Of the 151 performances held throughout the competition, 70 were on the CFX, making it the most popular piano. It was also selected for the first three solo rounds by seven of the 10 finalists, and was the piano played for three out of the six performances that earned grand prizes. Further, the competition 1st prize winner, Seong-Jin Cho, selected a CFX for his awarded prize recital at the Salle Gaveau in Paris on November 7, 2015. This recent achievement marks five short years since the CFX made its illustrious debut in 2010, and we are all delighted with the level of acceptance and appreciation the instrument continues to earn on the concert stage. The rich, powerful acoustics found in the CFX, balanced with its singing legato and delicate pianissimos not only allows artists to create performances of unmatched beauty and individuality, but also demonstrate that the CFX can stand proudly as one of the finest pianos in the world.
