Yamaha Clavinova
The remarkable Yamaha Clavinova puts the luscious, expressive sound of a real acoustic
piano at your fingertips.The amazingly authentic piano sounds at the heart of this instrument
were sampled from a full concert grand piano smoothly blended for the most natural
dynamic changes. Special care was also taken to accurately reproduce the complex
sound nuances when the dampers fall back onto the strings strings (Key Off), the rich
sound when the damper pedal is pressed (Sustain), and even the special phenomenon
when the hammer hitting the strings of one key causes the strings of other keys to vibrate
(String Resonance).
Real grand piano key touch and response
The Natural Wood keyboard uses real-wood white keys to reproduce as closely as
possible the experience of playing an actual grand piano-including the authentic touch and
feel of the keys, the weightbalance between key and hammer, and the weight gradation
between low and high keys. This specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques
possible only on real grand pianos, such as having successive notes blend smoothly even
without pressing the damper pedal, or playing the same key repeatedly and quickly with
perfectly natural articulation. The Synthetic Ivory key tops that feature a soft and slightly
porous surface, giving the keys added grip and a natural friction for improved ease in
playing. Yamaha's famed Graded Hammer technologies give those respective keyboards
a remarkably natural piano touch and expressive response. Resonant, Richly Textured
Piano Sound
