Yamaha CLP675 Digital Piano - Used

Yamaha CLP-675. The new generation of GrandTouch keyboards with fine-tuned 3-way speakers give you the sensitivity and feel of a grand piano.

The sound of some of the finest concert grand pianos in the world.

With the sounds of two world-renowned concert grand pianos available at the touch of a button, the Yamaha CLP675 lets you choose the perfect piano tone for the piece you want to play. Offering more than sampled sounds, the Yamaha CLP675 reproduces the Yamaha CFX concert grand and the legendary Bӧsendorfer Imperial with meticulous attention to detail.

Powerful tone of CFX.

The CFX, Yamaha's flagship concert grand piano, delivers sparkling highs and powerful resonant bass with sound that reaches the furthest reaches of any concert hall. CFX was played by the winner of the prestigious International Chopin Piano Competition in 2010, and has since been recognized as one of the greatest ensemble artists of modern times.

The legendary sound of Bösendorfer Imperial.

Originally founded in 1828, Bösendorfer holds a unique position among piano manufacturers as the only one in the world that still uses the Viennese tradition of hand-crafted design to produce sound. The unique warm bass, high treble and rich tonal color are known as the “Viennese Sound”. The development of the Bösendorfer piano has been influenced by such famous composers as Brahms and Johann Strauss, resulting in an instrument considered the only piano capable of withstanding the frenetic playing style of the Bösendorfer. Franz Liszt.

Staying true to this legacy of design and meticulousness, each Bösendorfer instrument is meticulously crafted over many hours by highly experienced craftsmen. In 2008, Bösendorfer became part of the Yamaha Corporation, and in 2014 Bösendorfer Imperial's homage was sampled and included in the Clavinova CLP line.

Built upon Grand Piano Craftsmanship.

Grand Piano keyboards are characterized by a light feel when played lightly, and a heavier feel when played with more force. In contrast, the digital piano keyboard is uniform regardless of whether the player uses light or heavy touch. Traditionally, this is one of the most significant differences between the feel of a grand piano and that of a digital piano. However, when developing the GrandTouch keyboard, Yamaha sought to reproduce a keyboard that is truly only found in a grand piano, with greater fidelity. The result is an instrument with a more responsive touch that offers greater dynamic range than ever before. You can now experience a more nuanced, controlled sound when played softly, or a brighter, punchier sound when played with a stronger, grand piano-like touch.

Achieve true balance.

Artists love grand pianos not only for the way they sound great, but also for the way the keys respond to touch. When piano keys are struck, there is a certain weight or resistance to the touch. Similarly, when the keys are released, they will return to their resting position based on the balance between the key and the keyboard's internal mechanism. It is difficult to reproduce the naturalness of the keys of a grand piano in a digital piano, due to differences in the mechanism. Yamaha carefully studied these characteristics when developing the GrandTouch keyboard and have now recreated this wonderful balance on the Yamaha CLP675 digital piano. The result is GrandTouch - a detailed grand piano feel that allows for consistent tonal control, precise rhythm and smooth tonal expression.

Take advantage of your artistic expression.

When playing a digital piano, the area behind the keys can be a challenge for full musical expression. This is because the back of the key is closest to the action's fulcrum. The closer to this pivot point you press the key, the less leverage you have and the more power you need to apply. The greater length of the GrandTouch keys gives the player more leverage, allowing for better expressive control, even on the back of the keys. This is the same support length found on the Yamaha S3X premium grand piano (as of April 2017) and the longest support length used on any digital piano.

Our fingers are more sensitive than we think, and for pianists, the texture of the piano keys is extremely important. The GrandTouch keyboard features white keys made from the highest quality synthetic ivory, independently developed by Yamaha. The black keys are finished in synthetic ebony. The synthetic ivory keyboard surface reproduces the tactile surface of real ivory keyboards used in antique pianos. It features a highly absorbent material that keeps fingers from slipping even after hours of practice, while retaining the ideal texture and feel. The result of over a century of experience in building acoustic pianos, this exclusive Yamaha technology achieves a finish that feels natural and comfortable.

Yamaha's design philosophy for the GrandTouch keyboard.

The GrandTouch keyboard was developed with a clear awareness of the need to recreate the responsive feel of a grand piano.

For example, one of the key features of a grand piano is the wide variation in key touch, from playing softly to hitting hard. Grand pianos respond to different ways of playing with different keystrokes - the keys move lightly when played softly and the keys respond firmly when played hard.

With the GrandTouch keyboard, Yamaha considered the key mechanism and weight, as well as the key shape and the friction that occurs during key movement. In doing so, Yamaha has broadened the range of keystroke differences between lighter and harder play. This allows you to naturally feel the difference between louder and deeper sounds when playing.

Furthermore, Yamaha designed the GrandTouch keyboard to allow you to play with more expressiveness than a grand piano, as the GrandTouch keyboard provides you with haptic feedback from the time you touch the keys until you touch them. to the keyboard.

Yamaha has included a mechanism that simulates the lifting of a hammer on a grand piano, recreating the feeling of key release at the end of a stroke.

Improvements for easier use.

The Clavinova is a line of digital pianos that has been continuously improved in the quest to find and reproduce the touch and tone of a concert grand piano - the perfect epitome of the piano. Over 125 years of accumulating knowledge and expertise in the production of acoustic pianos, Yamaha has created the Clavinova series, an achievement that offers players the same authentic experience as an acoustic piano. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, the Yamaha Clavinova line of digital pianos delivers an acoustic piano-quality experience that's perfect for players of all levels. This series successfully emulates the sensitivity and tone of an acoustic piano, making the transition from digital to acoustic piano sounds seamless and enjoyable.

