I remember coming across an old Yamaha CF a few years ago it needed some restoration done to it, but as is it's not that bad Chopin pieces in my opinion sounded really great on it. I also may have come across eather a Yamaha CFX or a Yamaha CFIIIS meny years ago, however due to it being a wile back I don't quite remember exactlly how it played/sounded like. I did come across that piano during the time when Yamaha already made the switch from the CFIIIS to the CFX. For anyone wondering how are piano movers able to move concert grands threw tight spaces the legs and pedals can be removed so the piano can be carried sideways, and this is the same for all models of grand pianos🦊🎹🎶

Quite funny watching this performance with Native Instruments shirt and not using any of NI 🤪

These are really cheesy demos 🙃

If I won the lottery I would build a house with space for a Clavinova, because I believe they’re the best of both worlds. A great idea executed brilliantly 💯

That’s amazing video. I Guess we will see you soon in upcoming release of new professional arranger Yamaha PSR-SX620 event.

You were playing the Ragtime on this Concert Grand when the pianist lady says - What are you doin?? - that's enternaining Woody ;)

My two favorite virtual pianos were sampled from the Yamaha CFX grand: Noire and Garritan CFX.

7:43: thank you for this. Been searching for a demo of the ‘straight’ Clav.

Gotta love the bottom C on that thing!

Those Yamaha uprights have been around for a long time. You could actually have a LIVE concert in your home via a live concert pianist via internet! Quite the break through some time ago! Another thing, the DISCLAIVER pianos were modern 'REPRODUCING' pianos that did not need the pneumatic systems from back in the day, yet do the same thing. Amazing things from Yamaha!

LOVED the Hornsby tribute! Might I add? I began my piano tech and tuning travels at a Yamaha piano dealer here in Massachusetts. It was wonderful to tune all the new Yamaha pianos on the showroom floor and then go out and tune for the customers. Fond memories from 1988 !

Someone wearing leather is always going to play better

A few questions: 1) What's the polyphony? 2) Does it have PWM?

Thabk you for doing this video...so interesting to see and hear a real CFX

I loved the CFX but liked that upright more. Impressed that the keyboard gets muted so you can play on it silently with headphones. Whoa! Guess the future has finally come to the real thing. I only wish you wouldve played it for us. Yamaha U-1

Im glad I have a sample of this beauty to play with at home in my own Yamaha arranger. you guys all sounded really good.

Loved your tour of beauty in Malmö 😅 wonderful venue there, and yes Jan is right, U2 is quite an upright band as we understand. lol 😁✌thanks again for sharing Woody. CU next ! 🙏🎵🌱

My ears think this piano tastes good.

One of my ultimate dreams is to play on a grand piano.

Very nice Woody and you sound great! The way those bass strings resonate the strings is amazing. I have a C3X but CFX is another level (price is too!).

I just looked up the cost: £147,267 including VAT! 🤯 (From Yamaha Music London)

You have managed to make me feel both young and old at the same time! 😂😂 I was 10 years old when this came out and listened to it on my transistor radio ..... (sighs nostalgically.....)

Nice Kindersenzen woody!

Really enjoyed the video. I was lucky enough to get a Clavinova CLP-735 earlier this year and the binaural sampling is next level. Months later I'm still taking my headphones off at the start of each practice to make sure I really have plugged them in!

You did great justice to this marvellous instrument with the snippets you played.

Wow that lady was incredible

Thanks woody. Great to see the real cfx. Always use this preset on my p515.

Great video, Woody. Personally, I wouldn't want an acoustic piano. I'm more into keyboards, but I certainly wouldn't mind having a Yamaha CVP-909 GP Clavinova! Best of both worlds. So, let me ask you a question. How does the DGX-670 CFX sample compare to the real thing?

Synthmaster 3. That's it.

The silent upright piano, that’s a pretty clever design. It reminds me a bit of a piano that Dr. Mix has, in which some kind of sensors where built to give it midi output capabilities.

The touch must be magnificent !

The guy was spot on explaining binaural recording. That's how I enjoy my P515 CFX early in the morning!

I wonder if U2 has an U1.

Thanks for the video! It was very interesting. I guess I will have to buy one now. 😃

MSRP $200k, 9ft long. Next in line C7 is $90k and 7ft long

It is such an honor to play concert grand pianos....IF....they are tuned and voiced and maintained by expert technicians. Without the technician, you don't have anything. for 5 years while my wife played piano for a university, I had access to Baldwin's and Steinway's best 9 foot grands, and the technicians came straight from the Portland Oregon (USA) Steinway store. There are very few pianos I play on stage where I don't have to spend hours practicing on them because they have voicing, tuning and mechanical problems. These university pianos were always in perfect shape to play, when the piano is in this pristine condition, all I have to play is the emotion, I don't think about playing the instrument at all. I hope every viewer of your video realizes that no microphone or million dollar recording studio can even begin to capture the sound of these pianos in the room, and certainly not from your video. (no offence :) I realize you didn't even attempt such a recording endeavor for it would have been futile.

Wow what a great video.

Great Stuff. Have you by any chance concidered doing a video on the Yamaha CP70/80 electro-acoustic piano? I have no idea how rare they are in Sweden, in Finland they are unicorns.

The piano tech did a good job. This real CFX has a nice tone, sounding richer and less bright than many digitally sampled CFX versions. Or it could be the mic frequency response. Anyway, great video, fun to watch pianists enjoy this nice instrument.

(Psst . . . looking forward to a Roland Juno-D review. I like the look of the BRASS. STRING. SYNTH. BASS. buttons at the front of the control panel.)

That was breathtaking!!! Excellent video Woody!!!

Great video Woody, thanks!

My "Grand" mother had one😂😂.

Hey Woody, You have a remarkable "at home" demeanor when playing that CFX, as I normally see all your videos seated in from of some sort of digital. However, you have a presence seated at that pinnacle of Yamaha's creation with a genuine purpose and a can-do style. So, when will you be buying that CFX???........ah c'mon, what's a few hundred thousand dollars anyway!😜

Forgive me for writing to You here. I need a program that separates the tracks of an audio or provides the transcription especially for piano (and/or guitar tablature) of some selected moments of some classic pop|rock songs. To understand like Genesis, Beatles etc. What do you recommend without thinking about the cost? Infinite thanks ❤
