Your video inspired me. I went to a local dealer to test one. I tried both C3 and C3X, and also C5X. C3X sounds very very good. (C5X, too). From my testing, action is super smooth and precise. The sound is big and warm. I notice also a new frame, and perhaps soundboard. Of course, the new styling is very handsome. I used to own a C3 from around 2002, which was a very nice piano. The C3X won in so many dimensions. I think the new series (maybe new S's and CFX are on the way) will be loved by musicians.
The silent technology is cool and the CX pianos are nice and a good value. You've done this and the C2X. Waiting for the S3X, a truly nice-sounding, (but much more expensive) piano.
Hi. Have you ever played a feurich 133 concert? If not, I recommend you to do a video on it. It's one of the best upright pianos I've ever seen😍. I'm eager to see how Fantasie Impromptu sounds on it...
Hello! May I ask if the sheets of the original pieces written by James are somewhere available ? Purchase is also ok! I love especially the one in this video, James is so talented and just love love his music and the way he plays, as well as the way he expresses himself!
Hi great sound. Please can you tell me, if I should buy a S3x or a C3x. Is the S3x so much better? Please tell me your opinion. You played both. Thanks and regards from Germany. Stephan
Both of these pianos are wonderful, and I doubt you would find any serious limitations with either of them. The S3X is a fantastic piano with an amazingly warm sound, and it honestly doesn't sound like a 6 foot piano - it sounds bigger to me. But the C3X is a very good piano as well, and I like them both. I think it is up to you, which sound you prefer, and which piano you like more.
@@stephanspiano4593 The SX series uses a case with the rim's wood that's treated to have an aged quality. That makes the piano have a deeper sound. I don't know about the action. I think as Yamahas get more expensive the already excellent action gets smoother.
I own a Yamaha C5X and several Kawai grands, have performed plenty on Shigeru grands, and practised on occasion on a Yamaha S6X in my student days. I dislike every SX series Yamahas I've come across - a powerhouse but not a lot of sensitivity with tonal nuance. I prefer the older S series which are quite likeable premium pianos. If you're looking for a premium Japanese grand piano, the Shigeru Kawai is the better musical instrument compared to the Yamaha SX series. It's cheaper too! Otherwise the C3X is a very fine piano. Yamaha made a LOT of improvement from the previous generation C series! I prefer the CX series to Kawai's GX series.
OK , I'm a groove musicians a classical wanna be 🙄 Gospel genres , Latin jazz , ballad , rock , progressive rock , lazz fusion , R&B , hip hop jazz (Robert glassper ) Give me a good advice please I wanna buy a piano that would fit this versatile path I'm taking and just love it , I have in mind Steinway, Fazioli, Yamaha. Is for my house (is gonna be my 2nd baby ) Any expert advice please , much thanks ! I know I sound like I wanna cover a lot a genres but I am a lover of Arts and I do use this genres a lot in my playing lol.
@@elleondejuda4681 Both make killer 7 1/2 footers. The Fazioli is a F228, and The Yamaha is a SX7. I wish you luck on picking the best one, as it will not be easy, but you can not make a mistake either.
I'd say that the C3X and the SK2/SK3 are trying to be in the same class. However, the Yamaha pianos are much more consistent than the smaller Shigeru models. I have seen them have issues with buzzing and other issues that make them feel less refined than their larger counterparts, as well as less refined and consistent than their competition - Yamaha.
@@JitinMisra The smaller SK line have been known to have problems. The top model Yamahas have been doing a great deal better as of late and seem to be very consistent, and not as bright as they were a few years ago.
@@ThePianoforever its interesting you comment on the brightness, i never played c7 or c7x( which you made a video of'), is the brightness character of yamaha gone now and are their pianos like c#x series in mellow group now?
I love how into pianos this guy is.
I could play this piano all day and night.
Nice one man - rich sound! Love the being able to play for oneself without everyone else hearing - wow!
Loved the video. Thanks for taking the time to talk about the C3X. I'm looking forward to playing it in person.
Very good Sound...Beautiful Piano....
Thanx for informative Video

Quite interesting how that mute bar works! Thanks again for another informative video!
This piano is especial, very very beautiful, i would like to have it.

I recently found one in Ohio, I'll upload it soon. :D
Sir you make an old man want to learn to play the piano
Love your own piece that you played in this piano.
Again, you inspire me to go shopping. Just wish I had an budget for a piano.
Does the Silent feature also include MIDI out option ?
I’m thinking I might get this piano so this is a good video for me

Now that's different!
James do you believe the silent piano function may date the piano?

They are not presently available, but I hope to offer some in the future.

Beautfiul
Cool piano.
Cool thumbnail! Is that at an organ store somewhere?

Thank you. Is the action Lighter/better of the S3x? Is it easier to play it quietly? The S3x is 15.000 Euros more expensive. Why....

EXCELLENT 🙏🏽💥🙏🏽
how much do these cost?
OK , I'm a groove musicians a classical wanna be 🙄
Gospel genres , Latin jazz , ballad , rock , progressive rock , lazz fusion ,
R&B , hip hop jazz (Robert glassper )
Give me a good advice please
I wanna buy a piano that would fit this versatile path I'm taking and just love it ,
I have in mind Steinway, Fazioli, Yamaha.
Is for my house (is gonna be my 2nd baby )
Any expert advice please , much thanks !
I know I sound like I wanna cover a lot a genres but I am a lover of Arts and I do use this genres a lot in my playing lol.
Fazioli and Yamaha SX, and above series are fantastic.
I do not recommend anyone buy new Steinways anymore, no exceptions!
And between yamaha and Fazioli, which one would you pick in my taste for music ?
Which Fazioli 7 Foot is more suitable for me ?
Thanks man !
@@elleondejuda4681 Both make killer 7 1/2 footers. The Fazioli is a F228, and The Yamaha is a SX7. I wish you luck on picking the best one, as it will not be easy, but you can not make a mistake either.
How did you mic the piano 🎹 for this demo ? 🙏🏽
WOW!
I'd pass on the silent play gimmick. It's almost a certainty it will cause issues down the road.
is this piano in a different class (lower class that is) than shiguru kawai sk2\3?
I'd say that the C3X and the SK2/SK3 are trying to be in the same class. However, the Yamaha pianos are much more consistent than the smaller Shigeru models. I have seen them have issues with buzzing and other issues that make them feel less refined than their larger counterparts, as well as less refined and consistent than their competition - Yamaha.
@@ThePianoforever the piano with issues you refer to is the shiguru kawai, not yamaha correct? just want to make sure i read it correctly.
@@JitinMisra The smaller SK line have been known to have problems. The top model Yamahas have been doing a great deal better as of late and seem to be very consistent, and not as bright as they were a few years ago.
@@ThePianoforever its interesting you comment on the brightness, i never played c7 or c7x( which you made a video of'), is the brightness character of yamaha gone now and are their pianos like c#x series in mellow group now?
@@JitinMisra It's not that they are mellow, now. They have a different characteristic to their brightness. The sustain of the tones are much improved.
