True Piano Playing Experience

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.

Such a playing experience is created by the complex interaction of the 8,000 parts that make up the instrument; Clavinova CLP-895GP replicate these physical phenomena with the help of Grand Expression Modeling and Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM), two of Yamaha’s proprietary digital technologies.

Players can experience the effects of Grand Expression Modeling on the CLP-89GP. For example, playing the many fast passages in Mozart’s “Piano Sonata No. 16 in C major”—a piece familiar to piano students—with the same light touch as you would on a grand piano results in a rolling, light-hearted tone, yet each note is clearly distinct from the others. When the same note is played repeatedly with the damper pedal down to sustain the sound, these pianos replicate the natural tonal variation produced by the physical phenomena in grand pianos by simulating the way the hammers strike strings that are already vibrating. This allows the player to add expression to repeated notes as if they were practicing on a grand piano, a useful option in places like the development of Beethoven’s "Für Elise."

Pianists can vary the output by playing the keys to different depths and with different speeds, even when using techniques such as trills or legato or emphasizing the melody over the accompaniment. Grand Expression Modeling excels at faithfully reproducing the output expected of these techniques in many well-known songs. In Debussy’s “Clair de Lune,” a loose touch creates the faint tone that makes the melody stand out more crisply. In Liszt’s “Un Sospiro,” the accompanying arpeggios accent the melody without overwhelming it, and varied expression of the melody gives it the same quality as vocals. In the last of the Chopin nocturnes, trills, legato, and other delicate techniques where fingers seem to float over the keys deliver the airy, smooth tonal expression required. Playing such pieces on a highly expressive piano helps the pianist learn various techniques and experience the same joy of expression as a painter, but through sound.

In the CLP-895GP, VRM also replicates the momentary dynamics and deep resonance that are produced by the entire body of a grand piano. With CLP Series pianos, enjoy a lush playing experience that is as close as it gets to a grand piano.

More Than Just Piano Sounds

Sounds can be layered or split either on the built-in LCD display or via the smart pianist app for ease of use and control.

GP Damper Response Pedal

The pianist controls the pedals to add expression to the music, and makes frequent fine adjustments to how deeply they depress them in order to create the envisioned sound.

On a grand piano, pedaling requires more force when depressing the pedal, with the pedal feeling lighter on the return. This is because lifting a heavy damper requires more power than lowering it. GrandTouch pedals differ significantly from those in previous CLP Series pianos in that they replicate not only the resistance on the toes when the pedals are depressed, but also how that resistance lessens as the pianist returns the pedals to their original positions. The CLP-895GP features the GP Response Damper that starts out light to the touch and grows heavier as it is depressed and the pedaling begins to take effect, just like on a grand piano. This gives players the physical feedback they need to master the delicate art of half-pedaling.

Binaural Sampling

Advanced Amplification System

Helping bring the sound to your ears is a super high quality speaker system comprised of spruce cone speakers made from the wood pulp used on grand piano sound boards. The system is made up with (16 cm + 8 cm with Waveguide + 2.5 cm (dome) with Waveguide) × 2, Spruce Cone Speaker. The sound vibrates through the sound panel board under the lid where you would normally find strings on a piano, and the sound emanates out as if it would the real strings on a piano. The CLp895GP is the only piano in the CLP range with this level of amplification.
