At 5'3'' the instrument is big enough to produce a real depth of sound but small enough to fit domestically. The C series, as of January 2013, had their first major redesign. The C1X now has a redesigned soundboard crown, new string material and a much more refined set of hammers which resulted in a massive overall improvement. It is perfect for beginner, intermediate and professional pianists alike and is available in a selection of attractive finishes, polished ebony, polished mahogany, satin walnut, white and satin ebony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFirst and foremost an acoustic piano, a TransAcoustic piano is a versatile tool which combines the best features of a digital piano with the inimitable resonance and feel of an acoustic instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpecially positioned transducers transform the piano's soundboard into a natural loudspeaker, meaning you can practice at a lower volume without wearing headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cspan class=\"name\"\u003eDominic Barnett – Chamberlain Pianos\u003c\/span\u003e \n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-block\"\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.frederickhyde.com\/description_images\/Yamaha_TC3.jpg\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eTC3 TransAcoustic system\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe new TransAcoustic b Series Pianos feature advanced technology, and have been equipped with a volume control feature.
