The complete grand performance grand piano experience - headphones are also available

Now, Yamaha's advanced binaural sampling technology is also available in Clavinova. This technology is used to sample the sound source of Yamaha's most acclaimed performance grand piano, CFX, using a special microphone to capture position information and other subtle differences that the human ear ignores, creating a sound that is so natural and perfectly enveloping that you'll soon forget He was actually wearing headphones.

Diversity is the exciting color in life

The CSP-170 features hundreds of high-quality instrument sounds, including sound samples specially adapted to the instrument type, such as "Natural!", "Sweet!" and "Cool!". Yamaha's Super Articulate Voice (SA) adds features that only appear when a real instrument is played, as if a performer is playing the instrument, rather than purely from the piano keyboard, such as the glissando and slap of a guitar, the suction and sound of wind instruments. glissando. Simply by changing your touch, changing your playing technique, or using the foot pedal, SA Voices can add a more realistic look to your sound.

Graded Hammer 3X Keyboard (GH3X)

The CSP-150's keyboard feel has been praised by pianists alike, making you forget you're playing a digital piano, bringing true responsive force and natural key response to your touch. Utilizing the same hammer system and springless mechanism as a grand piano, the GH3X mechanism accurately reproduces the feel of an acoustic piano from the heavier bass range to the lighter upper octave.

The escapement mechanism of the Clavinova keyboard

The escapement mechanism in a grand piano allows the hammers to lift quickly after being struck, avoiding any interference with the vibration of the strings. This mechanism produces a slight click when the keys are tapped. Given the exceptional sound, touch and pedal that the Real Grand Expression brings to the player, we decided to create the escapement without compromising performance, offering outstanding playability, repeatability and response. Clavinova keyboards feature an escapement mechanism that reproduces this feel near the bottom of the keyboard, designed to click only on the lightest key strokes, like a grand piano keyboard. These keyboards are tuned to provide extra friction that balances the repeatability and responsiveness of the keys without hindering performance.

Simulated ivory and ebony keyboard tops - feel comfortable even after long hours of play

The sensitivity of the fingers is much higher than we think, so the texture of the keys is very important to the pianist. The NWX keyboard is equipped with white keys developed by Yamaha with high-quality simulated ivory material. The key surface can reproduce the surface touch of ivory keyboards on acoustic pianos in the past. Ideal texture and touch. This Yamaha-exclusive technology is derived from over a hundred years of piano making to produce such natural and comfortable results. In addition to the tactile feel, the appearance and delicate texture of the keys are unmatched by other digital pianos, and will surely impress the player at the moment of actual experience.

Keyboard Stabilizer—A unique mechanism developed by Yamaha to enhance keyboard stability and durability

The keyboard plays a very important role in translating emotion from fingertips to sound. In order to maintain an excellent tactile feel after playing for a long time, the keys must be played very smoothly, which is why Yamaha has installed keyboard stabilizers on all 88 keys to provide the player with a natural touch, And strengthen the stability and durability of the keyboard.

A sound that truly resonates with the listener

In a grand piano, the strings and sound resonate with the rich reverberation from the whole body, which surrounds the listener. It's not just the strings you play that vibrate, but other strings that follow, which is why the piano sound is so sophisticated and rich.

Clavinova is equipped with a Virtual Resonance System (VRM), which perfectly reproduces this articulation pattern by calculating the vibration of the strings on 88 keys from each moment to the next. As a result, the Clavinova reflects the innumerable and varied variables that affect articulation when playing an acoustic piano, such as the key pressed, how hard the key is played, and the timing of when the pedal is pressed.

Acoustic Optimizer

The horn attached to the body will cause a situation: without any additional operation, the volume of the sound will increase due to the resonance of the body; on the contrary, if a pipe with the same resonance frequency is installed in the body, it can be suppressed This resonance. Acoustic optimizers are used for this phenomenon.

This sound improvement technology is made possible thanks to Yamaha's in-depth knowledge of the acoustic properties of instruments.
