Yamaha C3X vs Kawai GX3 Grand Pianos Review - Main Differences and Demonstration

Yamaha C3X vs Kawai GX3 Grand Pianos Comparison - Main Differences and Demonstration
In this video, Colin - Sales Manager here at Richard Lawson Pianos - compares two of the most popular mid-range grand pianos in the world: the Yamaha C3X and the Kawai GX3. Even though they are essentially the same size, there are distinct differences in their overall construction, part materials, and action components. Colin demonstrates both instruments to highlight their differing sound qualities, and also discusses other factors such as their different warranty terms.

YAMAHA sounds better in this video. It sounds clearer and more precise.

[@ricardolimacaixeta5823]

Please, could you tell me what is the piece of music you played at the beginning?

[@RichardLawsonPianosLtd]

Hi Ricardo - it was Rachmaninov's Prelude in C Sharp Minor, Op.3, No. 2.

Richard Lawson Pianos Ltd, thank you!

oh didn't know that Yamaha only has 5 years warranty in UK, but in Canada and US are 10 years. do you know why is that ??? thanks

It comes down to culture. Yamaha knows you European guys will be playing real classical music. Hammering the instrument day in day out play Chopin etudes, Rachmaninoff preludes, lots of scales. Meanwhile, Americans buy the piano for decoration in the house or for the kids to play Mary had a little lamb or chopsticks on it. They know a 10 year old American piano will be brand new with no use. Cause all we do is watch tv and eat French fries all day.

@@rinoceronte1 A lot of Yamahas are in schools in the USA or performance venues or nightclubs like jazz clubs or supper clubs. The Steinways sometimes are more purchased for furniture in homes (though they also are in universities and schools and jazz clubs and supper clubs). The C and now CX Yamahas are considered "workhorses."

@@benjaminsmith2287 well all I know is I can’t afford one. Most real classical pianists can’t.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

@@rinoceronte1 Yes, most. But there's the used market or uprights. Some don't mind the action difference in uprights.
