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
