Yamaha Clavinova CLP775R

Grand Expression Modeling

A grand piano is naturally a very responsive instrument. From the speed at which you touch and release the keys to how hard or soft you play them, it’s all reflected in how the hammers, dampers, and strings respond. Yamaha’s new Grand Expression Modeling recreates how a real grand piano responds to varied input. More than previous versions, the way you interact with the keys will be reflected in the sound the CLP-775 produces, letting you be more expressive than ever.

Detailed Grand Piano Sounds

The sounds in the CLP-775 are modelled on the exquisite Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial grand pianos. Most of us can only dream of playing incredibly crafted instruments such as these, but the CLP-700 recreates that tone at a far more accessible price. The CLP-700 series has faithfully recreated the sound of these pianos, taking care to capture the full dynamic range and tonal variations they are capable of producing. Thanks to the Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) you can even hear the sympathetic sounds that result from overlapping string resonances in a grand piano. There’s also binaural sampling which gives you an atmospheric, in-the-room sound while playing with headphones.

GrandTouch Keyboard

A crucial part of recreating the grand piano experience is, of course, the feel of the keys. The GrandTouch keyboard in the CLP-775 has been carefully designed to reproduce the feel and responsiveness of a grand piano. The 88-key Linear Graded Hammer-action keyboard recreates the feel of a grand piano from the varying weights of the keys, to the balance, to how quickly the key returns to rest. The keys themselves are made from synthetic ivory and ebony which feel like their natural counterparts, tactile and textured to prevent your finger from slipping. To complete the authentic feel the white keys are made from wood which you can see when you press down the keys.

Clavinova Design

The CLP-775 features a dual-amplifier design with two speakers which have been positioned to ensure optimum resonance. To the left of the keyboard is an LCD screen and touch sensors for navigating the menus to access the sounds, effects, and songs inside the CLP-775. The lights for the screen and touch controls turn off after use leaving just the on/off switch for a sleek, more traditional piano look.
