YAMAHA DIGITAL PIANO CLAVINOVA CVP-900 SERIES OVERVIEW

THE EXPERIENCE OF PLAYING WITH A FULL BACKING BAND

Go beyond simply playing the piano. Instead of performing solo, you’ll be backed by an ensemble of instruments. Created with our latest technology, the CVP-900 includes an array of Styles – or accompaniments – featuring authentic instrument Voices that perfectly match the key and timing of your performance.

ENDLESS ENJOYMENT FROM AN EXTENSIVE RANGE OF FEATURES

Connect a microphone and sing along as you play, follow along with built-in songs that are known around the world, connect to an app to record your performance, and so much more. The CVP Series comes packed with a variety of functions offering you endless ways to enjoy music.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS VOICES

From breathy saxophones to ringing guitars and warm, resonant strings, the CVP Series features an impressive collection of natural instrument Voices. Thanks to acclaimed Super Articulation technology, the distinctive characteristics of each instrument are reproduced in incredible detail as you play.

PIANO ROOM

In addition to allowing you to choose from a range of pianos, including both acoustic and electric instruments, the touch panel display lets you access different performance spaces such as halls and cathedrals, each with their own distinctive reverberation. Intuitive operation makes it easy to choose just the perfect piano sound for any piece.

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 Modeling introduced in the CVP-900 Series translates the widely varied input from the pianist’s fingers into the same limitless tonal variation of a grand piano.

GRANDTOUCH™ KEYBOARD

Yamaha’s latest keyboard action 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.

LEVERAGE ARTISTIC EXPRESSION

When playing a digital piano, the back area of the keys may prove to be a challenge to full musical expression. This is the same support length found on the Yamaha S3X premium grand piano.
*As of April 2023.

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.

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, 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 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.

GREAT PIANO SOUND, EVEN WHEN USING 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.
