Yamaha CLP-885 Clavinova

Description

Overview

The Yamaha CLP-885 Clavinova is the most advanced upright digital piano in the CLP-800 series. It combines the tactile and sonic realism of a grand piano with the latest digital technology. Designed for demanding musicians, it offers a sonic, tactile, and aesthetic experience that redefines the standard for digital pianos for both home and professional use.

Realistic Playing Experience: GrandTouch Keyboard with Wooden Keys and Counterweights

The CLP-885 incorporates the GrandTouch keyboard with wooden white keys, individual counterweights, and an escapement mechanism. Each key is precisely graded to reproduce the resistance, rebound, and feel of a concert grand piano. The synthetic ebony and ivory keytops provide a natural touch and better control during performance. Thanks to the 88-key Linear Graded Hammers system, the response is linear across the entire keyboard range, offering very precise expressive control.

Concert Sound: Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial

The Yamaha CLP-885 Clavinova offers the sounds of the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand pianos. Both have been captured through high-definition sampling, achieving a rich, detailed, and immersive reproduction. Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) technology accurately simulates the sympathetic string, soundboard, and instrument body resonances, while Grand Expression Modeling translates the nuances of key press into organic and natural tonal variations.

Grand Acoustic Imaging: Natural Three-Dimensional Sound

The Grand Acoustic Imaging system, present in the upper models of the CLP-800 series, recreates the spatial distribution of sound from a real grand piano. Through a combination of physical simulation and optimized speaker placement, the CLP-885 generates an immersive, balanced, and natural experience, replicating the way bass, midrange, and treble frequencies propagate in the room.

Connectivity and Advanced Features

The CLP-885 includes Bluetooth Audio/MIDI connectivity, USB Audio/MIDI, headphone input and output, and AUX In/Out connections. It features a hidden touch screen that only appears when needed, preserving the instrument’s classic aesthetic. It is compatible with the Yamaha Smart Pianist app, which allows users to control the piano, view digital sheet music, analyze songs, and easily configure sounds and parameters. Additionally, it offers multi-track recording functions, WAV/MP3 file playback, and customized practice modes.

Elegant Design and Refined Acoustics

The Yamaha CLP-885 combines the sobriety of an upright piano with the elegance of the Clavinova design. Its cabinet, with refined lines and a folding lid, is available in matte black, polished black, and polished white finishes. The multi-way speaker system and optimized acoustic design provide natural sound projection, with clarity and depth at any volume level, adapting to both domestic spaces and academic or professional environments.
