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!"

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.

You find yourself embraced in a richly
expressive sound with a beautifully
sustained resonance.
