Yamaha Clavinova CLP-875 PE Black polished

Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial samples

The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-875 features samples from the world-renowned Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grands. Bösendorfer is a famous Viennese piano maker, founded in 1828, that later became part of Yamaha. The Yamaha CFX is characterized by a bright and expressive tone, while the Bösendorfer Imperial offers a warmer and more refined sound. All 88 keys have been meticulously sampled to capture the full harmonic nuances of these instruments.

Virtual Resonance Modelling (VRM)

Thanks to Yamaha’s groundbreaking Virtual Resonance Modelling technology, the sound and resonance of a real grand piano are uniquely reproduced. This system takes into account all interactions inside the instrument, such as string vibrations, the body and soundboard, as well as the sounds of dampers and pedals.

Grand Expression Modelling

With this new technology in the Clavinova CLP-800 series, the impact of the pianist’s technique on the sound is faithfully reproduced. Just like on an acoustic piano, the intensity and speed of the keystroke create limitless tonal variation, adding a new dimension to the musical experience.

Grand Acoustic Imaging

Thanks to Grand Acoustic Imaging technology, when playing the CLP-875 you are immersed in the same sound experience as when playing a grand piano. The bass, mid and treble speakers are perfectly balanced and positioned so that every sound is projected as if it comes from the exact location on a real grand. The hammers striking the strings, the vibrations and the reflections are all authentically reproduced.

GrandTouch keyboard with linear graded weighted keys

With the GrandTouch keyboard featuring wooden keys, you can enjoy an authentic and realistic playing feel. The white and black keys are coated with synthetic ivory and ebony, providing an absorbent texture that reduces the risk of slipping. The keyboard also includes an escapement (let-off) mechanism, just like a real acoustic piano. In addition, the GrandTouch keyboard has longer keys, giving pianists more leverage for greater dynamic control. Each individual key of the CLP-875 is linearly graded in weight, remarkably replicating the touch of a real grand piano.

Damper pedal with grand piano response

The CLP-875 features a damper pedal that continuously detects the depth of depression, allowing for a half-pedal function. The damper pedal with grand piano response reproduces the resistance curve of a grand: light at first and heavier as the pedal is pressed further. This enables the same nuances in performance as on an acoustic grand piano.

Smart Pianist app

The Smart Pianist app can be downloaded for free for use on tablets and smartphones. The app offers a user-friendly graphical interface and many extra functions for smooth use of your Yamaha Clavinova.

Bluetooth Audio and MIDI

Use your music apps on your Bluetooth device to play songs through the Clavinova’s speakers, or even play along. You can also connect wirelessly to the instrument using Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app.
