Each has its own distinctive character, giving you the freedom to find a piano sound that suits your playing. Yamaha\u2019s modelling technology brings these voices to life by recreating the complex resonances produced inside an acoustic piano. Notes respond, ring out, and blend together more naturally as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, authentic sound is only part of the appeal. Yamaha draw on their long history of building acoustic instruments to create weighted keyboards and carefully constructed cabinets that feel reassuringly like an acoustic. Their expertise in audio technology also shines through in the speaker systems, helping those grand-piano samples fill the room with rich, detailed sound.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s plenty to explore beyond traditional piano playing, too. Compatible Clavinovas connect to Yamaha\u2019s Smart Pianist app, developed by the team in Milton Keynes. From there, you can select voices, adjust settings, practise built-in pieces, and display musical scores on a smart device. Some models can even analyse songs and generate chord progressions.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Digital_Pianos\/Yamaha_Pianos.html?page=1&#038;filters%9187%93=848,5337,37123&#8243; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;SHOP YAMAHA CLAVINOVA&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;NEW CTA Button&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Arial|700|||||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|30px||30px|false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset6&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;2px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Clavinova history&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;#f08000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clavinova_history\"><\/span>Clavinova history<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48514 alignright size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-Clavinova-piano-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Yamaha Clavinova piano\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-Clavinova-piano-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-Clavinova-piano-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-Clavinova-piano-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-Clavinova-piano.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>With years of experience and unparalleled knowledge going into every key, Yamaha&#8217;s Clavinova range is the product of constant innovation. Debuted in 1983, it redefined digital pianos, and Yamaha has been perfecting them ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Take the Graded Hammer keyboard, for example. It was introduced in 1996 to provide pianists with a natural, authentic-feeling experience.<\/p>\n<p>Players no longer had to sacrifice the smooth, intuitive response of an acoustic keyboard &#8211; they could have great digital perks and strikingly realistic playability at the same time. And the sound samples were improving, too.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, the digital piano was filled with the soul and tone of the CFIIIS full concert grand. Meticulously obtained samples meant that players could enjoy the scale of a grand piano&#8217;s sound, but with a much more compact and affordable physical form. The best of both worlds.<\/p>\n<p>Six years later, Yamaha captured the voicings of the CFX Concert Grand and the B\u00f6sendorfer Imperial concert grand for the CLP series. They gave players the chance to decide which piano tone is best for them.<\/p>\n<p>Today? Expressive sound and authentic feel are two key features of Clavinova. From natural, counterweighted keys to exquisitely recorded dynamics, both the structure and sound quality have been considered in great detail. Plus, intuitive apps such as Smart Pianist and flowkey can be easily connected, helping you hone your skills.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Why is the Clavinova so popular?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;#f08000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_the_Clavinova_so_popular\"><\/span>Why is the Clavinova so popular?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Every current model of the Clavinova range is built to offer great playing experiences to budding pianists and professionals alike. They&#8217;re loved by musicians around the world.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a digital piano to aid you in developing, practising, and mastering your skill &#8211; innovative technology is key. With Yamaha, this comes in the form of Grand Expression Modelling, which enables each piano key to react to your touch in an exceptionally detailed and expressive way.<\/p>\n<p>Its response is just like that of an acoustic piano &#8211; a dream come true for beginners who want to practise proper technique that feels the same during an exam or recital.<\/p>\n<p>The Clavinova&#8217;s carefully recorded sound is also a huge hit with pianists. Only the best of the best has been used, bringing concert hall-worthy sound to your home.<\/p>\n<p>The CFX grand was played by the 2010 International Chopin Competition winner, demonstrating its prestige and grandeur, whilst the B\u00f6sendorfer Imperial produces the famed &#8220;Viennese Sound&#8221; and is deemed to be the only piano capable of withstanding the energetic playing of Franz Liszt.