Yamaha’s Flagship CF Series is the culmination of nearly two decades of research and development to create the world’s finest concert grand piano. The CF is the rare union of clarity of tone and power that pianists crave. Each piano is crafted entirely by hand for a precise response that brings depth, nuance and an endless range of colors to the player’s tonal palette. It is simply a superb instrument and a work of art.

THE FINEST OF THE FINEST WOOD

A row of milled boards unassembled and unfinished.

Yamaha craftsmen hand-select the top one percent of wood from around the world at our Kitami Mill in Hokkaido, Japan. The inherent resonance of these woods, from European Spruce in the soundboard and ribs to mahogany and maple in the rims, helps give CF pianos their huge, well-rounded sound and extraordinary range of colors.

 

HANDCRAFTED BY MASTER BUILDERS

The CF soundboards, ribs, back posts and rims are crafted and assembled by hand in our Concert Piano Workshop in Kakegawa, Japan to assure that nothing gets in the way of the clear, rich vibrations of the wood.

 

A CASE FOR RESONANCE

The innovative shape and thickness of the back beam and posts help give CF pianos the backbone and power to fill the world’s most famous concert halls with warm, nuanced sound.

 

HAND-MODELED, SAND CASTED FRAME

Finished frame not yet installed in piano.

Every CF frame is built by hand to our exacting specifications at our Iwata Forge in Japan.

 

LIKE NO HAMMERS ON EARTH

Two small wood pieces with each head wrapped in felt on a table with another one plus a handful of felt on table in background.

Yamaha craftsmen spent nearly two decades experimenting with the shapes, sizes and materials of the hammers so they perform in perfect harmony with every part of the CF piano.

 

HAND-WOUND BASS STRINGS

Our artisans painstakingly wind pure copper by hand to adjust the balance and tension of each bass string to the exacting standards and sound profile of every CF piano. You will hear the attention to detail in every note.

 

REGULATED AND TUNED TO PERFECTION

Someone is using a rachet tool to turn the pins that tighten or loosen the piano string in a grand piano.

Each CF piano is meticulously voiced, regulated and tuned by master technicians in our Concert Piano Workshop to bring out the nuanced colors, harmonics and resonance from this superb instrument.

 

BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT

The finish of the CF is applied by hand, one layer at a time, and buffed to our stringent specifications using traditional methods. A semi-gloss finish is applied on the top board to reduce distracting reflections from stage lights.

Yamaha Premium Series Testimonials

Even though the CF4 is not the largest piano, I admit that it has full and deep sound in the lower bass rather than loud and strong; at the same time, it has Beautiful, brilliant, but sensitive sound in the upper register. The CF4 has perfect balance in each register, and the piano feels intimate and intricate. It has the best actions to helps me to create delicate nuance and complex multi-layer voicing.

This piano truly makes me feel more connected with the instrument like your own voice, giving you full control of the piano. It is capable of creating the softest sound possible which is a sign of a high-quality piano.

I visited Yamaha Piano Showroom in Tokyo several years ago, and I had a pleasure of playing on a few CF pianos there. Though every piano had slightly different sound and balance, all of them were conditioned at the highest quality. I ended up spending a few hours there in the showroom salon. This is the most perfect piano anyone wishes to have at home, concert hall, school, church, anywhere.
