S3X

Characterized by warm and beautiful tones, the S3X pianos have a romantic voice that every pianist desires.

A new approach to achieving timeless resonance

Think of a Stradivarius, and you think of a rich, mellow tone that resonates more deeply with every passing year. What if you could bring that same timeless resonance to a concert piano?

Yamaha discovered a way. Our A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment imbues wood used in the rims with the acoustic properties of a beloved vintage instrument. In our SX Series pianos, the effect is remarkable. You find yourself embraced in a richly expressive sound with a beautifully sustained resonance.

• Made from specially selected strong European spruce, the SX Series soundboard is built to withstand stress and retain its shape. Throughout its playing life, it promises to deliver rich overtones, low decay, and a wide range of expressive tonal colors.
• In order to realize the ideal sound, one of the most important factors is that the hammers must complement the piano body. The SX Series employs exclusive hammer felt made with a newly developed formula. 
• Hand-winding piano strings is an extremely demanding task that can only be performed by seasoned experts. 
• The clean, modern design and graceful curves of the SX Series are the physical counterpart to its elegant and expressive sound.
