A concert grand with extraordinary range
Built for nuance, projection and tonal depth Concert Grand YF3 is based on Yamaha’s renowned CFIII, a 9’ concert grand introduced in 1983 and prized for its sensitivity, powerful projection and wide tonal palette. Recorded at Fonoprint Studios in Bologna, the instrument was captured with DPA microphones up close and Schoeps microphones at medium distance in a coincident configuration. Robot-assisted deep multisampling preserves the subtle response of the original piano across the full dynamic range.

About
When Yamaha craftsmen unveiled the CFIII in 1983, it was an instant hit. Praised by both critics and performers for its sound and playability, it’s been used by a number of notable pianists, including Chick Corea, Hiromi Uehara and Glenn Gould. It was also the first Yamaha piano to use the company's new "Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer Action II" (SHS II), which is designed to provide a more realistic feel and response. Though discontinued, the CFIII is still considered to be one of the finest concert grand pianos in the world and one that can be yours today in the Concert Grand YF3.
Using DPA microphones for the close miking and Schoeps mics for medium-distanced coincident pair, this spectacular piano was recorded at the legendary Fonoprint Studios in Bologna, Italy, within the walls of a 15th century convent. In addition to our many IK sample sessions over the years, Fonoprint has hosted the very best Italian and international artists from Ennio Morricone to Luciano Pavarotti to Andrea Bocelli.
