PLAYABILITY
Featuring the latest GrandTouch™/GrandTouch-S™ keyboards with a broad dynamic range of touch and response on the level of a grand piano. Excellent consistency and nuanced expression give you the utmost control over touch.
GRANDTOUCH-S™ KEYBOARD
Our latest keyboard 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 your 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.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Clavinova pianos boast excellent playability and versatile functions, 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 design is the way the player feels when they take their seat in front of the instrument. Unnecessary elements are removed from your field of vision to create a convincingly natural space that feels just like sitting at an acoustic piano. And since the Clavinova will be part of your home, contemporary accents and color variation are available to mesh with any interior design or lifestyle.
The CSP-255 has a simple, stylish design that incorporates elegant piano-like curves and utilizes the absolute minimum set of controls.
SENSITIVITY
Thanks to Grand Expression Modeling, our groundbreaking new technology, you'll experience limitless tonal variations. Any variation in the intensity and speed of your touch, and you'll hear a nuanced difference in tone, one that's almost identical to a grand piano.
GRAND EXPRESSION MODELING
The interaction and interplay of the hammers, dampers, and strings inside a grand piano respond to the subtlest nuances of your touch, creating a limitless range of tonal expression. "Touch" refers to 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 Modeling introduced in the CSP-200 Series translates the widely varied input from your 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 Modeling excels at faithfully reproducing the output expected of these techniques in many well-known songs. In Debussy’s “Clair de Lune,” for example, 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.
SOUND QUALITY
Virtual Resonance Modeling performs real-time reproductions of the resonance created by the strings and body of the instrument - which are the foundation of a grand piano's beautiful sound. Combined with the latest acoustic design technology, you'll enjoy stunningly lifelike concert grand piano tone and feel.
YAMAHA CFX AND Bösendorfer IMPERIAL VOICES
Clavinova grand piano sounds are recorded from several world-renowned concert grand pianos. One of them is the CFX, our top-flight concert grand piano. Another sampled concert grand is the Imperial, the flagship model of Bösendorfer, 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
One of the allures of the grand piano is the sympathetic resonance created by the vibration of the entire instrument. Clavinova pianos elaborately reproduce this rich sympathetic resonance through 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. CSP-200 Series pianos even replicate 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 groundbreaking method of simulating sound in which special microphones capture the piano the way it sounds in reality.
This helps to create the ambience and the full, natural resonance of acoustic pianos in Clavinova pianos, making you feel as though your're are sitting at a grand piano, even with headphones on.
On CSP-200 Series pianos, binaural sampling was used for the Bösendorfer Imperial as well as the Yamaha CFX.
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.
