The keys replicate the feeling of an acoustic piano\u2019s escapement mechanism - and there are actual hammers inside the instrument.<\/p><p>When it comes to the Yamaha Clavinova range, the sound quality is unmatched. In fact, Yamaha have sampled both a CFX grand piano and a B\u00f6sendorfer Imperial.<\/p><p>Virtual Resonance Modelling also further simulates the natural reverberation and resonances of a grand piano\u2019s body. The Yamaha CFX is even sampled in binaural audio so that, when used with headphones, the instrument sounds like it\u2019s genuinely in front of you.<\/p><p>Shop now | <strong><a href=\"\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-725-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black\/3GUW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yamaha CLP 725<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Shop now | <strong><a href=\"\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-735-Digital-Piano-Polished-Ebony\/3GVA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yamaha CLP 735<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Shop now | <strong><a href=\"\/search\/?str_search_phrase=CLP+725#!eyJtIjpbXSwiYSI6W10sInQxMjgwIjpbIjcyMSJdLCJzODciOlsiODQ4Il0sInM2NjUiOlsiOTMxMCIsIjkzMDkiXSwibGFzdF9maWx0ZXIiOiIxMjgwIiwic3RyX3NlYXJjaF90ZXJtIjoiQ0xQIDcyNSIsInNyIjoiMSJ9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yamaha CLP 725\/735 Packages<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h4>Learning keys<\/h4><p>Like with their guitars, Yamaha offers resources for learning the piano or keyboard.
