Description
The Yamaha CLP-895GP brings the elegance and presence of a grand piano together with the advanced technology of Yamaha’s flagship Clavinova range. Designed for players who want an authentic acoustic-style experience with the convenience of a digital instrument, it offers a beautifully responsive touch, expressive tone, and a refined grand piano cabinet that makes it a striking centrepiece for the home, studio, or teaching space.
At the heart of the CLP-895GP is Yamaha’s GrandTouch keyboard, featuring wooden white keys, synthetic ebony and ivory keytops, escapement, counterweights, and 88-key Linear Graded Hammers. This creates a highly realistic playing feel, with natural resistance across the keyboard and excellent control for everything from delicate passages to powerful, expressive performances. GrandTouch pedals with GP Response Damper further enhance the experience, giving players nuanced control over sustain and resonance, including half-pedalling techniques.
The sound engine captures the character of two world-class concert grands: the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial. With Virtual Resonance Modeling and Grand Expression Modelling, the CLP-895GP responds with rich tonal detail, natural resonance, and expressive variation that closely mirrors the behaviour of an acoustic grand piano. Binaural sampling and Yamaha’s Stereophonic Optimiser also make headphone playing feel spacious and immersive, ideal for private practice without losing the sense of sitting at a grand piano.
Beyond its piano performance, the CLP-895GP offers a wide choice of voices, rhythms, recording features, Bluetooth Audio and MIDI, USB connectivity, and compatibility with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app. Whether used for serious practice, teaching, composing, recording, or simply enjoying music at home, this premium digital grand piano delivers exceptional versatility with the touch, tone, and presence expected from Yamaha’s finest Clavinova instruments.