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s having these hugely respected and admired piano sounds &#8211; and all their nuances &#8211; installed within a digital model that makes the Clavinova range the first port of call for many seasoned players.<\/p>\n<p>Virtual Resonance Modelling (VRM) then enhances this sound even further, causing notes to blend in and out of each other in the same way they would on an acoustic piano. This alleviates any unnatural breaks in sound and further improves the recreation of acoustic piano resonance.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;CLP vs. CSP vs. CVP&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;#f08000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CLP_vs_CSP_vs_CVP\"><\/span>CLP vs. CSP vs. CVP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>CLP, CSP, and CVP pianos might share the Clavinova name, but they cater to quite different players. So, which series is right for you?<\/p>\n<p>The CLP range keeps the focus firmly on the piano itself. Particular attention is paid to the keyboard action, sound, and physical feel, making these models ideal if you want the familiarity of an acoustic instrument with all the flexibility of a digital one. There are still useful modern functions to explore, but they never distract from what matters most: sitting down and playing.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a piano for the whole family, a CSP might be the better fit. Smart Pianist integration puts its sounds and settings within easy reach, while Stream Lights show you which keys to play. This makes learning more approachable, whether you\u2019re taking your first steps or returning to the piano after a break.<\/p>\n<p>CSP models also offer more sounds, backing options, and built-in learning tools, giving everyone plenty to discover.<\/p>\n<p>The CVP series takes this versatility even further. Alongside an authentic piano feel, you\u2019ll find an extensive collection of instrument voices, backing styles, and performance functions. Select a style, start playing, and you can enjoy the sound and energy of a full ensemble from one instrument.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Yamaha CLP 825 Digital Piano&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;#f08000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Meet_the_models\"><\/span>Meet the models<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So, now you know the history and why they&#8217;re adored by pianists, how does each model differ?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yamaha_CLP_825\"><\/span>Yamaha CLP 825<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48510 alignright size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-825-Digital-Piano-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Yamaha CLP 825 Digital Piano\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-825-Digital-Piano-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-825-Digital-Piano-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-825-Digital-Piano-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-825-Digital-Piano-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-825-Digital-Piano-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-825-Digital-Piano-980x980.jpg 980w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-825-Digital-Piano-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-825-Digital-Piano.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The most affordable model of the Clavinova range, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-825-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black\/6GTA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLP 825<\/a><\/strong> is an exceptional choice for beginners and advanced players looking for something to showcase their ever-developing technique.<\/p>\n<p>It features a GrandTouch-S keyboard \u2014 a staple of all the CLP pianos, which replicates the response of hammers hitting the strings. Grand Expression Modelling then further imitates an acoustic piano&#8217;s playability and the way hammers, dampers, and strings interact with each other.<\/p>\n<p>There are four levels of keyboard touch sensitivity: hard, medium, soft, and fixed, granting just the right response to whatever you play.<\/p>\n<p>Binaural sampling (used for the CFX Grand) and Yamaha&#8217;s Stereophonic Optimiser allow for an expansive sound that doesn&#8217;t change with headphones.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of the Stereophonic Optimiser is that it promises silent practice to be not quite so&#8230; silent. To you, that is. It gives you your own world of immersive sound through the headphones that feels as though it&#8217;s coming directly from the piano. It&#8217;s unlike any other silent practice experience, and it&#8217;s this kind of attention to space and natural sound that makes Yamaha so sought-after.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, samples from the CFX and B\u00f6sendorfer Imperial have been masterfully installed in the CLP models. With the 825, two 20W speakers then provide enough amplification to fill the room with their magical tones.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s an array of 10 voices to choose from, with a maximum 256-note polyphony for full, rich sound. And when you want to layer these voices, you can via &#8211; you guessed it &#8211; Layer mode. Duo mode is also there to help beginners progress, allowing both student and teacher to play at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>The Smart Pianist app allows you to adjust settings and select instrument voices remotely, whilst also enabling you to play along to your favourite songs.

