The Clavinova brand made its debut in 1983, embodying the concept of bringing new types of keyboard instruments into the world. The name "Clavinova" is a portmanteau of the Latin words "clavier" (keyed instrument) and "nova" (new), and encapsulates Yamaha's ambition to continue proposing new value for keyboards. The brand evolved into its present form with the CLP, CSP, and CVP Series that provide customers with different ways to play and enjoy music. With Clavinova pianos, Yamaha has harnessed the latest technology to create a new standard for the modern era-authentic playability and physical presence approaching levels of acoustic grand pianos, with the convenience and fun only digital pianos can provide.

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. 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. Yamaha`s 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.

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.

The best way to learn to play the piano is to practice on a grand piano. Grand pianos allow an unlimited range of musical expression, so through serious practice, players naturally learn the skills it takes to draw out different kinds of expression and play what they envision. This is akin to having an unlimited palette of colors at hand for drawing or painting.

Practicing on Clavinova CLP Series pianos allows players to learn how the slightest variations in touch produce different tones just as they would on a grand piano, ultimately boosting their capacity for musical expression. Additionally, practice is exponentially more enjoyable with features unique to digital pianos, among them the ability to play with headphones and keep your surroundings quiet, record and play back your own playing with ease, explore the artistic intent of historical composers with fortepiano voices, and enjoy the wonderful feeling of playing in time with rhythms.

Piano players treasure the joy of expressing themselves to the fullest. We invite you to enjoy the lush experience of playing a CLP Series piano.

The rich sound of a grand piano lies in the complexity of its design. From the moment pianists press the keys to the moment the sound reaches their ears, more than 8000 parts inside the piano move and vibrate in perfect harmony.

The new CLP-800 series incorporates several new technologies in every step of the process, to replicate the complex interactions that occur inside a grand piano and offer the pianist an experience that is unprecedented in a digital instrument.

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.
