YAMAHA C1X - Very Rare Find!

Yamaha’s Premier Baby Grand – European-Inspired Design in a Compact Form

The Yamaha C1X is part of the CX Series—a premium line of grand pianos that marked a bold evolution of Yamaha’s legendary C Series. Influenced by Yamaha’s ownership of Bösendorfer, the C1X delivers surprising depth, long sustain, and a wide tonal palette—all packed into a refined 5'3" cabinet. With thickened rims, custom-voiced hammers, and redesigned scaling, the C1X defies expectations of what a small grand can do.

The CX Series commands a premium when new, and C1X models—especially recent ones like this 2018—are rarely available in the U.S. used market. If you're looking for a compact Yamaha grand with elevated tone and craftsmanship, this one stands out.

Refurbishing & Final Prep

This piano was professionally refurbished in Japan to an exceptionally high standard, with action work, hammer shaping, string cleaning, and cabinet detailing all handled by a top-tier facility in Hamamatsu. This level of care is part of why we source directly from Japan—it sets a strong foundation.

Once the piano arrives in Seattle, we take that work a step further. Every piano is inspected, regulated, and voiced in our shop to bring it to the highest standard possible. This final stage ensures a consistent, expressive touch and a balanced tone that performs beautifully across all registers.
