Thanks to its length of 161 cm, the GC1 instantly produces a fuller and more expressive tone than the GB1. That’s why this grand piano immediately goes up a level where sound quality is concerned. Nevertheless, this instrument remains characterised as a 'baby grand' in the Yamaha range: a smaller grand piano with a beautiful cabinet that performs strongly at both the technical and musical level. In short, a quality piano that combines size as well as sound production with an affordable price tag.
SH2 Silent System
Yamaha’s SH Silent System is the first and only system in the industry equipped with the incredible sound that has been acquired from the new Yamaha CFX concert grand piano. When the silencing function is activated and the keys are struck, hammer shank stoppers move into place to prevent the hammers from striking the strings. While the piano is outwardly silenced, the movement of the keys and other performance information are picked up by optical sensors and converted to digital data by a tone generator. The digitally sampled acoustic sound is then sent to the stereo headphones for the player to enjoy in complete privacy.
