CLP230 Clavinova

The CLP230 builds on the already impressive specification of the CLP220 by adding Yamaha's renowned GH3 keyboard action for even more precise control and articulation, whilst providing a more comfortable playing experience. The half-pedal feature responds exactly like an acoustic piano, whilst the expanded recording section allows you to save up to three of your own performances for later playback.

CLP240 Clavinova

The CLP240 takes a further step towards ultimate piano realism, with 3-step Dynamic Stereo Sampling - this means that samples are taken at different levels, from pianissimo to fortissimo. Furthermore, stereo sustain and key-off samples reproduce even the most subtle nuances of an acoustic piano. The new Dynamic Damper Effect system takes this realism even further whilst an uprated amplifer and speaker system means the CLP240 delivers its sound with increased clarity and definition.

CLP-295GP Clavinova

The Yamaha CLP-295GP Clavinova offers unmatched sonic realism and exceptionally natural grand-piano type playability, and features Yamaha's original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling technology for rich, authentic, musical voices.

The special Natural Wood keyboard uses real wood white keys, to reproduce as closely as possible the experience of playing an actual acoustic grand piano.

Thanks to these two keyboard types, you can use performance techniques previously possible only on grand pianos—such as playing the same note successively and having sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally. The remarkably authentic Grand Piano 1 voice on both instruments also features:

• Dynamic Sampling, using velocity-switched samples for extra realism;
• String Resonance, which recreates the rich resonance of piano strings;
• Sustain Sampling, which uses samples of the resonance of an acoustic grand piano's soundboard and strings made when the damper pedal is pressed; and
• Keyoff Samples, which add the subtle, characteristic sounds produced when keys are released.
