Rim and Back Post
The top one percent of hand selected beech and mahogany are chosen to give the rim a warm, deep sound quality. State-of-the-art A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) technology reduces moisture content to give wood an aged character that suppresses damping for clean vibrations. An innovative joint method brings expertly seasoned woods together for smooth, resonant tone.
The Soundboard
Each soundboard is fashioned from the top one percent of European spruce. This strong, lightweight wood is hand selected for its ability to transform string vibrations into beautiful, resonant sound. The shape of the crown has been refined to add a deeper, more resonant mid-bass sound and the width, height and position of the sound ribs has been modified to increase dynamic range.
The Frame
Every CFX frame is sand casted at our custom frame factory in Iwata, Japan. Yamaha master metalsmiths have spent decades refining innovative designs for their unique ability to support the tension of the strings while resonating beautifully with the soundboard.
The Bridge
The bridge is handcrafted from the finest maple and has been reshaped in the mid treble register to increase effective string length, enhancing lower frequencies between the mid-treble and treble, optimizing balance across the entire register. The result is an extraordinary union of projection and richness in every note.

The Hammers
The highest quality German felt is hand-selected and individually shaped to impart an exceptional tone and rich palette of sounds with more depth and nuance in each note. To assure the fibers remain in their pristine, natural state, each piece of felt is carefully shaped and bound to the hammer at the optimum temperature using a specialized in-house process. This custom crafted hammer felt is paired with walnut for its natural ability to enhance the overall sound of the instrument.
The Action
Each part of the keyboard action has been refined to increase the connection between player and piano. The capstan screw, contact point between keyboard and action and roller material have all been reimagined to help provide a more responsive touch from delicate pianissimo to powerful fortissimo.
The Logo
Behind every Yamaha logo is a company devoted to sound for over a century. Innovators, artists and master craftsmen creating the world’s finest instruments. The CFX proudly displays this elegant brass logo on both the treble and bass sides of the piano.
