Yamaha CSP-170 Satin White digital Piano - The sound of some of the finest concert grand pianos in the world
With two world-renowned concert grand pianos available at the touch of a button, the CSP Series lets you choose the perfect piano tone for the music you want to play. Offering far more than just sampled sounds, the CSP Series reproduces the Yamaha CFX concert grand and the legendary Bӧsendorfer Imperial in meticulous detail.
Yamaha CSP-170 Satin White digital Piano - A fully immersive concert grand experience-even with headphones
Yamaha's advanced binaural sampling technology is now available on the Clavinova. The technology uses samples from the CFX, Yamaha's acclaimed concert grand piano, recorded with specialized microphones that capture locational information and other nuances discerned by the human ear. The resulting sound is so natural, so enveloping, that you'll soon forget you're even wearing headphones at all.
Yamaha CSP-170 Satin White digital Piano - Variety is the spice of life
The CSP-170 Satin White features hundreds of high-quality instrument Voices including "Natural!", "Sweet!" and "Cool!" Voices sampled specially to compliment the instrument types. Yamaha's Super Articulation Voices (SA) add genuine performance attributes of the real musical instruments as though they were being naturally performed by a virtuoso of that instrument instead of from the keys of a piano keyboard. Examples include "fret noise" or "body knocks" from a guitar or the "inhales", "exhales" and glissandos from wind instruments. By simply varying your touch and playing techniques or using the pedals, SA voices will add significant authenticity to your sound.

One of the defining features of a CSP Clavinova is the multitude of different Styles that can be controlled in real-time by playing chords on the keyboard. Accompaniment Styles introduce ensembles of virtual musicians to your performances in a variety of musical genres. From small jazz ensembles to full orchestras, you control what chords or harmony they play by what you play, plus you control the dynamic of the ensemble. Developed by professional session musicians from around the world, Styles add authentic, studio-quality backing players to your performances - even when you play by yourself.

Yamaha CSP-170 Satin White digital Piano - Natural Wood X keyboard-the feel of an acoustic grand
Natural Wood X (NWX) keyboards are created using unrivaled expertise that Yamaha has acquired through more than a century of crafting fine pianos.
Just as with grand pianos, the material used for Natural Wood X keyboards is cut from wood that has been carefully dried specifically for use in making musical instruments. Only the best wood from the finest part of each tree is selected, resulting in a keyboard that is more resistant to buckling and warping than common laminated wood keyboards.
The Yamaha Natural Wood X keyboard features the same action and three-sensor configuration as Graded Hammer 3X keyboards, which accurately senses and interprets the behavior of the keyboard for a response that feels very similar to that of a grand piano. This allows you to vividly perform smooth, flowing passages or light trills, techniques used in many pieces such as Für Elise.
Yamaha CSP-170 Satin White digital Piano - Escapement mechanism of Clavinova Keyboards
The escapement mechanism in a grand piano moves the hammers away from the strings quickly after they strike them, in order to prevent any interference with string vibration. This mechanism produces a slight clicking sensation when the keys are pressed gently. Since Real Grand Expression offers players superb sound, touch and pedaling, we decided to create an escapement that delivers outstanding playability, repetition, and response without impeding performance. The Clavinova keyboards feature an escapement mechanism that reproduces this sensation near the bottom of the key dip. They have been designed in such a way that the click is discernible only on the lightest keystrokes, similar to the keyboard of a grand piano. These keyboards have been adjusted to provide additional friction that balances key repetition and response without impeding performance.
Yamaha CSP-170 Satin White digital Piano - Synthetic ivory and ebony keytops-a pleasure to play even after hours of performance
Our fingers are more sensitive than we think, and for pianists, the texture of the piano keys is extremely important. The NWX keyboard features white keys made from the highest quality synthetic ivory, developed independently by Yamaha. The black keys are finished in synthetic ebony. Synthetic ivory keytops reproduce the tactile surface of the real ivory keyboards once used in older acoustic pianos. It features highly absorbent material that prevents fingers from slipping even after hours of practice, while retaining the ideal texture and feel. Resulting from well over a century of experience in making acoustic pianos, this exclusive Yamaha technology achieves a finish that feels natural and comfortable. In addition to the feel, the appearance and fine texture of these keys is unmatched by any other digital piano, and is sure to inspire pianists from the moment they experience it.
Yamaha CSP-170 Satin White digital Piano - Keyboard Stabilizers-unique Yamaha mechanisms for improved keyboard stability and durability
Keyboards fulfill the vital role of transforming emotion from your fingertips into sound and therefore, must be smooth to play in order to maintain superb touch for prolonged performances. That is why Yamaha has fitted Keyboard Stabilizers to all 88 keys, offering players a natural touch and improving the stability and durability of the keyboard.
Yamaha CSP-170 Satin White digital Piano - For a sound that truly resonates with the listener
In a grand piano, strings and sounds resonate throughout the entire body of the instrument producing a rich reverberation that envelops the listener in sound. Not only are the strings you are playing vibrating, but other strings ring as a reaction to ones you play. This is one reason the piano's sound is so complex and rich.
This phenomenon is reproduced perfectly in the Clavinova through Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) which calculates the various states of the strings for each of the 88 notes on the keyboard from one instant to the next. As a result, the Clavinova reflects the limitless number of factors inherent in playing an acoustic piano such as which keys are pressed, the strength with which the keys are played and pedal timing.
Yamaha CSP-170 Satin White digital Piano - Acoustic Optimizer
The speakers attached to the body exhibit a phenomenon in which, if nothing is done, the volume of the sound will increase due to the resonant frequency of the body. Conversely, installing pipes with the same resonant frequency within the body suppresses this resonance. Acoustic optimizers utilize this phenomenon.
This improvement of the sound is something that has only been possible thanks to Yamaha‘s thorough knowledge of the internal acoustic characteristics of musical instruments.
Yamaha CSP-170 Satin White digital Piano - Sing in perfect Harmony… with yourself!
You can enjoy karaoke backing with songs stored in your Clavinova or downloaded from YamahaMusicsoft.com. The lyrics are shown on the Smart Pianist app and the words change color as the song advances, so you know exactly when to come in.
Plug in a microphone, and you can sing along with your playing. The Vocal Harmony engine creates advanced sounding harmonies, enriching your voice and is even capable of correcting your pitch!

