The moment a pianist’s fingers are lifted from the keys of a grand
piano, subtle changes occur in the instrument’s tone as the
damper is lowered onto the strings to mute its sound. Key-Off
samples features actual recordings of these changes, offering a
faithful reproduction of the most subtle changes in the piano’s
sound, allowing for a more realistic performance.

Clavinova Technology
Innovation for effortless performance
Exquisite sound
The CFX—Yamaha’s finest concert grand selected and played by
the winner of the 2010 International Chopin Piano Competition—
and the Imperial from Bösendorfer—a brand held in high esteem
by pianists throughout its long history—are renowned pianos
characterized by distinctive traits such as power, versatility,
subtlety, lightness and mellowness.
Both of these superb pianos’ Voices are featured in the Clavinova.
Tuned to perfection by a highly experienced piano technician with the
sound from all 88 keys sampled individually, Clavinova truly captures
the unique tonal character of each of these outstanding instruments.
With your Clavinova, you can enjoy the exquisite beauty of the
sought-after tone that the CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial deliver.

The tone of the finest concert grand pianos
in the world
Sound in an acoustic piano attenuates over a long time.
Pianists can change the volume of the sound—as well as its dynamics—to
achieve both mellow and bright tones by simply changing the pressure they
apply to the keys.
The Clavinova features long, carefully-sampled recordings of notes on a piano,
reproduces them in rich detail and utilizes unique Yamaha technologies to
achieve smooth tonal transitions in
response to the touch of the player.
Additionally, the Clavinova has
been repeatedly tested and
adjusted by numerous pianists in
order to attain a performance feel
similar to that of a grand piano.
Smooth tonal transformations
perfectly matched to key pressure
Featuring Yamaha Smooth Release technology, Clavinova
offers the crisp tone heard when playing staccato as well as
the lingering sound produced by releasing the keys more. This
provides finely-nuanced response to the pianist’s playing.
From staccato to legato—superbly expressive
sound that responds to the player’s touch
In a grand piano, sound resonates throughout the body of the
instrument, producing a rich reverberation that envelops the
listener in sound.
This phenomena is reproduced perfectly in the Clavinova
through Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM), which calculates
the various states of the strings for each of the 88 notes on the
keyboard from one instant to the next, allowing vivid,
richly-varied expression that reflects the limitless number of
factors inherent in playing the piano—such as the register and
VRM physical modeling—the distinctive
reverberation generated by the entire body of a
concert grand piano
Superb playability and feel
Natural Wood (NWX/NW)* keyboards are created using Yamaha’s
unrivaled expertise of wood acquired through more than a century
of crafting fine pianos.
Just as with grand pianos, the material used for Natural Wood
keyboards is cut from wood that has been carefully dried
specifically for use in making musical instruments.
Only the best wood from the finest part of each tree is selected,
resulting in a keyboard that is more resistant to buckling and
warping than common laminated wood keyboards.
Yamaha’s Natural Wood keyboard features the same action and
three-sensor configuration as Graded Hammer 3 keyboards, which
accurately senses and interprets the behavior of the keyboard for a
response and feel very similar to that of a grand piano. This allows
you to vividly perform smooth, flowing passages or light trills,
techniques used in many pieces such as Für Elise.
* NWX is featured on the CLP-545 / 575 / 585
* NW is featured on the CVP-609 / 609GP
Natural Wood keyboard—
the feel of an acoustic grand
The touch of the Clavinova keyboard has been praised by
pianists for a performance feel that makes you forget you’re
playing a digital piano, offering authentic response to the force
of your touch and a natural key return. Utilizing the same
hammering system and spring-less mechanism as a grand piano,
GH3X and GH3 actions accurately reproduce the touch of an
acoustic piano from the heavy feel in the lower register to the
lighter touch in the upper octaves.
* GH3X is featured on the CLP-535 / 565GP
* GH3 is featured on the CLP-525, CVP-601 / 605
The Graded Hammer 3 Keyboard
(GH3X/GH3)*
The Clavinova faithfully reproduces the sound of an acoustic piano
utilizing features like String Resonance*

to emulate the mellow
tonal color that occurs when strings react to one another. The result
is a beautiful tone with rich, deep reverberation.
In addition to the reverberation of the strings themselves, Damper
Resonance*
2
reproduces the broad, deep sound field of an acoustic
piano. On the CLP-535, CLP-545 and CLP-565GP, Damper
Resonance also mirrors the tonal changes that result when a damper
pedal on a grand piano is depressed. It includes sounds such as
those emitted from the key bed and emulates the cumulative
resonance that occurs when all of these sounds blend together.

Reproducing the Damper Resonance
and deep reverberation of an acoustic piano
Clavinova is an innovative lineup of digital pianos that have continued to evolve while seeking to provide the touch and tone
of a concert grand piano —the ultimate symbol of piano excellence. This authentic grand piano experience is the product of
the knowledge and expertise that Yamaha has accumulated over more than 125 years of crafting acoustic pianos.
Utilizing state-of-the-art technology to achieve grand piano quality, Clavinova digital pianos offer an inviting playing
experience that is perfect for players of all levels, emulating the touch and tone of the grand piano to make the transition
from digital to acoustic piano a seamless and enjoyable one.

Key counterweights
The escapement mechanism in a grand piano moves the hammers away
from the strings quickly after they strike them, in order to prevent any
interference with string vibration. This mechanism produces a slight
clicking sensation when the keys are pressed gently. Since Real Grand
Expression offers players superb sound, touch and pedaling, we decided
to create an escapement that delivers outstanding playability, repetition,
and response without impeding performance. The newly developed
NWX and GH3X keyboards in the Clavinova feature an escapement
mechanism that reproduces this sensation near the bottom of the key dip,
and they have been designed in such a way that the click is discernible
only on the lightest keystrokes, similar to the keyboard of a grand piano.
These keyboards have been adjusted to provide additional friction that
balances key repetition and response without impeding performance.

Counterweights are embedded in the keys of a grand piano to balance
the weight of the hammers and offer more precise control when
playing delicately at low volumes. The Clavinova features carefully-
adjusted counterweights for improved playability when playing
pianissimo with a light touch, and better key return in rapid passages.
The keyboard of the Clavinova has been fine-tuned to offer optimal
balance, emphasizing its superb playability and grand piano response.
