A perfect piano replacement

The Clavinova sounds exactly like a piano (and like dozens of other instruments), thanks to Advanced Wave Modeling (AWM) synthesis. But it also feels like a piano, due to the careful attention to the Graded Hammer keyboard, which offers different amounts of resistance in the lower range, and less in the upper, just like a grand piano. These features are only two among dozens that make the experience of playing a Clavinova exactly like playing an acoustic piano, but unlike and acoustic piano, a Clavinova never goes out of tune.

Reliable construction

From the mechanism of the Graded Hammer keyboard to the coated wood of its cabinet, the Clavinova is designed to be a sturdy, reliable instrument that meets the needs of even the most demanding piano player.

More than a piano

Sitting down at a Clavinova is exactly like sitting down at a piano, but every Clavinova has features that let you push your music further, with other voices like organ and harpsichord, and on advanced models, a full range of hundreds of voices and multi-track recording, and even features like vocal harmony. Yamaha has integrated these advanced features perfectly with the piano functions of the Clavinova, so that the same keyboard can be used to play Rachmaninoff's piano concertos, Bach's organ suites, or the newest pop and jazz.

A beautiful addition to any home

Yamaha has taken care to make sure that our instruments look as good as they sound. With models available in a variety of finishes, from dark rosewood to polished ebony, the elegant Clavinova will be a source of pride in any living room or studio.
