic musicality.
EXPRESSIVE HAMMER
The SX Series employs exclusive hammer felt made with a newly developed formula. The superb elasticity of this hammer felt allows the player to achieve clear and beautiful tonal colors, along with well-balanced density across the full range from bass to treble. As a player, you'll relish the artistic freedom and expressive nuance offered by the SX Series.
HAND-WOUND BASS STRINGS
As they wind pure copper around the core steel string, Yamaha craftsmen must delicately adjust the balance and tension of the strings. Those hand-winding piano strings are pliable and they bring overtones in better harmony with fundamental frequencies. Creates beautifully resonant sound with satisfying overtones.
VOICED, REGULATED, & TUNED BY MASTER TECHNICIANS
You find yourself embraced in a richly expressive sound with a beautifully sustained resonance.
