<h3>Innovation for effortless performance</h3>
<div>
<p>Clavinova is an innovative lineup of digital pianos that have continued to evolve while seeking to provide the touch and tone of a concert grand piano&mdash;the ultimate symbol of piano excellence. This authentic grand piano experience is the product of the knowledge and expertise that Yamaha has accumulated over more than 125 years of crafting acoustic pianos. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology to achieve grand piano quality, Clavinova digital pianos offer an inviting playing experience that is perfect for players of all levels. They emulate the touch and tone of a grand piano to make the transition from digital to acoustic piano a seamless and enjoyable one.</p>
<h3>VRM physical modeling&mdash;the distinctive reverberation generated by the entire body of a concert grand piano</h3>
<p>In a grand piano, sound resonates throughout the body of the instrument, producing a rich reverberation that envelops the listener in sound. This phenomena is reproduced perfectly in the Clavinova through enhanced Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM). The original VRM calculates the various states of the strings for each of the 88 notes on the keyboard, from one instant to the next, and timing and depth of damper pedals pressed. The enhanced VRM now also calculates aliquot resonance in the upper octaves, and the full resonance of the soundboard, rim, and frame. This technology allows for vivid, bright, richly-varied expression that reflects the limitless number of factors inherent in piano performance.</p>
<h3>From staccato to legato&mdash;superbly expressive sound that responds to the player&rsquo;s touch</h3>
<p>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&rsquo;s playing.</p>
<h3>Smooth tonal transformations perfectly matched to key pressure</h3>
<p>Sound in an acoustic piano attenuates over a long time. Pianists can change the volume of the sound&mdash;as well as its dynamics&mdash;to achieve both mellow and bright tones by simply changing the pressure they apply to the keys.</p>
<p>The Clavinova features long, carefully-sampled recordings of notes on a piano, reproduces them in rich detail and utilizes unique Yamaha technologies to achieve smooth tonal transitions in response to the touch of the player.</p>
<h3>Key-Off samples</h3>
<p>The moment a pianist&rsquo;s fingers are lifted from the keys of a grand piano, subtle changes occur in the instrument&rsquo;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&rsquo;s sound, allowing for a more realistic performance.</p>
<p>Additionally, the Clavinova has been repeatedly tested and adjusted by numerous pianists in order to attain a performance feel similar to that of a grand piano.</p>
<h3>The Graded Hammer 3X Keyboard (GH3X)</h3>
<p>The touch of the Clavinova keyboard has been praised by pianists for a performance feel that makes you forget you&rsquo;re playing a digital piano, offering authentic response to the force of your touch and a natural key return. Utilizing the same hammering system and spring-less mechanism as a grand piano, GH3X actions accurately reproduce the touch of an acoustic piano from the heavy feel in the lower register to the lighter touch in the upper octaves.</p>
<h3>Synthetic ivory and ebony keytops&mdash;a pleasure to play even after hours of performance</h3>
<p>Our fingers are more sensitive than we think, and for pianists, the texture of the piano keys is extremely important. The GH3X keyboard features white keys made from the highest quality synthetic ivory, developed independently by Yamaha. The black keys are finished in synthetic ebony. Synthetic ivory keytops reproduce the tactile surface of the real ivory keyboards once used in older acoustic pianos. It features highly absorbent material that prevents fingers from slipping even after hours of practice, while retaining the ideal texture and feel. Resulting from well over a century of experience in making acoustic pianos, this exclusive Yamaha technology achieves a finish that feels natural and comfortable. In addition to the feel, the appearance and fine texture of these keys is unmatched by any other digital piano, and is sure to inspire pianists from the moment they experience it.</p>
