The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
CFX + Bosendorfer. GrandTouch/GH3X. Virtual Resonance. Binaural headphones.
Binaural headphone mode - spatial depth of a $150K concert grand. Extraordinary for practice.
The flagship Clavinova is where Yamaha's acoustic piano heritage comes alive digitally. GrandTouch/GH3X action develops technique transferring to concert grands, CFX and Bosendorfer samples deliver inspiration making practice feel like performance. If an acoustic grand isn't practical, this is the closest experience - an instrument for decades of musical growth.

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
Digital never felt so grand. This phrase captures the identity of the Clavinova CLP Series. The defining features of the CLP Series are astoundingly advanced piano performance and sophistication as a single instrument that is able to accommodate a wide range of musical expression. Our mission is to convey the joy and pleasure of piano playing to more piano players by continuing to push the boundaries and make our digital pianos for the household market as close to grand pianos as possible.
The Joy of Playing Clavinova Pianos
People want to play grand pianos, but cannot because of restrictions at home. The Clavinova CLP Series solves this problem by delivering lush playing experiences similar to grand pianos. CLP Series pianos feature quality that meets the demands of high-level practice and playing and plenty of functions to make practice enjoyable and effective.
Clavinova Development Philosophy
Here, we introduce the unique development philosophy of replicating the capabilities of grand pianos on a digital piano to the extent possible, passed down through generations of Yamaha developers.
About CLP Design
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.
