Clavinova CLP 785 - Polished Ebony

$7,199.99 $7,699

What sets the new 2023 CLP 785 flagship piano apart from other CLP models (with the exception of the CLP 795 grand piano) is the caliber of speakers used and the GrandTouch Keyboard action. The GrandTouch action has the individual key counter weights found in a grand piano for unrivaled realism in the resistance and return of each key. The all new CFX and Bösendorfer samples absolutely sing through the powerful 300W sound system with Spruce Cone speakers. Spruce wood is used in the sound boards of Yamaha acoustic pianos because of its superior tone quality, and that same wood is used in the CLP-685 speaker cones. You will lose yourself in the sound of the updated binaurally-sampled CFX which is a totally immersive headphone experience. Selecting Voices and adjusting settings is easy using the intuitive touch screen user LCD interface.   

We are the largest exclusively Clavinova dealership in the country so we tend to get orders filled faster than other retailers. You won't find a better price advertised online, you'll have a worry free warranty for 10 years, and you'll receive excellent customer service, free express shipping, ongoing tech support and a bench.

No Maintenance!

No Maintenance!

SAVE $1000’s OVER THE LIFESPAN OF THE PIANO!! Even the best pianos are in jeopardy of warping, squeaking, going out of tune, having sticky keys and becoming less fun to play when those things are happening. If you tune your piano twice a year at $125 a pop, that’s a $1,500 expense over 5 years. It’s extremely rare for a Clavinova to have any issues at all. The touch remains consistent, the sound in perfect tune and the functions in perfect order for decades to come, saving you $1,000’s of dollars over the years.

Silent Practice with headphones!

Silent Practice with headphones!

If the piano is getting played for 20min, 45min, or hours a day, the noise of the piano can be disruptive to the home and the noise of the home can be distracting for the pianist. When you need to practice and the tv is on, the other kids are doing homework and the baby is sleeping, you’ll be grateful for headphones. If you think the Clavinova sounds great through speakers, just wait until you hear it through a nice set of headphones! Yamaha uses Binaural sampling which is a fancy way to describe a sophisticated recording technique using a special combination of microphones to reproduce the sound of an acoustic piano to the human ear through headphones.

Virtual Resonance Modeling

Virtual Resonance Modeling

Think of VRM this way, playing digital pianos of the past was like eating a fine meal while you have a cold, it tastes ok but you miss the full aroma and subtle nuances of flavor. VRM adds the richness and tonal quality to the high definition sound of the instrument. VRM calculates the various states of strings for each of the 88 notes on the keyboard, from one instant to the next, and timing and depth of the damper pedals pressed. The enhanced VRM now calculates aliquot resonance in the upper octaves, and the full resonance of the soundboard, rim, and frame. This technology allows for vivd, bright, richly-varied expression that reflect the limitless number of factors inherent in piano performance.

GRAND TOUCH ACTION - Our flagship keyboard

GRAND TOUCH ACTION - Our flagship keyboard

Pianists prefer grand pianos not only because of the way they sound, but also because of the way the keys respond to their touch. When grand piano keys are struck, there is a certain weight or resistance to the touch. Similarly, when keys are released, they return to a resting position based on the balance between the key and the internal mechanics of the keyboard. It is difficult to reproduce the natural return of the keys of a grand piano in a digital piano, due to differences in the mechanics. Yamaha carefully studied these characteristics when developing the GrandTouch keyboard, and has now reproduced this fine balance in the Clavinova digital piano. The result is GrandTouch - detailed grand piano feel that allows for uniform tone control, precise rhythm and smooth melodic expression - fundamental to an exceptional musical performance.

Benefits of smooth release

Benefits of smooth release

From staccato to legato—superbly expressive sound that responds to the player’s touch
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.

Key-Off samples
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.

Escapement

Escapement

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’ve added escapement to deliver outstanding playability, repetition, and response without impeding performance. The Clavinova keyboards feature an escapement mechanism that reproduces this sensation near the bottom of the key dip. These keyboards have been adjusted to provide additional friction that balances key repetition and response without impeding performance.

Synthetic ebony and ivory keytops

Synthetic ebony and ivory keytops

Our fingers are more sensitive than we think, and for pianists, the texture of the piano keys is extremely important. The Clavinova features highly absorbent material that prevents fingers from slipping even after hours of practice, while retaining the ideal texture and feel.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth

There are multiple advantages to having Blue Tooth built in to the piano. You can play music through the piano right from your smart device. Whether you are having a party a just playing music through the pianos massive speaker system or you are just playing back a song you are trying to learn in iTunes, wireless playback gives you quick and flawless sound through a bluetooth enabled phone or tablet.