Additionally, you can record up to 16 tracks for simultaneous playback, so different hands can be recorded separately or overdub parts with different Voices.

CSP-170 Practical Application
Yamaha CSP series piano Quick look - song mode
Staff Review by Alan Hamilton
I visited Yamaha Music's head Office on the 3rd September 2017 to attend the launch of the new Yamaha CSP series pianos
It's fair to say I have attended lots of new product launches since I took over A&C Hamilton Musical Instruments in 1989, I have always enjoyed them and I'm always amazed by the improvements I have seen.
The Yamaha CSP digital piano is a very different idea. Although nothing is truly unique the idea to bring them altogether in 1 package is! Every single objection that I could have to the concept has been dealt with.
The Yamaha CSP170 is so good I bought one
I delivered my piano to myself on Saturday so I could have the weekend fiddling with it
There were several reasons why I decided to buy this piano.
- I can play keyboard and a little guitar so I understand chords
- I can read music but slowly and I have to work at it
- I would like to be able to play in a band one day
- at 55 things are starting to slow down - playing piano is excellent exercise for the fingers
- I'm an average player but I want to get better
The Yamaha CSP170 is a piano and you can access the important sounds by using the function button and pressing notes to get variations. You do not need an Ipad to play it as a piano
Connecting the Ipad is easy and automatic - Open the Smart Pianist App and it's done
The App is organised into 4 main groups
- Piano Room - let's you adjust the Piano to suit your ear, add reverb andjust the lid etc.
- Voice - Choose from hundreds of sounds, layer and split, change effects
- Style - I was so impressed with the quality of styles and all can be played piano or keyboard technique and there's hundreds of them
- Song - This is a huge section and extremely versatile. There's loads of piano excercises, Classical pieces, popular pieces and if that's not enough you can add you own
I have a simple philosopy - the more I play the better I'm going to get. However this isn't quite true and neither is "practice makes perfect". Perfect practice makes perfect.. a subtle differance.
With the Yamaha CSP170 I can improve more for the same amount of time playing and here's why
Yamaha have taken a tried and trusted piano teaching system developed by great piano teachers over decades, they haven't tried to re-invent the wheel here. I don't have masses of books everywhere but I have loads of practice pieces to improve my sight reading, technique and timing. Complicated patterns are easy to understand because I can see and hear them
Yamaha have included loads of high quality midi files with tunes to suit every one, again I can improve my sight reading and timing. Because I'm practicing technique with the `Lessons` learning my favourite songs will be easier. I'm loving the beautiful arrangements, it inspires me!
All the built in tunes have lyrics so I can sing the right words
If I want to accompany myself the chords can also be shown on the lyric display and this demonstrates another area I wish to improve. Playing the melody whilst I'm singing is bad practice, I should accompany the singer not play the same note. The chord information allows me to do this. It also makes me listen for chord changes which improves my ear. I can play arpegios, broken chord or simple harmonies because I have the chord information there
This leads us onto another amazing facility. The CSP170 can play audio files. What's really clever is that it can work out the chords for you and display them on the screen whilst the tune plays. If your`re not comfortable with the key you can transpose the tune and the chords at the same time and play in a key your`re more comfortable with
After running a music school for nearly 30 years hearing teachers and students views on how they want to enjoy playing I can honestly say that this instrument does absolutely everything for everybody. For beginners or great players it will inspire!
As a piano the CSP170 is outstanding with Yamaha's CFXIII grand piano samples and the Bosendorpher grand piano sample. The key action is Yamaha NWX with wooden keys, graded action, escapement and ivory feel. The amplification is rich and full.
It's impossible to write in words how amazing this instrument is, everyone has their own way of doing things. It's so important to have a really good demonstration to see it's full capabilities and how it can work for you. We have 3 demonstrators in the shop so please come in and see us before you buy any other piano