It boasts Yamaha&#8217;s &#8220;Escapement&#8221; technology, which allows you to experience those nuanced responses that you would expect in a grand piano. Even with the slightest of touches, the key will react accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, there are six levels of keyboard sensitivity: hard 1, hard 2, medium, soft 1, soft 2, and fixed. Having extra sensitivity levels at your fingertips opens the door to a much more detailed response, so a broader variety of playing techniques can reach their full potential.<\/p>\n<p>Again, the sounds of the Yamaha CFX and B\u00f6sendorfer Imperial have been loaded, powered this time by two 30W speakers. You can then choose from 7 reverb effects to sculpt the kind of room response you&#8217;re after.<\/p>\n<p>A huge leap from the 825, this Yamaha creation holds a total of 38 voices, including period-correct fortepianos used by the likes of Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin.<\/p>\n<p>Much simpler than modern-day pianos, the sound of the fortepiano decays quickly. With the 835, you have a unique opportunity to play and hear the pieces of these renowned composers exactly how they envisioned them. History at your fingertips.<\/p>\n<p>As well as Layer and Duo functions, the 835 also boasts a Split function. This is particularly useful for composers and arrangers who want to see how various instruments sound with each other. Set one voicing to the bass half of the piano and another to the treble, and you&#8217;ll have full, clear timbres to explore.<\/p>\n<p>Binaural sampling has been used for both the CFX Grand and B\u00f6sendorfer, and thanks to the Stereophonic Optimiser, you won&#8217;t feel like you&#8217;re wearing headphones during those silent practice sessions.<\/p>\n<p>The 835 comes with external device connectivity, meaning you can connect the Smart Pianist app and enjoy three months of flowkey Premium.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-Clavinova-CLP-835-Digital-Piano-White-Birch\/6GTZ&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;SHOP NOW&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;NEW CTA Button&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Arial|700|||||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|30px||30px|false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset6&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;2px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Yamaha CLP 845 Digital Piano&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yamaha_CLP_845\"><\/span>Yamaha CLP 845<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48512 alignright size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-845-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Yamaha CLP 845 Digital Piano, Satin Black\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-845-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-845-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-845-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-845-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-845-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-845-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black-980x980.jpg 980w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-845-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-845-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-845-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black\/6GTH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLP 845<\/a><\/strong> takes things up a notch with a GrandTouch-S keyboard that is enhanced with wooden white keys. This might seem like a small aspect of the piano&#8217;s design, but it&#8217;s this kind of attention to the finer details that has earned Yamaha its prestigious reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are the wooden white keys a dream to play, but they also perfectly replicate the feel of a grand piano. Plus, they look much better than laminate keys, <em>and<\/em> they&#8217;re resistant to warping.<\/p>\n<p>The 845 features 38 voices and two 45W amplifiers powering the speakers. Such a grand sound system is perfect for pianists who want to send the sparkling tones of the CFX and B\u00f6sendorfer out into a room of any size.<\/p>\n<p>The main difference between the CLP 845 and the aforementioned models is Bluetooth MIDI and audio technology. This is the first model in the 800 series to feature such useful connectivity, and you&#8217;re sure to notice its convenience straight away.<\/p>\n<p>The piano also comes with a limited-time subscription to flowkey Premium.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-Clavinova-CLP-845-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black\/6GTH&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;SHOP NOW&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;NEW CTA Button&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#0e95cf&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Arial|700|||||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x35;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|30px||30px|false|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset6&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;2px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Yamaha CLP 865 Digital Grand Piano&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yamaha_CLP_865_Digital_Grand_Piano\"><\/span>Yamaha CLP 865 Digital Grand Piano<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48513 alignright size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-865-Digital-Grand-Piano-Polished-Ebony-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Yamaha CLP 865 Digital Grand Piano, Polished Ebony\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-865-Digital-Grand-Piano-Polished-Ebony-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-865-Digital-Grand-Piano-Polished-Ebony-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-865-Digital-Grand-Piano-Polished-Ebony-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-865-Digital-Grand-Piano-Polished-Ebony-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-865-Digital-Grand-Piano-Polished-Ebony-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-865-Digital-Grand-Piano-Polished-Ebony-980x980.jpg 980w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-865-Digital-Grand-Piano-Polished-Ebony-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/Yamaha-CLP-865-Digital-Grand-Piano-Polished-Ebony.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The final &#8211; and most aesthetically magnificent &#8211; CLP model on our list is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-865-Digital-Grand-Piano-Polished-Ebony\/6GU5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLP 865<\/a><\/strong>.

