CLP-795GP Discontinué

GrandTouch™ keyboard

Yamaha’s latest keyboard action features a broad dynamic range and faithful response to every nuance of touch that puts a wide expanse of tone—from delicate to bold—at the pianist’s fingertips. The highly consistent grand piano hammers replicate the pleasing response felt when the hammers strike the strings, enabling precise control of the tone. Highly absorbent synthetic-ivory white keys and synthetic-ebony black keys prevent slipping even during extended play and feel just like those of a grand piano.

GrandTouch keyboard features wooden keys that showcase Yamaha’s expertise with wood for pianos. Just as with grand piano keyboards, the solid wood is cut from the very best parts of well-dried lumber, making the keys more resistant to warping than keyboards made of laminated wood. The wooden texture and structure of the keys create a more grand piano-like feel.

Leverage your artistic expression

When playing a digital piano, the back area of the keys may prove to be a challenge to full musical expression. This is because the back of the key is closest to the fulcrum of the action. The closer to this pivot point that you strike the key, the less leverage you have and the more strength you need to apply. The greater length of GrandTouch keys give the player MORE leverage, allowing for better expressive control, even at the backs of the keys. This is the same support length found on the Yamaha S3X premium grand piano (as of July 2020), and is the longest support length used on any digital piano.

88-key Linear Graded Hammers—the first digital piano keyboard ever to feature realistic weighting on every key

Every single key on a grand piano keyboard is weighted differently. This is because the strings for each note are slightly thinner and shorter in the treble register, becoming thicker and longer towards the bass register. The 88-key Linear Graded Hammers of the Clavinova is the first-of-its-kind to faithfully duplicate this graded touch with differing weights and key return on each one of its keys. This results in a feel and response that is astonishingly like that of a grand piano, and allows players to gain an appreciation of a more authentic touch.

Key counterweights

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.

Mécanisme d'échappement des claviers Clavinova

Le mécanisme d'échappement d'un piano à queue éloigne les marteaux des cordes rapidement après qu'ils les aient frappées, afin d'éviter toute interférence avec la vibration des cordes. Ce mécanisme produit un léger claquement lorsque l'on appuie doucement sur les touches.

Les claviers Clavinova sont caractérisés par un mécanisme d'échappement qui reproduit cette sensation près du bas de la touche. Ils ont été conçus de manière à ce que le clic ne soit perceptible que lors des frappes les plus légères, similaires au clavier d'un piano à queue. Ces claviers ont été ajustés pour offrir une friction supplémentaire qui équilibre la répétition et la réponse des touches sans nuire aux performances.

The GP Response Damper Pedal

Using the damper pedal subtly alters the nature of a piano’s sound and is essential to providing the pianist with all the necessary expressive tools to convey their musical vision.

Clavinova digital pianos feature a damper pedal that continually detects depression depth and allows halfpedaling, which lets players make minute adjustments to pedal depression and return, changing the depth and character of their piano sound.

The GP Response Damper Pedal offers a grand piano-style resistance curve, starting out light to the touch and growing heavier as the pedal is depressed further. This allows players to become accustomed to the nuances of delicate pedaling.

Philosophie de conception

Les pianos Clavinova possèdent une excellente maniabilité et des fonctions polyvalentes, ainsi qu'un design raffiné et authentique qui allie une forme compacte à une esthétique moderne, comme il sied à l'instrument qui établit la norme contemporaine des pianos. Au cœur du concept de design du Clavinova se trouve la sensation que ressent le joueur lorsqu'il prend place devant un piano Clavinova. Les éléments inutiles sont supprimés du champ de visibilité du joueur pour créer un espace naturel convaincant qui donne l'impression d'être assis devant un piano acoustique. Cela représente la considération de Yamaha pour les joueurs qui s'entraînent sur Clavinova et jouent sur des pianos à queue : ils sont capables de monter sur scène sans tension ni inquiétude car tout est normal, comme il se doit. Un piano Clavinova fait partie de la vie quotidienne du joueur - des accents contemporains et des variations de couleurs sont disponibles pour s'adapter à n'importe quelle décoration intérieure ou style de vie.

Modélisation de la Grande Expression

L'interaction et le jeu des marteaux, des étouffoirs et des cordes à l'intérieur d'un piano à queue répondent aux plus subtiles nuances du toucher du pianiste, créant ainsi une gamme illimitée d'expressions tonales. Le toucher fait référence au contrôle du pianiste, non seulement de l'intensité (douceur/sonorité) dans le jeu et le relâchement des touches, mais aussi de la vitesse et de la profondeur avec laquelle les touches sont pressées. La modélisation de la grande expression introduite dans la série CLP-700 traduit l'entrée très variée des doigts du pianiste en la même variation tonale illimitée d'un piano à queue.

