Key Features

  • Acoustic and SILENT Mode Functionality: At its core, the Yamaha C1X SH3 SILENT Piano offers the authentic experience of a grand acoustic piano, while featuring the capability to switch to SILENT Mode—where headphone use allows for playing without disturbing others, which is crucial for practicing at any time without constraints.
  • Articulation Sensor System: This advanced sensor system captures the nuanced movements of the pianist's fingers, ensuring the digital tone generator in SILENT Mode reproduces the sounds with the same intention and expressivity as the acoustic mode, which is key to maintaining the natural feel of the piano.
  • Grand Expression Modeling: When in SILENT Mode, this feature simulates the physical behavior of acoustic pianos, allowing for real-time tonal variations responding to touch and preserving the expressive capability of the pianist, which is essential for dynamic performance.
  • Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM): VRM technology enhances playing in SILENT Mode by simulating the sympathetic resonance of a grand piano, offering a rich and full sound experience that encourages expressive playing.
  • Yamaha and Bösendorfer Voices: The inclusion of high-quality samples from acclaimed concert grand pianos, including Yamaha's CFX and Bösendorfer's Imperial, adds to the versatility and richness of sound that the pianist can enjoy in SILENT Mode, which expands the pianist's creative palette.
  • Binaural Sampling for Headphones: This technology provides a three-dimensional sound experience in SILENT Mode through headphones, making extended play sessions comfortable and natural, which enhances the user experience, especially during private practice.
  • Quick Escape System: Ensures that the piano action is optimized whether in acoustic or SILENT Mode, preserving the touch and responsiveness of the grand piano, which is vital for player comfort and control.
  • Rhythm Accompaniments: With 20 different built-in rhythm accompaniments, the pianist can add layers of drums and bass to their play, making practice sessions more engaging and enjoyable.
  • Integrated Recording Functions: The ability to record performances onto a USB flash drive or internally is a convenient feature for self-assessment, compositional purposes, or sharing performances, broadening the piano's utility for musicians.
  • Wireless Connectivity with Smart Pianist App: By connecting the piano to the Smart Pianist app via Bluetooth MIDI, users can access intuitive controls and additional features, which enhances user interaction and ease of use.