Debuted in 1983, it redefined digital pianos, and Yamaha has been perfecting them ever since.<\/p><p>Take the Graded Hammer keyboard, for example. It was introduced in 1996 to provide pianists with a natural, authentic-feeling experience.<\/p><p>Players no longer had to sacrifice the smooth, intuitive response of an acoustic keyboard - they could have great digital perks and strikingly realistic playability at the same time. And the sound samples were improving, too.<\/p><p>In 2008, the digital piano was filled with soul and tone courtesy of the CFIIIS full concert grand. Meticulously obtained samples meant that players could enjoy the scale of a grand piano's sound, but with a much more compact and affordable physical form. The best of both worlds.<\/p><p>However, the CFIIIS wasn't enough. <em>Two<\/em> iconic pianos had to be installed in the Clavinova pianos for players to relish exceptional versatility and room-filling sound.<\/p><p>As we all know, when it comes to pianos, it isn't a 'one-size-fits-all' kind of situation. You would choose an acoustic piano based on its tone, as that is unchangeable, but with a digital piano, you have the benefit of sculpting, shaping, and defining your sound.<\/p><p>Therefore, six years later, Yamaha captured the voicings of the CFX Concert Grand and the B\u00f6sendorfer Imperial concert grand for the CLP series. They gave players the chance to decide which piano tone is best for them.<\/p><p>Today? Expressive sound and authentic feel are two key features of Clavinova. From natural, counterweighted keys to exquisitely recorded dynamics - both the structure and sound quality have been considered in great detail. Plus, intuitive apps such as Smart Pianist and flowkey can be easily connected, helping you hone your skills.<\/p><hr \/><h3>Why is the Clavinova so popular?<\/h3><p>Every current model of the Clavinova range is built to offer great playing experiences to budding pianists and professionals alike. They're loved by musicians around the world.<\/p><p>If you want a digital piano to aid you in developing, practising, and mastering your skill - innovative technology is key. With Yamaha, this comes in the form of Grand Expression Modelling, which enables each piano key to react to your touch in an exceptionally detailed and expressive way.<\/p><p>Its response is just like that of an acoustic piano - a dream come true for beginners who want to practise proper technique that feels the same during an exam or recital.<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7395 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/37a65e53-clp775_pe_lifestyle03_couple-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"CLP775_PE_Lifestyle03_couple\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p><p>The Clavinova's carefully recorded sound is also a huge hit with pianists. Only the best of the best has been used, bringing concert hall-worthy sound to your home.<\/p><p>The CFX grand was played by the 2010 International Chopin Competition winner, demonstrating its prestige and grandeur, whilst the B\u00f6sendorfer Imperial produces the famed \"Viennese Sound\" and is deemed to be the only piano capable of withstanding the energetic playing of Franz Liszt.<\/p><p>It's having these hugely respected and admired piano sounds - and all their nuances - installed within a digital model that makes the Clavinova range the first port of call for many seasoned players.<\/p><p>Virtual Resonance Modelling (VRM) then enhances this sound even further, causing notes to blend in and out of each other in the same way they would on an acoustic piano. This alleviates any unnatural breaks in sound, and further improves the recreation of acoustic piano resonance.<\/p><hr \/><h3>Meet the models<\/h3><p>So, now you know the history and why they're adored by pianists, how does each model differ?<\/p><hr \/><h4>Yamaha CLP 725 Digital Piano<\/h4><p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7172 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/4d6b55ff-yamaha-clp-725-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>The most affordable model of the Clavinova range, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-725-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black\/3GUW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLP 725<\/a><\/strong> is an exceptional choice for beginners and advanced players looking for something to showcase their ever-developing technique.<\/p><p>It features a GrandTouch-S keyboard - a staple of all the CLP pianos, which replicates the response of hammers hitting the strings. Grand Expression Modelling then further imitates an acoustic piano's playability and the way hammers, dampers, and strings interact with each other.<\/p><p>All this careful craftsmanship and attention-to-detail results in a keyboard that responds to the intensity, depth, and speed of your playing.<\/p><p>There are four levels of keyboard touch sensitivity: hard, medium, soft, and fixed - granting just the right response to whatever you play.<\/p><p>Binaural sampling (used for the CFX Grand) and Yamaha's Stereophonic Optimiser allow for an expansive sound that doesn't change with headphones. How might that be, you ask? Well, the beauty of the Stereophonic Optimiser is that it promises silent practice that's not quite so....\u00a0 silent. To you, that is.<\/p><p>When you pop the headphones on, you'll be in your own world of whirling, immersive sound that feels as though it's coming directly from the piano. It's unlike any other silent practice experience, and it's this kind of attention to space and natural sound that makes Yamaha so sought-after.<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7398 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/53097057-clp725-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"CLP725\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p><p>As mentioned earlier, samples from the CFX and B\u00f6sendorfer Imperial have been masterly installed in the CLP models. With the 725, two 20W speakers then provide enough amplification to fill the room with their magical tones.<\/p><p>That's not all, there's actually an array of 10 voices to choose from, with a maximum 256-note polyphony for full, rich sound. And when you want to layer these voices, you can via - you guessed it - Layer mode. Duo mode is also there to help beginners progress, allowing both student and teacher to play at the same time.