Yamaha Clavinova Series / CLP, CVP and CSP Series Overview

Welcome to Popplers Music. My name is Josh. Let’s talk piano!

Today, we are going to be taking a look at the three Clavinova series from Yamaha, the CLP, CSP, and CVP Clavinovas. The Clavinova models are Yamaha’s premium-level digital pianos, but each series from Yamaha has a different focus and that is what we are going to go over today. Let’s get started.

Stating with the CLP series, which has the soul of a Yamaha acoustic piano and the heart of Yamaha innovation, Clavinova CLP blurs the line between acoustic and digital with authentic grand piano touch, tone, and power. All the intuitive controls let you do things only Yamaha digital pianos can do. There are five CLP upright models and two digital grand piano model options in the CLP series lineup, check out HERE for their detailed information.

For piano players who want an excellent digital piano without too much technology, the CLP series would be the perfect piano for you. Each CLP model boasts Yamaha’s CFX and Bosendorfer Imperial concert grand pianos as the main piano sounds. Each CLP model has about 38 different instrument sounds, 20 backing rhythm tracks, 16-track recording, a built-in metronome, and other useful technology without becoming overwhelming.

For more information on individual CLP models, we have made overview videos for most models available on our website or YouTube channel.

Next, the CSP Series, which means Clavinova Smart Piano, is the newest series in the Clavinova lineup that uses the power of the iPad or other smart devices to control the many features of the piano and act as an interphase for learning and creativity. This instrument recreates the touch, tone, and power of the finest concert grands and is packed with thoughtful technology geared toward helping you become a better player.

It turns your favorite songs into piano scores and helps teach you how to play them. It lets you lead a virtual orchestra, join a jazz ensemble, add backup singers, and more. Then allows you to control everything from an elegant app on your smart device.

The CSP Clavinova is first and foremost an excellent digital piano with wonderful action and superb piano samples. When you connect to the Smart Pianist app from Yamaha, the CSP offers almost endless creative opportunity.

Finally, Yamaha’s flagship CVP is everything you’d expect from a Clavinova and more. Bring in virtual session musicians, harmonize with backup singers, and add authentic voices to hundreds of digital instruments. An intuitive color touchscreen controls a new world of entertaining possibilities. You won’t believe how it sounds or what it can do.

With the CVP Clavinova, you can mix and match over 1,300 instrument samples, hundreds of backing tracks, and customize your setup to match your style. The CVP also has built-in songs for you to play along at your own speed. When you want new songs, simply visit Yamaha’s Music Soft site for an endless selection of music to learn with your CVP. The CVP is truly Yamaha’s virtuosic Clavinova.