Il est ainsi possible de varier le résultat en jouant les touches à différentes profondeurs et à différentes vitesses, même en utilisant des techniques telles que les trilles ou le legato ou en mettant l'accent sur la mélodie plutôt que sur l'accompagnement. Le Grand Expression Modeling excelle à reproduire fidèlement le rendement attendu de ces techniques dans de nombreuses chansons connues. Dans le "Clair de Lune" de Debussy, une touche légère crée le ton léger qui fait ressortir la mélodie de façon plus nette. Dans "Un Sospiro" de Liszt, les arpèges d'accompagnement accentuent la mélodie sans la submerger, et l'expression variée de la mélodie lui confère la même qualité que le chant. Dans le dernier des nocturnes de Chopin, les trilles, le legato et d'autres techniques délicates où les doigts semblent flotter sur les touches fournissent l'expression tonale aérienne et douce requise. Jouer de tels morceaux sur un piano très expressif permet au pianiste d'apprendre diverses techniques et de ressentir la même joie d'expression qu'un peintre, mais par le son.

Newly sampled Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial voices

Clavinova grand piano sounds are recorded from several world-renowned concert grand pianos. One of them is the CFX, Yamaha’s top-flight concert grand piano. Pianists around the world are enamored with the impressive, dazzling, richly expressive sound of the CFX in concert halls. Another sampled concert grand is the Imperial, the flagship model of Bösendorfer, a time-honored Viennese piano brand with an ardent following. The Imperial is known for its abundance of color and natural, warm feeling. Yamaha faithfully reproduces the idiosyncrasies of these concert grand pianos by carefully recording the entire tonal range of each of the 88 keys, making minute adjustments to capture the most harmonious tones each piano has to offer.

Modélisation de la résonance virtuelle

L'un des attraits du piano à queue est la résonance sympathique créée par la vibration de l'ensemble de l'instrument. Les pianos Clavinova reproduisent de manière élaborée cette riche résonance sympathique grâce à une technologie révolutionnaire appelée modélisation de la résonance virtuelle (VRM). Le VRM crée un son riche et varié en simulant les sons sympathiques complexes créés lorsque les vibrations des cordes se propagent à la table d'harmonie et aux autres cordes, en fonction du moment et de l'intensité du jeu et de la pédale. Les pianos CLP-700 Series reproduisent même les sons émis par les étouffoirs lorsqu'ils sont soulevés des cordes, en plus de la résonance de l'écaille duplex, des cordes, de la table d'harmonie et de la caisse. Les pianos Clavinova vous permettent de profiter de la même dynamique momentanée et des mêmes sons profonds et sympathiques que ceux produits par le corps entier d'un piano à queue.

A fully immersive concert grand experience—even with headphones

Binaural sampling is a method of sampling in which special microphones are placed on a mannequin’s head in the same positions as the pianist’s ears to capture piano sounds the way that they sound in reality.

We chose this method to create the ambience and full, natural resonance of acoustic pianos in Clavinova pianos. This makes pianists feel as though they are sitting at a grand piano even when they play with headphones on. The experience is so pleasant that they forget they are wearing headphones, no matter how long they continue to play.

On CLP-700 Series pianos, binaural sampling was used for the Bösendorfer Imperial as well as the Yamaha CFX. Yamaha achieves higher-definition binaural sound with a specially developed mannequin head and model ears used for the recording.

We also developed the Stereophonic Optimizer function to achieve the same effect for the piano effects. Stereophonic Optimizer technology replicates the natural diffusion of sound in headphones nearly as closely as binaural sampling for the piano voices other than the CFX and Imperial.

Period instrument voices open the door to the world of classical music

The CLP-785/795GP* are Yamaha’s first instruments to be equipped with the voices of the fortepiano, the predecessor to the modern piano. The sounds emitted by a fortepiano are simpler than those of a modern piano, and decay much more rapidly. Hearing the sounds of the instruments played when the likes of Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin were composing their songs should illuminate the original intent behind the notes on the page. Here is a novel opportunity to communicate with historical composers by playing these period instruments.

*These models are equipped with the voices of four fortepianos beloved by Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, and Scarlatti.

The fortepianos shown in the picture are from the collections of at the Hamamatsu Museum of Musical Instruments.

Grand Acoustic Imaging

When a pianist plays a grand piano, they cause the entire body of the instrument to reverberate, and become enveloped in the colorful tones created from the combination of various acoustic elements in the air around them. The pianist becomes immersed in the diffusing sound and reverberation. The CLP-795GP delivers this pleasant feeling through Grand Acoustic Imaging. The latest acoustic design and measuring technology create the same sound image and sound field of a grand piano despite the compact size of the digital piano. We optimally balanced and placed the bass, mid, and treble speakers to achieve the sound radiation and centroid characteristic of grand pianos so that each and every tone played through the speakers sounds like it was emitted from the proper place on an actual grand piano. The speaker placement and balancing replicates the sensation of the hammers striking the strings in front of the pianist, and the reverberations from the strings dissipating away from them. We also used a transducer to achieve the full reverberation of sounds emitted by the entire grand piano soundboard, replicating the sense of depth experienced when playing an acoustic grand piano. The case of CLP-795GP is shaped to simulate the radiation of grand piano sounds from the speakers, creating a lush listening environment for the audience as well.

Speaker innovations by Yamaha include Spruce Cones

Drawing from our experience in building both acoustic pianos and high-end speakers, Yamaha CLP-785/795GP speaker cones use pulp from the same spruce wood used to make acoustic piano sound boards. The result is a more natural, piano-like attack to the sound that is more piano-like when you play the keys.
