Clavinova CLP

Clavinova CLP Series brings the perfect piano sound to your home or studio. Its Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) tone generation uses multiple samples from a real grand piano to generate every note, and its Graded Hammer (GH) Effect gives each key a natural resistance that increases from the top keys to the bottom keys. Some models feature the Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) or Natural Wood (NW) Keyboard which render concert grand piano performance that is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. With a simple control panel and additional orchestral sounds every CLP model is a truly grand piano experience.

CLP-400 Series

Point.1Providing a piano-like playing feel via the RGE Sound Engine.

The CLP Series was created expressly to achieve a playing sensation you would get when playing a grand piano. Its RGE Sound Engine recorded all sounds from one carefully selected piano and refines them with careful attention to playing response and expressive capability. Additionally, keyboard touch is precisely calibrated and pedals are linked directly to changes of pressure and resonance. Integrating all these elements that make up a piano result in a superb playing experience.

Royal Academy of Music

Expressive capability is recognized by famed music schools worldwide.

The Royal Academy of Music and more than 700 other music institutions use Clavinova. The reasons why they choose Clavinova are, above all, the sound and touch. Clavinova models are excellent for students aiming to become top pianists, who must be able to practice without losing the sensation of a grand piano. Their natural resonances, performance feel and expressive capability are recognized by professionals around the world.

Point.2A performance piano developed with the player in mind.

The goal is a sound that is pleasant to play.

Yamaha does everything possible to create the optimum sound at the playing position. This requires precise attention to detail, extending from the selection of the piano to be sampled to the tuning of the recorded sound and the position of the speakers.

Playing loudly is not always preferred.

For those times when family members are studying, sleeping and so on, the Clavinova not only offers headphone jacks, but also an Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) function that lets you play with proper sound balance at low volumes.

Point.3Various features help you improve your playing.

Master popular songs with lesson features.

Stored inside your Clavinova are 50 well-known pieces of standard piano repertoire, including some often performed at recitals. You can listen to them as background music or take advantage of this collection of piano music to practice using lesson features.

1. Practice each hand independently

You can practice each hand separately while the Clavinova accompanies you to build proficiency.

2. Play at a reduced tempo

You can easily vary the tempo while maintaining the same pitch. Practicing difficult passages at a reduced tempo is a great way to build confidence.

3. Play a phrase repeatedly

You can play a difficult phrase over and over with the assistance of the built-in recordings. This is a great help in mastering the entire piece.

Practice using the recording function.

There are two recording methods: Recording to Internal Flash Memory records directly to the Clavinova and USB Audio Recording records to a USB memory device where the file can be transferred to a PC, then used in various ways.
