Freehold Music Center has been selling Yamaha grands since long before the CX existed, and the CX is the line we point serious players toward when they are ready to commit. It is the most recorded grand piano family in the world, rebuilt around the flagship CFX concert grand. Across the showroom you can stand at every size from the 5’3″ C1X to the 7’6″ C7X and hear the difference length makes: longer bass strings, a larger spruce soundboard from Yamaha’s Kitami Mill, and the projection that turns a room into a stage. All of them share the V-Pro cast frame, reinforced back posts, and hammers built from the same felt as the CFX, then voiced and regulated by Yamaha’s master technicians in Kakegawa, Japan. The C3X is the one most players settle on, the size where Yamaha brings in the full CFX crown and bracing design, and it has earned its place in homes and conservatories worldwide. Come play the range side by side and the right one tends to choose you.
A CX Disklavier is the same acoustic grand on our floor, fitted at the Yamaha factory with the ENSPIRE reproducing system, so the keys and pedals move on their own and the actual strings sound, no speakers imitating a piano. On the 5’3″ DC1X and 5’8″ DC2X that system is ENSPIRE ST, which records and plays back your performances, includes silent headphone practice, and reads your touch across 128 levels. Step up to the 6’1″ DC3X and larger and you get ENSPIRE PRO, Yamaha’s top-resolution system, capturing 1,024 levels of key velocity and 256 increments of pedaling for reproduction that holds nothing back. Every one arrives with 500 built-in songs, thousands more through Yamaha MusicSoft, DisklavierRadio, and control from your phone or tablet. Families buy these to fill the house with live piano on command, and serious students use the recording side to hear their own playing back honestly.
