Yamaha Clavinova CLP-865GP Digital Piano Overview
With resonance and tone variation similar to a grand piano, the Yamaha Clavinova CLP-800 Series allows you to enjoy wide range of expression. The keyboard and pedals faithfully respond to the player’s touch to provide a feel close to that of a grand piano.
What Is the Clavinova CLP Series?
The Clavinova CLP Series aims to replicate the sensations and experience of playing an acoustic grand piano on digital instruments by combining the latest digital technology with the craft of acoustic piano-making cultivated over more than 120 years.
Digital Never Felt So Grand
Digital never felt so grand. This phrase captures the identity of the Clavinova CLP Series. The defining features of the CLP Series are astoundingly advanced piano performance and sophistication as a single instrument that is able to accommodate a wide range of musical expression. Our mission is to convey the joy and pleasure of piano playing to more piano players by continuing to push the boundaries and make our digital pianos for the household market as close to grand pianos as possible.
The Joy of Playing Clavinova Pianos
People want to play grand pianos, but cannot because of restrictions at home. The Clavinova CLP Series solves this problem by delivering lush playing experiences similar to grand pianos. CLP Series pianos feature quality that meets the demands of high-level practice and playing and plenty of functions to make practice enjoyable and effective.
Pursuing the stylistic beauty of classical music
Our focus in developing digital pianos is to create instruments capable of the musical expression needed to play a broad range of classical pieces. This involves using digital technology to replicate the behavior of the hammers, strings, dampers, and other grand piano components, which depends on how the pianist plays, and the resulting tonal variation, which is essentially limitless. When we succeed in doing that, we enrich the piano’s capacity for musical expression to the level required to play classical pieces.
Creating pianos capable of dialogue
Another area of focus in our development of digital pianos is the dialogue between the player and the instrument. For the player, the sounds the piano emits as they play are critical feedback for subsequent notes. The quality of this feedback is crucial for musical expression; thus, solving the mysteries of this feedback is the key to creating the sound of a digital piano.
Development based on players’ sensitivities
Achieving outstanding responsiveness of both keys and pedals—the interface between player and instrument—and sound that matches what the player feels as they play, is also key to Yamaha’s digital piano design philosophy.
About CLP Design
The Clavinova CLP Series boasts excellent playability along with a refined, authentic design that blends a compact form with modern aesthetics in a manner befitting the instrument that sets the contemporary standard for pianos. At the heart of the Clavinova design concept is the way the player feels when they take their seat in front of a Clavinova piano. Unnecessary elements are removed from the player’s field of view to create a convincingly natural space that feels just like sitting at an acoustic piano. This represents Yamaha’s consideration to players who practice on Clavinova and perform on grand pianos—they are able to take the stage free of tension or worry because everything feels normal, as it should. A Clavinova piano is a part of the player’s everyday life—contemporary accents and color variation are available to mesh with any interior design or lifestyle.
A long lineup of the Voices piano players want
One of the best reasons to choose a Clavinova CLP-800 Series piano is access to multiple pianos on a single instrument, from world-class concert grand pianos to fortepianos for a more authentic classical music experience. The CLP-800 Series is equipped with a new tone generator chip developed by Yamaha that deliver our highest-quality, most beautiful piano voices to date.
Experience the sensation of playing a living piano
The true pleasure of playing a grand piano is when the player can add expression to each and every note with total control over their touch and have the entire instrument respond by ringing out in full splendor.
Enveloped in textured, clear, grand piano-like sound
When a pianist plays a grand piano, they cause the entire body of the instrument to reverberate, and become enveloped in the colorful tones created from the combination of various acoustic elements in the air around them. The pianist becomes immersed in the diffusing sound and reverberation. CLP-800 Series pianos deliver this pleasant feeling through Grand Acoustic Imaging (to be explained later) and other distinct acoustic technologies. Moreover, a new tone generator chip allows fine-tuning and control of the sonic elements of each frequency band, dramatically improving the precision of sound design.
Keys and pedals that allow players to create the intended sound with the same feel as a grand piano
The keys and pedals are the interface between player and instrument. The keys and pedals of CLP Series pianos are designed to feel as similar to their grand piano counterparts as possible, so that the way they behave in response to input from the fingers and toes perfectly matches the resulting sound output.
Acoustic piano-like appearance
Among the myriad other design considerations, we have also deeply examined the relationship between the piano playing experience and the design of the instrument. Specifically, while our top-end Clavinova CLP-800 Series of digital pianos is modeled after grand pianos in terms of appearance, the playing experience is also designed so that players unquestioningly feel the natural sensations of playing grand pianos from the moment they sit down at the piano to the moment they finish playing and stand up.
