Yamaha Clavinova CLP-825 Grand Expression Modeling Digital Upright Piano with GrandTouch Pedals and Bench - Polished Ebony

---

Digital Never Felt So Grand

Grand Expression Modeling and GrandTouch pedals deliver expressive capabilities approaching those of a grand piano, along with the voices of two of the world's finest grands: the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial. Full range of digital piano functions, including Bluetooth audio.

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.

 

 

The Joy of Playing Clavinova Pianos

Practicing on Clavinova CLP Series pianos allows players to learn how the slightest variations in touch produce different tones just as they would on a grand piano, ultimately boosting their capacity for musical expression. Additionally, practice is exponentially more enjoyable with features unique to digital pianos, among them the ability to play with headphones and keep your surroundings quiet, record and play back your own playing with ease, explore the artistic intent of historical composers with fortepiano voices, and enjoy the wonderful feeling of playing in time with rhythms.

 

 

Supporting Technologies

Introducing Yamaha’s proprietary technologies for creating rich sound and outstanding responsiveness on a single, harmonically balanced instrument.

 

• Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM)
• Allows for vivid and richly-varied expression to reflect the limitless number of factors that create the sound of a concert grand piano.
• Grand Expression Modeling
• A groundbreaking technology that enables richly varied, textured musical expression in comparison to conventional digital pianos, which tend to offer little tonal variation, inevitably resulting in a rather flat output.
• Grand Acoustic Imaging and other acoustic technology
• Optimized placement, orientation, and volume balance of the speakers in the low, mid, and high frequency ranges—coupled with diffusers, waveguides, and Bidirectional Horns. These design features reproduce the reverberation and depth of natural sound in the surrounding space, creating a sound field close to that of a grand piano.
• GrandTouch-S™ Keyboard
• (With synthetic ebony and ivory key tops) Gives you the feeling of an acoustic grand's light to heavy weighted keys, allowing for more precise playability.
• GrandTouch™ pedals
• GrandTouch pedals leverage friction to enable that finesse and reduce the force required to hold the pedals in place, allowing players to feel the same resistance in their feet as on a grand piano when they depress and release them.
• Binaural Sampling Technology
• Delivers a three-dimensional sound, which recreates the perspective of the player position through headphones.
• Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial Piano samples
• Bring two of the world's finest and most prominent concert grand pianos to your fingertips.

 

 

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.
