One of the best reasons to choose a Clavinova CLP-800 Series piano is access to multiple pianos on a single instrument, from world-class concert grand pianos to fortepianos for a more authentic classical music experience. The CLP-800 Series is equipped with a new tone generator chip developed by Yamaha that deliver our highest-quality, most beautiful piano voices to date.

The true pleasure of playing a grand piano is when the player can add expression to each and every note with total control over their touch and have the entire instrument respond by ringing out in full splendor. Players can experience the effects of Grand Expression Modeling by playing a song on a CLP-800 Series piano.

When a pianist plays a grand piano, they cause the entire body of the instrument to reverberate, and become enveloped in the colorful tones created from the combination of various acoustic elements in the air around them.

The keys and pedals are the interface between player and instrument. The keys and pedals of CLP Series pianos are designed to feel as similar to their grand piano counterparts as possible, so that the way they behave in response to input from the fingers and toes perfectly matches the resulting sound output.

Among the myriad other design considerations, we have also deeply examined the relationship between the piano playing experience and the design of the instrument. Specifically, while our top-end Clavinova CLP-800 Series of digital pianos is modeled after grand pianos in terms of appearance, the playing experience is also designed so that players unquestioningly feel the natural sensations of playing grand pianos from the moment they sit down at the piano to the moment they finish playing and stand up.
