The CLP-700 Series Clavinovas 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.
This model is equipped with the voices of four fortepianos beloved by Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, and Scarlatti.
The fortepianos shown in the picture are from the collections at the Hamamatsu Museum of Musical Instruments.
A grand piano is an instrument that amplifies the sound with a large resonant soundboard. Digital pianos produce sound through speakers. As a result, compared to the grand piano, digital pianos are more likely to vary in the way the sound is heard depending on the position of the player and the listener.
Yamaha combined their knowledge and technology gained from more than 120 years of acoustic piano manufacturing with advanced acoustic design technology to create a new way to deliver sound. After analyzing where and how the sound of the grand piano is radiated, the arrangement, orientation, and volume of the speakers in the low, medium and high bands of the CLP-885 were optimized to duplicate that acoustic experience. In addition, the delivery of sound was enhanced with specifically designed diffusers and bidirectional horns that utilize indirect sounds reflected from walls.
An important part in the acoustic design of digital pianos is to ensure that the best acoustic properties are obtained in the various locations where the piano will be played. To do so, an ideal development environment is needed that can completely eliminate the effects of reflections from floors and walls. Yamaha headquarters has one of the largest non-resonant rooms in Japan. While measuring the acoustic characteristics of the speakers in this room, they take into account the differences in the various environments in which the instrument is used and adjust to them.
The intuitive touch panel only displays the controls when needed — when the panel is off, it has the smooth finish of a keyblock.
With over 500 voices, the CLP-885 offers a world of instruments at your fingertips. Advanced sound creation and processing brings all of the instruments to life.
