Incredible Amplification - Bringing Sound to Life

The CSP-29GP has an astounding quality amplification system to bring to life all the high quality digital piano samples stored within the piano Opening the lid reveals part of the the triple amplified system and multiple speaker, allowing the sound to emanate from the soundboard area s if it would just on a real piano. Consisting of (50 W + 50 W + 40 W) x 2 amplifiers, twisted flare ports (for free flowing bass) and combined with spruce coned speaker, the CSP-295GPWH offers only the highest level of sound quality.

GrandTouch Keyboard

The CSP-295GP uses Yamaha's latest keyboard action - GrandTouch. It features a broad dynamic range and faithful response to every nuance of touch that puts a wide expanse of tone - from delicate to bold at the pianist's fingertips. The highly consistent grand piano hammers replicate the pleasing response felt when the hammers strike the strings, enabling precise control of the tone. 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.

GrandTouch keyboard features wooden keys that showcase Yamaha's expertise with wood for pianos. Just as with grand piano keyboards, the solid wood is cut from the very best parts of well-dried lumber, making the keys more resistant to warping than keyboards made of laminated wood. The wooden texture and structure of the keys create a more grand piano-like feel.

88-Key Linear Graded Hammers

Every single key on a grand piano keyboard is weighted differently. This is because the strings for each note are slightly thinner and shorter in the treble register, becoming thicker and longer towards the bass register. The 88-key Linear Graded Hammers of the Clavinova is the first-of-its-kind to faithfully duplicate this graded touch with differing weights and key return on each one of its keys. This results in a feel and response that is astonishingly like that of a grand piano, and allows players to gain an appreciation of a more authentic touch.

Key Counterweights

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.

The GP Response Damper Pedal

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. The CSP-295GP features a damper pedal that continually detects depression depth and allows half pedalling, which lets players make minute adjustments to pedal depression and return, changing the depth and character of their piano sound.

Grand Expression Modeling

The interaction and interplay of the hammers, dampers, and strings inside a grand piano respond to the subtlest nuances of the pianist's touch, creating a limitless range of tonal expression. Touch refers to the pianist's control, not only of intensity (softness/loudness) in playing and releasing the keys, but also of the speed and depth with which the keys are pressed. The Grand Expression Modelling feature in the CSP-295GP translates the widely varied input from the pianist's fingers into the same limitless tonal variation of a grand piano.

This makes it possible to 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 Modelling excels at faithfully reproducing the output expected of these techniques in many well-known songs.

Yamaha CFX And Bosendorfer Imperial Voices

The CSP-295GP baby grand piano boasts sounds recorded from several world-renowned concert grand pianos. One of them is the CFX, Yamaha's top-flight concert grand piano. Pianists around the world are enamored with the impressive, dazzling, richly expressive sound of the CFX in concert halls. Another sampled concert grand is the Imperial, the flagship model of Bosendorfer, a time-honored Viennese piano brand with an ardent following. The Imperial is known for its abundance of color and natural, warm feeling. Yamaha faithfully reproduces the idiosyncrasies of these concert grand pianos by carefully recording the entire tonal range of each of the 88 keys, making minute adjustments to capture the most harmonious tones each piano has to offer.

Virtual Resonance Modeling

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. The CSP-295GP 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. Clavinova pianos allow you to enjoy the same momentary dynamics and deep sympathetic sounds that are produced by the entire body of a grand piano.

Binaural Sampling For Authentic Piano Sound, Even With Headphones

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. 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 the CSP-295GP pianos, binaural sampling was used for the Bosendorfer Imperial as well as the Yamaha CFX Grand. Yamaha achieves higher-definition binaural sound with a specially developed mannequin head and model ears used for the recording.

Yamaha 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.
