Clavinova,Yamaha Digital Piano

Yamaha Dig i t a l P iano CLP & CVP Se r ie s

Yamaha’s piano-making skills are recognized worldwide.Yamaha’s concert grand piano, the CFX, was selected and played by the 2010 winner of the International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition, one of the world’s top piano competitions. Its fame validates the high standard of quality developed by Yamaha over its 100-year history of piano manufacturing. The skill of Yamaha craftsmen is the origin of Clavinova’s expressive capabilities.

The expressive capabilities of Clavinova are the result of

more than a century of piano craftsmanship, skill and spirit.

What is beautiful resonance? What is superb playing feel? Yamaha has been pursuing

the answers to these questions for more than a century, continually refining our

technical and conceptual approach to creating pianos.

Our total commitment to sound, which is the foundation of our craftsmanship, is

embodied in all the Yamaha pianos that are played in concert halls and homes around

the world. Over 100 years of piano building knowledge has been thoroughly

incorporated into Clavinova.

When you play a grand piano, you are immersed in the sound

because of the broad and deep resonances the soundboard

creates. These effects are reproduced

by the GP Soundboard Speaker.

Because the sound emanates from the

back of the piano, you can enjoy

three-dimensional sound reminiscent

of an acoustic grand piano.

The built-in XG music source lets you play with songs of your

choice, like an orchestra by playing back the corresponding

song data. You will find a broad lineup of XG-compatible song

files at Yamaha’s web site, yamahamusicsoft.com. You can

download and purchase pieces you want to play anytime. Note: See page 41 for details about Yamaha MusicSoft

In addition to the NW (Natural Wood) keyboard finished

with synthetic ivory keytops, the 88-key Linear Graded

Hammers reproduce the unique individual key weights

found in acoustic pianos where no two keys are the same.

The texture of the keytops provide a touch that allows your

fingers to grip the keys like the classic ivory keytops on

pianos of another era. The CLP-480 also has a GP Response

Damper Pedal designed with the mechanical resistance felt

when lifting all of the dampers inside a grand piano. By

allowing you to finely control sustain in this way, you can

give rich, emotional performances. Specialized acoustic

systems, such as the Tri-Amp System and GP Soundboard

Speaker, take full advantage of the RGE Sound Engine, a

piano sound source created

through Yamaha’s long musical

expertise. This Clavinova will give

you a superb grand piano playing

experience.

The GP Soundboard Speaker produces broad resonance with the depth of a grand piano.

This piano was designed with scrupulous attention to its

gorgeous grand piano-like exterior, including all details such

as the adjustable lid that can be opened and closed, the

pedals and the legs. Another attractive feature is its luxurious

polished finish, which produces deep reflective brilliance.

This lush texture is a result of Yamaha’s exclusive coating

technology nurtured through a long history of building

acoustic pianos. It is a Clavinova so grand, any room can

become your own private recital hall.

Elegant style brings you closer to the pride of owning a grand piano.

The grand piano Voices of a Clavinova were obtained by recording the sounds of a Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano. A single piano best suited for recording was hand selected then tuned to the finest possible condition by a veteran piano tuner. All the sounds were recorded with meticulous detail resulting a beautiful, harmonious piano Voice.

An acoustic piano is a musical instrument whose sounds decay over a long period. The strength of touch not only varies the volume, but also the timbre from bright to dark, creating rich expressiveness. Clavinova produces deep resonances by using piano sounds that have been accurately recorded for their entire length. Proprietary technology creates smooth and dynamic changes according to the strength of a key strike. Additionally, to achieve grand piano performance, the touch was carefully refined by many pianists who played it and gave their feedback for Yamaha’s research and development.

The Clavinova uses the Real Grand Expression (RGE) Sound Engine, the next-generation piano sound source that lets you enjoy the playing response and expressive capability of a concert grand piano. It features Smooth Release, a new feature that can express sound with great clarity, and enunciates staccato notes with the sound of lingering resonance heard when gently lifting your fingers from the keys. It captures the essence of acoustic piano performance to create a grand piano-like, richly expressive experience.

Dynamic change of tone is dependent on touch.

The RGE Sound Engine delivers the ultimate expressive capability.

Piano voices embody the careful attention only a piano manufacturer can give.

Tone Real Grand Expression

Real Grand Expression. This phrase defines the

expressive capability of Clavinova. It is not only

the full realization of the tone, the touch and the

pedals, but the application of technologies

nurtured by crafting acoustic pianos for more than

a century to perfectly integrate these three

elements into a single instrument. This piano

produces the exact sound you want through the

touch of the keys and the feel of the pedals. To

play a new Clavinoa is to experience Real Grand

Expression.

Clavinova subtly reproduces even the unique resonances of an acoustic piano. It features String Resonance* that expresses the sympathetic sounds of the other strings resonating, and Key-Off samples* that actually deliver the delicate change in sound the instant the damper falls back to the string. The addition of these sounds results in tonal resonances that are not only beautiful, but also deep and rich.

When you play fast phrases or superimpose chords while pressing the damper pedal, you want to be able to perform without notes dropping out. The Clavinova provides 256-note polyphony so you can enjoy complex works such as those by Liszt or Ravel, which feature numerous pedal presses, without limitations. As your playing improves over the years, your Clavinova will continue to let you make the most of your abilities.

Because Yamaha places so much importance on the joy of playing, the speakers, amps and other acoustic systems have been optimized so the player hears nothing but stunning sound during a performance. The resulting sound gives the impression that the Clavinova is more acoustic than it is digital.

