The CLP-800 Series
Turn your living room into a performance venue for a top-flight grand piano
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.
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.
GrandTouch/GrandTouch-S keys
The GrandTouch and GrandTouch-S keyboards were designed around the concept of “a keyboard with the feel of a grand piano action,” with the goal of allowing pianists to feel the keyboard with their fingertips in the same way as they would when playing a grand piano, and from there to create exactly the sound that they are looking for. Specifically, these keyboards are notable for their responsiveness, offering everything from light, delicately nuanced tones to boldly powerful notes in answer to the strength with which the pianist plays the keys. They replicate the pleasing response felt when the grand piano hammers strike the string, and are free of any wobble when pressed to their fullest extent. Highly absorbent synthetic-ivory white keys and synthetic-ebony black keys prevent slipping even during extended play and feel just like those of a grand piano.
The GrandTouch keyboards equipping the top models in the CLP Series feature the longest-ever pivot length on a Yamaha digital piano, ensuring that the keys are easy to play from the edge to the back. Finally, Yamaha’s 88-key Linear Graded Hammers are the only* digital piano technology that provide a distinct touch for each key with the same weight and return for the corresponding key on a grand piano.
Virtual Resonance Modeling
One of the allures of the grand piano is the sympathetic resonance created by the vibration of the entire instrument. CLP-800 Series pianos reproduce a richer, more natural resonance than ever before, featuring a new tone generator chip paired with a groundbreaking technology called Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM). VRM creates a richly varied sound by simulating the complex sympathetic tones created when the vibrations of the strings are propagated to the soundboard and other strings, corresponding to the timing and intensity of key playing and pedaling. This technology even replicates the sounds the dampers make when they are raised off the strings, in addition to the resonance of the duplex scaling, strings, soundboard, and case. CLP-800 Series pianos allow you to enjoy the same momentary dynamics and deep sympathetic sounds that are produced by the entire body of a grand piano.
Grand Expression Modeling
Grand Expression Modeling is 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.
The interaction and interplay of the hammers, dampers, and strings inside a grand piano respond to the intensity, speed, depth, and other subtle nuances of the pianist’s touch, creating a limitless range of tonal expression. This range comes from both types of tonal variation, the type controlled by the player and the type that occurs naturally as a result of physical phenomena happening inside the piano when it is played. When playing a grand piano, the pianist infuses their performance with different types of expression, from the force they apply when depressing the keys to what they decide to do with sustained notes in terms of releasing the keys to cut them or layering them with subsequent notes.
Simple tone generator algorithms on conventional digital pianos are not capable of this level of expression. On CLP-800 Series pianos, Grand Expression Modeling now senses the depth of the player’s touch on every key in addition to the intensity and speed to precisely calculate how a grand piano would respond physically to the nuances of the player’s input. As a result, players now have access to more capacity for musical expression than ever before on a digital piano.
