CLP885 Playability

GRAND EXPERIENCE

Enjoy the extraordinarily realistic touch and feel of a grand piano through the combination of the GrandTouch keyboard with wooden keys, GrandTouch pedal, and GP Response Damper. The GrandTouch keyboard's escapement provides a satisfying click when keys are pressed, a sensation unique to grand pianos, while the light-to-heavy counterweighted keys ensure precise playability.


IMMERSIVE SOUND

Enjoy immersive sound through a 3-way speaker system with diffuser technology. The binaurally sampled Bösendorfer and CFX Voices with Grand Expression Modeling, combined with Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM), delivers vivid and richly varied tones, capturing the countless nuances of a concert grand piano.

Counterweights are embedded in the keys of a grand piano to balance the weight of the hammers and offer more precise control when playing delicately at low volumes. The Clavinova features carefully adjusted counterweights for improved playability when playing pianissimo with a light touch, and better key return in rapid passages. The keyboard of the Clavinova has been fine-tuned to offer optimal balance, emphasizing its superb playability and grand piano response.

TIMELESS BEAUTY

The CLP-885 is beautifully crafted with a classic aesthetic while delivering a contemporary user experience. Its space-saving, taller acoustic cabinet features a folding soft-close fallboard and elegant upright style. The intuitive UI with a hidden touch LCD display ensures effortless navigation, blending seamlessly into the piano's sophisticated design.

The escapement mechanism in a grand piano moves the hammers away from the strings quickly after they strike them, in order to prevent any interference with string vibration. This mechanism produces a slight clicking sensation when the keys are pressed gently.

The Clavinova keyboards feature an escapement mechanism that reproduces this sensation near the bottom of the key dip. They have been designed in such a way that the click is discernible only on the lightest keystrokes, similar to the keyboard of a grand piano. These keyboards have been adjusted to provide additional friction that balances key repetition and response without impeding performance.

SMART PIANIST WITH POWERFUL SHEET MUSIC READER TECHNOLOGY

Enjoy the Clavinova even more with Smart Pianist, an exclusive app from Yamaha. This robust app includes Sheet Music Reader technology, which plays the notes of any "You Are The Artist" sheet music on your smart device. You can also control every feature and setting of your instrument with Smart Pianist, as well as learn to play hundreds of popular songs with its built-in lessons.


Using the damper pedal subtly alters the nature of a piano’s sound and is essential to providing the pianist with all the necessary expressive tools to convey their musical vision.

Clavinova digital pianos feature a damper pedal that continually detects depression depth and allows halfpedaling, which lets players make minute adjustments to pedal depression and return, changing the depth and character of their piano sound.

The GP Response Damper Pedal offers a grand piano-style resistance curve, starting out light to the touch and growing heavier as the pedal is depressed further. This allows players to become accustomed to the nuances of delicate pedaling.

The touch panel only displays text when it is on—when the panel is off, it has the smooth finish of a keyblock.

Binaural sampling is a method of sampling in which special microphones are placed on a mannequin’s head in the same positions as the pianist’s ears to capture piano sounds the way that they sound in reality.

We chose this method to create the ambience and full, natural resonance of acoustic pianos in Clavinova pianos. This makes pianists feel as though they are sitting at a grand piano even when they play with headphones on. The experience is so pleasant that they forget they are wearing headphones, no matter how long they continue to play.

On CLP-800 Series pianos, binaural sampling was used for the Bösendorfer Imperial as well as the Yamaha CFX. Yamaha achieves higher-definition binaural sound with a specially developed mannequin head and model ears used for the recording.

We also developed the Stereophonic Optimizer function to achieve the same effect for the piano effects. Stereophonic Optimizer technology replicates the natural diffusion of sound in headphones nearly as closely as binaural sampling for the piano voices other than the CFX and Imperial.


The Yamaha CLP-885 is equipped with the voices of the fortepiano, the predecessor to the modern piano. The sounds emitted by a fortepiano are simpler than those of a modern piano, and decay much more rapidly. Hearing the sounds of the instruments played when the likes of Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin were composing their songs should illuminate the original intent behind the notes on the page. Here is a novel opportunity to communicate with historical composers by playing these period instruments.

*These models are equipped with the voices of four fortepianos beloved by Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, and Scarlatti.

The fortepianos shown in the picture are from the collections of at the Hamamatsu Museum of Musical Instruments.
