What Is the Clavinova CLP Series?
The Clavinova CLP Series aims to replicate the sensations and experience of playing an acoustic grand piano on digital instruments by combining the latest digital technology with the craft of acoustic piano-making cultivated over more than 120 years.
Digital Never Felt So Grand
Classical music is one of the most demanding musical genres in terms of expression. Grand pianos possess an almost limitless range of expressive capabilities, and so they are the instrument of choice among master classical pianists.
Our development of digital pianos is founded on more than an intimate knowledge of the grand pianos on which they are based, and goes further than simply imitating the shapes of these instruments. It must, because digital pianos have no strings, no hammers, and no soundboard; they produce sound in a completely different way from grand pianos. What we rely on, then, is our deep understanding of what it means to express oneself musically on a piano. In our pursuit of such a deep understanding, our thoughts turn to the sensitivities of pianists who are thrilled to express themselves on pianos, and we create instruments capable of harnessing their excitement and giving a voice to their expression.
The Clavinova playing experience has improved dramatically with each new model thanks to the wisdom and skills learned and passed down through generations of developers and reflected in the creation of the instruments. However, it is no easy task to replicate the experience of playing a grand piano with digital technology.
The intent behind the phrase “Digital Never Felt So Grand” is to highlight the quality of the experience of the digital pianos we sell now, which in the moment are as close to playing grand pianos as ever before. And Clavinova will continue to evolve so that the next model is even closer.
The Joy of Playing Clavinova Pianos
The best way to learn to play the piano is to practice on a grand piano. Grand pianos allow an unlimited range of musical expression, so through serious practice, players naturally learn the skills it takes to draw out different kinds of expression and play what they envision. This is akin to having an unlimited palette of colors at hand for drawing or painting.
Practicing on Clavinova CLP Series pianos allows players to learn how the slightest variations in touch produce different tones just as they would on a grand piano, ultimately boosting their capacity for musical expression. Additionally, practice is exponentially more enjoyable with features unique to digital pianos, among them the ability to play with headphones and keep your surroundings quiet, record and play back your own playing with ease, explore the artistic intent of historical composers with fortepiano voices, and enjoy the wonderful feeling of playing in time with rhythms.
Piano players treasure the joy of expressing themselves to the fullest. We invite you to enjoy the lush experience of playing a CLP Series piano.

About CLP Design
A person who plays Yamaha Clavinova CLP-875PE while looking at sheet music
The Clavinova CLP Series boasts excellent playability along with a refined, authentic design that blends a compact form with modern aesthetics in a manner befitting the instrument that sets the contemporary standard for pianos. At the heart of the Clavinova design concept is the way the player feels when they take their seat in front of a Clavinova piano. Unnecessary elements are removed from the player’s field of view to create a convincingly natural space that feels just like sitting at an acoustic piano. This represents Yamaha’s consideration to players who practice on Clavinova and perform on grand pianos—they are able to take the stage free of tension or worry because everything feels normal, as it should. A Clavinova piano is a part of the player’s everyday life—contemporary accents and color variation are available to mesh with any interior design or lifestyle.
User Testimonials for Previous CLP Series Pianos
Here is what users of CLP-700 Series pianos have to say about their purchases.
(The CLP-800 Series will be released in June 2024; there are no user testimonials for the latest models at this time.)
· I used to play an upright piano, but the touch of the keys on this digital piano is hardly distinguishable from an acoustic piano. The sound seems deeper and more resonant than my upright piano. I can adjust the volume, too, so I can go full bore into practice at any time. (Purchased model: CLP-735)
· I decided on a Clavinova because I could not do soundproofing or the other things needed to accommodate a grand piano. Within one second of trying it out I knew the CLP-785 was the digital piano for me. I thought it was wonderful that they simulated the grand piano touch so faithfully. What a great alternative to an acoustic piano. (Purchased model: CLP-785)
· The moment I plugged the headphones in, a new sound, new world opened to me. It felt like being right there - in front of the Yamaha CFX piano…right there, on the stage. Right there! Unbelievable sound. Impressed! (Purchased model: CLP-735)
· Piano sounds with lots of dynamics and fine sound details. As a professional pianist, I only have time to play early in the morning or late in the evening which means that digital piano is the only option for me. The CLP-745 is as “real” as an acoustic model. An advanced player will probably notice the difference to an acoustic piano, but they would definitely have fun playing this one too! (Purchased model: CLP-745)
· I put on headphones to play at night and had to take them off several times to make sure that the sound was actually coming from the headphones. The sound in the headphones is so spatial that I thought the sound was not coming from the headphones but from the piano. (Purchased model: CLP-785)
· Even though I practiced regularly at home on my upright, I always struggled with the difference in touch on my piano teacher’s grand piano at my monthly lessons. This digital piano solved the problem. It was a great purchase! (Purchased model: CLP-785)