<\/p><p>Versatile connectivity is a must-have for many pianists. Not only can the CLP 725 be connected to headphones, but it can also be linked to external devices.<\/p><p>The Smart Pianist app allows you to adjust settings and select instrument voices remotely, whilst also enabling you to play along to your favourite songs. And three months of flowkey premium is included with the piano, an app that's regarded as one of the best piano learning apps out there.<\/p><p>Shop now | <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-725-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black\/3GUW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yamaha CLP 725 Digital Piano<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Shop now | <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-725-Digital-Piano-Package-Satin-Black\/3Q7L\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yamaha CLP 725 Digital Piano Package<\/a><\/strong><\/p><hr \/><h4>Yamaha CLP 735 Digital Piano<\/h4><p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7170 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/71b3d379-yamaha-clp-735-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>Next up, we have the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-735-Digital-Piano-White-Ash\/3GV8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLP 735<\/a><\/strong>, a piano that's similar to the 725 but with a little extra <em>oomph<\/em> in sound projection and a wider range of functions.<\/p><p>Firstly, you'll have the GrandTouch-S keyboard with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops. It boasts Yamaha's \"Escapement\" technology, which allows you to experience those nuanced responses that you would expect in a grand piano. Even with the slightest of touches, the key will react accordingly.<\/p><p>In fact, there are six levels of keyboard sensitivity: hard 1, hard 2, medium, soft 1, soft 2, and fixed. Having extra sensitivity levels at your fingertips opens the door to a much more detailed response, so a broader variety of playing techniques can reach their full potential.<\/p><p>As ever, sounds of the Yamaha CFX and B\u00f6sendorfer Imperial have been loaded, powered this time by two 30W speakers. You can then choose from 6 reverb effects and 3 chorus effects, all of which allow you to sculpt the kind of sound projection you're after.<\/p><p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7171 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/99a21dab-clp-735-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p><p>A huge leap from the 725, this Yamaha creation holds a total of 38 voices, including period-correct fortepianos used by the likes of Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin.<\/p><p>Much simpler than modern-day pianos, the sound of the fortepiano decays quickly. With the 735, you have a unique opportunity to play and hear the pieces of these renowned composers exactly how they envisioned them. History at your fingertips.<\/p><p>As well as Layer and Duo functions, the 735 also boasts a Split function. This is particularly useful for composers and arrangers who want to see how various instruments sound with each other. Set one voicing to the bass half of the piano and another to the treble, and you'll have full, clear timbres to explore.<\/p><p>Binaural sampling has been used for both the CFX Grand and B\u00f6sendorfer, and thanks to the Stereophonic Optimiser, you won't feel like you're wearing headphones during those silent practice sessions.<\/p><p>The 735 comes with external device connectivity, meaning you can connect the Smart Pianist app and enjoy three months of flowkey premium.<\/p><p>Shop now | <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-735-Digital-Piano-White-Ash\/3GV8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yamaha CLP 735 Digital Piano<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Shop now | <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-735-Digital-Piano-Package-Satin-White\/3HW9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yamaha CLP 735 Digital Piano Package<\/a><\/strong><\/p><hr \/><h4>Yamaha CLP 745 Digital Piano<\/h4><p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7173 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/04\/4b42e7f6-clp-745-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-745-Digital-Piano-Satin-Black\/3GVC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLP 745<\/a><\/strong> takes things up a notch with a GrandTouch-S keyboard that is enhanced with wooden white keys.

Plus, they look much better than laminate keys <em>and<\/em> they're resistant to warping.<\/p><p>The 745 features 38 voices, two of which are fortepianos, just like the CLP 735.

You can really feel the full scale of the sound you're emitting, allowing the CFX and B\u00f6sendorfer samples to ring through the 50W and 42W amplifiers.<\/p><p>Binaural sampling, Virtual Resonance Modelling, and Stereophonic Optimiser have all been employed for a truly authentic recreation of these iconic piano sounds, the same way they have been employed for the other CLP models.<\/p><p>The difference here is that the scale of this grand piano and its speakers really brings the samples to life.<\/p><p>Two of the 38 voices are historically accurate fortepiano samples, granting you the tonal experience that Beethoven and Mozart had, but with the brilliant modern-day innovation that only Yamaha can bring.<\/p><p>You can never stop improving on skill, which is why, even though this piano might seem like it's for pianists at the top of their game, it comes with a three-month subscription to flowkey premium.<\/p><p>Such an extensive range of courses and songs allows you to adapt the app and its resources to your own ability level. There's even instant feedback to ensure your skill is perfected and sounding its absolute best.<\/p><p>Shop now | <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-765-Digital-Grand-Piano-Polished-Ebony\/3GVJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yamaha CLP 765 Digital Grand Piano<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Shop now | <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Keyboards-and-Pianos\/Yamaha-CLP-765-Digital-Grand-Piano-Package-Polished-Ebony\/3HWE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yamaha CLP 765 Digital Grand Piano Package<\/a><\/strong><\/p><hr \/><h3>Which is best for me?<\/h3><p>It probably comes as no surprise that the deeper you dive into the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Digital_Pianos\/Yamaha_Pianos.html?page=1&filters[87]=848,849\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clavinova range<\/a><\/strong>, the more advanced the pianos become.
