Description
The Yamaha CLP-885 Clavinova Digital Piano is a flagship home instrument for serious players, advancing students, teachers and composers who want the nuance of a concert grand with the ease of digital. From the first keystroke you feel a long, natural pivot and hear a richly detailed voice that invites expressive playing, whether you are practising scales, studying repertoire or sketching ideas. The elegant cabinet sits comfortably in living rooms, teaching studios and school practice rooms, offering a refined centrepiece that encourages more time at the keyboard. It brings together premium materials, advanced sound technology and practical connectivity so you can focus on music, not maintenance, tuning or setup.
Compared with entry level digital pianos, the CLP-885 delivers a markedly more authentic touch and tone. Its GrandTouch keyboard uses long wooden keys with escapement, textured synthetic ebony and ivory key tops and carefully balanced counterweights for superb control at every dynamic. Grand Expression Modelling and Virtual Resonance Modelling capture the interaction of hammers, strings and cabinet for a deep, living piano sound, while binaural sampling of the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial gives an enveloping experience on headphones. A responsive three pedal system with GP Response Damper supports half pedalling and fine shading, and a powerful multi speaker system projects convincingly in the room.
For UK tuition and school use, the CLP-885 is a dependable choice that supports good technique from the earliest grades to advanced study. Duet mode, twin headphone sockets, a metronome and built in recording make lessons efficient, while Bluetooth audio and MIDI plus USB let you connect to learning apps and notation software with ease. The robust, maintenance free cabinet with a sliding key cover stands up well to daily practice, and quiet operation makes late evening sessions possible without disturbing others. With its compact footprint, premium feel and long term reliability, it offers excellent value for dedicated learners and busy teaching environments.