Own VRM virtual resonance model: create a characteristic reverb from a grand piano.

In an acoustic piano, the sound resonates throughout the body, providing a rich reverb that envelops the space and the listener. This experience is perfectly reproduced on the Yamaha Clavinova line of digital pianos through an improved Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM). The former VRM calculates the different string states for each of the 88 notes on the keyboard, note-to-note, as well as the duration and depth of the damper pedal. The improved VRM version also calculates aliquot resonance in the high octaves and full resonance of the soundboard, rim and frame. This technology enables expressive sounds that are vivid, bright, rich and varied, helping to faithfully reproduce the multitude of essentials of a piano performance.

Great sound meets playing technique from staccato to legato.

With Yamaha Smooth Release technology, the Clavinova delivers crisp sound from using staccato playing techniques to producing long sustain notes on release. This brings out a more subtle nuance in the pianist's feeling when playing.

Smooth sound variation according to key press.

The sound of an acoustic piano often thins out over a long period of time. However, with the Yamaha Clavinova line of digital pianos, pianists can change the volume and liveliness of their piano's sound to achieve a smooth and vibrant tone simply by changing the tone. Change the force of the keys on the keyboard.

What's more, the Clavinova features careful storage of long notes on the piano, meticulous note simulation down to the finest detail, and exclusive Yamaha technology to achieve smooth tonal transitions according to sport. player's work.

In addition, the Yamaha Clavinova line of digital pianos has been tested, inspected and tuned many times over by many pianists to achieve a performance feel similar to that of a grand piano.

Key-off sampling feature.

As soon as the pianist's fingers lift off the keys, the muffler lowers the strings to interrupt the sound, creating subtle changes in tone. This Key-Off sampling feature captures and faithfully reproduces changes in the piano sound and delivers a more realistic performance than ever before.

Clavinova keyboard escapement mechanism.

The Escapement mechanism in an acoustic piano moves the hammers away from the strings rapidly to prevent any interference with the vibrating strings. This mechanism feels responsive when the keys are gently pressed. Since the introduction of the Real Grand Expression, which offers players superb sound, key response, and pedaling, Yamaha has decided to continue creating an Escapement mechanism that delivers outstanding play, repeatability, and response. turned on without impeding the performance. The Clavinova digital piano keyboard features an Escapement engine that reproduces this feeling near the end of each keystroke. They are designed in such a way that they can be felt with a light touch, similar to a grand piano keyboard. These keyboards have been fine-tuned to provide additional friction that balances the loop and response of the keys without disrupting the performance.

88-key Linear Graded Hammer keyboard—the first digital piano keyboard with real weights on every key.

Each key on a grand piano has a different weight. This is because the strings for each note are a bit thinner and shorter in the high register, and thicker and longer in the bass register. Clavinova's 88-key Linear Graded Hammer keyboard is the first to faithfully replicate this sense of hierarchy with different weights and per-key return. This provides a grand piano-like feel and response and allows players to understand more realistic keystrokes.

GP Damper Pedal: Feel the pedal from a real grand piano.

Using the damper pedal subtly changes the tone of the piano and is essential to giving pianists all the expressive tools to convey their musical vision.

The Clavinova digital piano features a damper pedal, which continuously detects depth when the pedal is depressed and allows the pedal to be pressed halfway, allowing the player to momentarily adjust the amount of stress and return, change the depth and characteristics of the piano sound.

High-end models feature the GP Response Damper Pedal, which delivers the grand piano's resistance curve, which is initially light to the touch and grows heavier as the pedal is pressed deeper. This allows the player to become familiar with the nuances of the pedal in a subtle way.

Full resonance like an acoustic piano.

Similar to acoustic pianos, the Yamaha Clavinova line of digital pianos is carefully calibrated with tested speaker placement and body materials to ensure that the entire instrument resonates optimally. In order to sound as close as possible to a grand piano, this series is equipped with a Tone Escapement feature in several locations on the keyboard, allowing the sound from the speakers to be delivered to the listener's ears without being "trapped" inside. musical instrument. High-end models in the CLP-600 Series also integrate DSPs (Digital Signal Processing), amplifiers and dedicated speakers. This greatly improves sound production, ensuring that the volume and sound quality of the performers are heard correctly, with the output from each speaker to the performer's ears in perfect sync.

Acoustic Optimizer sound optimization technology.

The speaker system attached to the body proves that if nothing is adjusted, the volume will increase due to the resonant frequency of the body. Conversely, installing pipes with the same resonant frequency as the body will prevent this resonance. Acoustic Optimizer takes full advantage of this phenomenon.

This sonic improvement is possible only through Yamaha's thorough understanding of the tonal characteristics of musical instruments.

Enjoy the "concert" space right at your home.

Experience playing on a concert grand piano with enveloping sound, even with headphones on.

Yamaha's advanced binaural sampling technology first appeared on Clavinova digital piano models. This technology uses sound samples from CFX - Yamaha's famous concert grand piano, recorded with a dedicated microphone that captures the source position and different nuances of the sound that can only be distinguishable by ear. The resulting sound is so natural and diffuse that you'll even forget you're wearing headphones.

Once you have selected the piano sound of the Yamaha CFX and put on headphones, the sampled sound will play automatically with no additional settings required. Now, with or without headphones, you can fully enjoy the great acoustic experience of a concert grand at home.

Stereophonic Optimizer - a new headphone experience

When using headphones, the Stereophonic Optimizer technology allows players to enjoy a reverberating sound similar to sitting in front of an acoustic piano. With this technology, sounds sampled from acoustic pianos* are captured from the body of the instrument. This provides a comfortable, natural experience that eliminates the limitations of performing with headphones.
