Grand Expression Modeling and GrandTouch pedals deliver expressive capabilities approaching those of a grand piano, along with the voices of two of the worlds finest grands: the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial.
With resonance and tone variation similar to a grand piano, the CLP-800 Series allows you to enjoy a 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. A full lineup of colors ensures that your piano will match your interior design.
Countless features designed to replicate the subtlest nuances of grand pianos bring the true pleasure of grand piano playing to a wider audience.
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. Players can experience the effects of Grand Expression Modeling by playing a song on a CLP-800 Series piano.
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.
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.