A good piano lets you hear every sound within the piece clearly and beautifully. Clavinova’s Tri-Amp System makes this possible by using dedicated amplifiers to drive three separate speaker systems for the three independent frequency ranges. This method can be appreciated by audiophiles and piano purists alike as it ensures that you will hear all the subtle nuances of your performance.

When you play an acoutic grand piano, you are immersed in the sound because of the broad and deep vibrations created by the soundboard. These effects are reproduced by the GP Soundboard Speaker. Because the sound emanates from the back of the piano, you can enjoy a deep, three-dimensional grand

piano sound.

Volume adjustment is convenient for playing at home, where sometimes others may prefer you to play softly. You’ve probably experienced the fact that when the volume is low, it is difficult to hear treble and bass. On a Clavinova, however, the Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) automatically adjusts the sound so you experience proper sound balance even at low volumes. Additionally, the volume dial automatically makes fine adjustments to the overall sound of the speaker system (EQ) at low volume. This ability to adjust volume without losing the rich and balanced sound is an exclusive Yamaha benefit, ensuring you always play with the utmost sound quality.

Subtly reproduces resonances with the depth you hear from an acoustic piano.

The GP Soundboard Speaker* produces broad resonance with the depth of a grand piano.

The touch of the Clavinova keyboard has been praised by pianists for a performance feel that makes you forget it’s a digital piano. The secret behind this superior feel is the same hammering system and spring-less mechanism as a grand piano. Depending on the weight of the hammer, the force of your touch and the natural key return when you release it, the Clavinova faithfully reproduces the acoustic piano touch from the heavy feel in the lower range to the light feel in the higher range. Also important is Yamaha’s unique three-sensor system,which greatly monitors key position for an increased level of responsiveness. Whether rapidly re-striking a single note or trilling between two notes, GH3 allows you to play with a bright, vivid feel.

The Clavinova NW (Natural Wood) keyboard* could only be made by Yamaha, with woodworking techniques perfected from over a century of building fine acoustic pianos. Like a grand piano, the keys are made of solid wood that has undergone the long drying process required for use in a musical instrument. By selecting only the highest quality sections of each piece of wood, keys that are more resistant to warping and deforming than those of laminated wooden keyboards are created. The keys have three sensors, like the GH3 keyboard, that amplify sensitivity to the pianist playing them. Combined with the solid texture of wood, this provides an outstanding playing experience and performance.

Pianists enjoy a touch that clings firmly to their fingers, just like the ivory keyboards historically used in top-class pianos. Synthetic ivory

keytops feature a soft, slightly porous surface that gives all keys added grip and natural friction for improved ease in playing, especially during long performances or practice sessions. The keys’ smooth, refined texture imparts a feeling of luxury and is easy to clean.

Each key in the Clavinova keyboard has a unique weight. On a traditional acoustic piano, the strings are short and narrow in the treble section and get progressively thicker and longer in the bass section. To produce an even sound, the hammers hitting the keys become larger from low to high. Thanks to the 88-key Linear Graded Hammers, this is the first digital piano to precisely recreate the keyboard touch of a grand piano where the weight, touch and return of every key is different. Since the experience is extremely close to that of a grand piano, you can achieve better playing technique.

The keyboard must respond perfectly to the touch of your fingers so the notes sound just as you intend. Because the keyboard plays such a critical role, it must allow you to play smoothly and maintain good touch for long periods of time. That’s why all 88 keys are equipped with Keyboard Stabilizers. This not only lets you play with a natural touch, it greatly improves the stability and durability of the keys.

The keys provide a pleasing touch down to the base, because the distance from the tip of the key to the fulcrum is extremely long. When playing a piece that uses many black keys, even when you press a white key near its base, the key sinks softly, maintaining the delicate nuances of soft and hard key strokes.

The damper pedal is an important piano-playing element because it continuously varies the sound as you press it down. The Clavinova provides acoustic piano behavior by constantly detecting the amount of pedal travel and finely adjusting the amount of note elongation and reverberation. Additionally, the GP Response Damper Pedal reproduces the typical grand piano feeling, for example less resistance when starting to press and a heavy feeling when the pedal begins to take effect. As a result, players achieve greater control when operating the damper pedal.

Stereo Sustain samples* provide the soundboard ambience created as you depress the damper pedal. Damper Resonance similarly produces broad and deep resonances when the pedal is used. The result is highly realistic, acoustic piano sonic experience. You will even hear the subtle changes that occur according to whether the player begins to press the pedal before or after striking a key. You can enjoy playing impressionistic pieces, such as those by Debussy or Ravel, where half-pedal expression is important.

In addition to being compact and not requiring tuning, Clavinova models provide volume adjustment and two headphone jacks so you can listen to your children practice or enjoy playing duets in private. A metronome and other features help you improve your piano skills.

Multiple piano voices are built in so you can select the kind of piano that suits the genre you want to play without having to adjust the sound. The CLP Series digital piano Voices include many realistic, music-based instrument Voices, such as those handed down directly from Yamaha’s CP1 Stage Piano. The CVP Series have additional Voices that let you express sounds unique to various musical instruments like the guitar fret noise or the breathing of a saxophone player.*

Clavinovas have a USB TO DEVICE port for plugging-in USB memory devices and a USB TO HOST port for connecting to a computer via USB cable. They provide a way to conveniently store performance data and transfer other data between your Clavinova and computer or other Clavinovas.

The new Clavinovas reduce power consumption from previous models by using high efficiency amplifiers. Not only do these amplifiers save energy, they also improve sound quality. The more you play, the more you will appreciate this energy-saving performance.
