YAMAHA - CATCH THE WAVE!
Until 31st July, save £200 on the purchase of a CLP-875, CSP-275, or CSP-255 (available on all finishes). Catch the Wave with a new Yamaha digital piano! The new CLP-875 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 KEYBOARD AND PEDALS
GrandTouch keyboard, and the GrandTouch pedals mimic like never before the feel and control of a grand piano.
GrandTouch keyboards were developed to recreate as faithfully as possible the feel of the keyboard in a grand piano. In CLP-875 Yamaha has adjusted the weight, shape, materials, and movement of the internal parts, to bring the resistance perceived in the fingertips even closer to that of a grand piano action. In addition, in the previous CLP series the 3 sensors in the keyboard allowed you to repeat a note without going back to its initial position. With the new algorithm in the CLP-875 you can now also play a note without fully pressing the key, as you would do in a grand piano, giving you even more control over your playing.
The new GrandTouch pedals in CLP-875 not only look similar to grand piano pedals, but also to allow players to feel the same resistance in their feet as on a grand piano when they depress and release them. Yamaha positioned the pivots and set the pivot-to-tip lengths, angles, and other measurements equal to grand piano specifications so that they travel the same paths as grand piano pedals when players use them. GrandTouch pedals even provide the friction you feel on the pedals of a Grand Piano. The GP Response damper pedal in the CLP-875 even reproduces the differences in resistance depending on how you are pressing the pedal, just like it happens in grand pianos.
CAPTURING YOUR EXPRESSION
Grand Expression Modeling produces now even more nuances of tone depending on the players technique. When playing a grand piano, the pianist infuses their performance with different types of expression, and the tone changes depending on different factors:
How hard or lightly the key is pressed Simple tone generator algorithms on conventional digital pianos are not capable of this level of expression. On CLP-875's Grand Expression Modeling, takes into consideration those 3 factors on every instant, precisely calculates how a grand piano would respond physically to such nuances of the player’s input, and provides an accurate tone and texture to the sound.
OUTSTANDING PIANO SOUND
The CLP-875 is equipped with a new tone generator chip developed by Yamaha, with higher computing power, that delivers the highest-quality, most beautiful piano voices to date.
It features voices of two world-renowned concert grand pianos, the CFX, Yamaha’s top-flight concert grand piano, and the Bösendorfer Imperial, with its renowned Vienese sound. To faithfully reproduce the idiosyncrasies of these concert grand pianos, Yamaha carefully recorded the entire tonal range of each of the 88 keys, making minute adjustments to capture the most harmonious tones each piano has to offer.
MORE REALISTIC RESONANCE
Thanks to the new tone generator chip paired with its groundbreaking technology, Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) produces a richer, more natural resonance than ever before.
THE MOST ADVANCED SPEAKER TECHNOLOGY
Grand Acoustic Imaging with spatial sound creates the ambience of a grand piano.
The advanced amplification and speaker design has optimized placement, orientation, and volume balance of the speakers in the low, mid, and high frequency ranges. Yamaha has also installed diffusers, waveguides, and Bidirectional Horns to take advantage of the indirect sound reflected from the walls and body of the piano to enhance the reverberation of the sound. These design features reproduce the reverberation and depth of natural sound in the surrounding space, creating a sound field close to that of a grand piano.
GRAND DESIGN
CLP-875 pianos feature the same gentle curves of a grand piano.
