Yamaha decided in 1983 to ‘Bring the joy of playing piano to everyone’. That goal led directly to the creation of the Clavinova digital piano. Clavinova can be loosely translated as ‘new keyboard instrument’ in Latin. Yamaha created an instrument that looked and felt like a piano but offered a wide range of exciting, inspirational new features.
Over the last quarter of a century, the Clavinova has evolved into the world’s most popular, powerful and empowering digital piano. It offers everything you need to play a simple piano piece or compose a complete orchestral score, thus encouraging the beginner and supporting the professional. Yamaha Clavinovas are renowned for the following:
Pure Sound Quality
Yamaha Clavinovas are renowned for their quality of sound. This is partly due to the Pure CF Sampling technique used for the sound source of the CLP models. Yamaha select a top-class concert grand CFIIIS piano, have an expert piano tuner tune it to the finest possible condition, then sample all sounds from this single piano.
Graded Hammer (GH) Keyboard
Yamaha created the GH keyboard to reproduce the 'feel' of a grand piano's keyboard action: a heavier touch on the lower keys and a lighter touch on the higher keys, with subtle variations of weight and texture. Throughout its development, the playing sensation was repeatedly adjusted with the input of skilled pianists. All Clavinova keyboard actions are based on the structure of the GH keyboard.
Clear Articulation
Through the subtle timing of the actions of its hammers and dampers, a grand piano allows you to play the same note repeatedly with perfect articulation. In order to reproduce this effect, the GH3 keyboard and the NW (Natural Wood) keyboard use Yamaha’s original Damper Sensor in addition to two sensors that detect keystroke strength. This lets you repeatedly play the same note at the same high speed as on a grand piano.
Natural Wood Keyboards
Clavinova's natural wood (NW) keyboards are produced using woodworking technology that Yamaha has perfected through decades of making acoustic pianos. The white keys are made from top quality wood cut from fully seasoned lumber. This minimizes keyboard vibration and distortion, while offering the solid playing sensation of a grand piano.
Non Slip Keytops
The synthetic ivory keytops used for the GH3 and NW keyboards have superior moisture absorbing properties, similar to the ivory keyboards used on concert grand pianos. In fact, even the texture felt by your fingertips is nearly identical. You receive the advantages of visual beauty and resistance to slipping for better performances.
