Yamaha x series grands
on: July 02, 2014, 02:59:02 AM
I was wondering if some of you out there have come into contact with Yamaha's CX7 and what your impressions have been. We own 2 C7s an (E and an F series) and I'm struggling with feel on one and voicing on both. I'm in the recording business and have had a long and rewarding relationship with my 1986 C 7-E. These pianos are in the Denver area. I'm intrigued by the release of the new Yamaha grands, have briefly seen one, but have not yet seen serious commentary from owners or performers. Dealer or factory "reviews" are not helpful. Thanks all

I don't know anything about the X but I wouldn't be looking at them specifically anyway.. However I do know that if I ever need to record anything professionally I would head to Sedona Arizona and see Joe Borgiono at piano Haven Studio and record it on his Shigeru Kawai. I've heard the sounds from this instrument produced in his studio and am convinced it's a sound I like. It produces a magical clear crystalline sound. I believe it's a 7 ft. model. You could call Joe and ask how his experience has been with Kawai ( he took out an RX to put this one in ). He has links all over your browser that can be found in a simple search.

Depressing the pedal on an out of tune acoustic piano and playing does not result in tonal color control or add interest, it's called obnoxious.
