THE EXCELLENCE OF THE CSP-200 SERIES

The Clavinova CSP-200 Series digital pianos allow even beginners to play their favourite songs with ease.

It features unique Stream Lights, which guide you to the keys to play next, and the Smart Pianist app that lets you enjoy the instru- ment with your smart device. With an authentic playing feel and rich tonal quality like that of a grand piano, it offers profound playing enjoyment.

Each model of the Clavinova CSP-200 Series includes the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial grand piano sounds. While CSP-255 and CSP-275 have an 88-key GrandTouch-S™ weight- ed keyboard for a piano-like feel (CSP-275 even has real wood keys), the  CSP-295  and  CSP-295GP
include a realistically expressive 88-key GrandTouch™ counter- weighted keyboard. The luxurious, elegant CSP-295GP also provides GrandTouch™ pedals that recre- ate the unique resistance of grand piano’s pedals, heavy when depressed and light on release.

Moreover, the free Yamaha Smart Pianist app provides intuitive operation of the instrument and can be connected wirelessly even via Bluetooth® MIDI.

FINEST PIANO SOUND QUALITY

Latest Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) applies to the Piano Voices. In addition, the Grand Expression Modeling introduced in the CSP-200 Series translates the widely varied input from the pianist’s fingers into the same limitless tonal variation of a grand piano.

CFX & BÖSENDORFER PIANO SAMPLES

The CSP Series lets you enjoy playing with the voices of the CFX— Yamaha’s top-flight concert grand piano and the piano of choice at competitions around the world—the warm tones of the Bösendorfer Imperial grand piano, and many more noted pianos, all on a single instrument.

In addition, binaural sampling was used for the Bösendorfer Imperial as well as the Yamaha CFX to offer a stunning experience when playing with headphones.

NEW ON-BOARD CONTENT

As well, a USB cable (Type-C to Type-C) is included, and users who have a Smart Device with a Type-C terminal can conveniently connect the instrument to their smart device with a single cable.

CSP-295GP

BI-DIRECTIONAL HORNS CSP-295 ONLY

This powerful 3-way system features mid and treble units, as well as bass speakers, which are available only on the CSP-295—and all units are optimally balanced and placed accordingly in the body to simulate the sound image of a grand piano.

CSP-295 AND CSP-295GP – THE NEW TOP-MODELS OF CSP-200 SERIES

Clavinova pianos boast excellent playability and versatile functions, along with a refined, authentic design and modern aesthetics befitting the instrument that sets the contemporary standard for pianos. At the heart of the Clavinova design concept is the way the player feels when they take their seat in front of a Clavinova piano. Unnecessary elements are removed from the player’s field of vision to create a convincingly natural space that feels just like sitting at an acoustic piano. A Clavinova piano is a part of the player’s everyday life—contemporary accents and colour variations are available to mesh with any interior design or lifestyle.

The new top-model CSP-295 has an elegant design that has both the appearance and feel of an acoustic piano, featuring a rotating lid with a music stand, and the absolute minimum set of controls. The Grand Piano version CSP- 295GP features a piano top that can be opened and closed, giving it an elegant appearance with the glamour of a grand piano.

Both models include the realistically expressive 88-key GrandTouch™ counterweighted keyboard with a greater length of keys that give the player more leverage, allowing for better expressive control, even at the backs of the keys.

This is the same support length found on the Yamaha S3X premium grand piano, and is the longest support length used on any digital piano. The 88-key Linear Graded Hammers of the Clavinova is the first of its kind to faithfully duplicate this graded touch with differing weights and key return on each one of its keys. In addition these Clavinova feature carefully adjusted counterweights for improved playability when playing pianissimo with a light touch, and better key return in rapid passages. The keyboard of these Clavinova have been fine- tuned to offer optimal balance, emphasising its superb playability and grand piano response.

The GP ResponseDamperPedal of both CSP-295 and CSP-295GP

offer a grand piano-style resistance curve, starting out light to the touch and growing heavier as the pedal is depressed further. This allows players to become accustomed to the nuances of delicate pedaling.

The GrandTouch™ Pedals of CSP-295GP

even offer the unique friction felt when using a grand piano pedal, heavy when pressed and light on the return. They also feature a mechanism with the fulcrum in a similar position to that on a grand piano, bringing the playing experience that much closer to a grand.

 The bass, mid, and treble speakers are optimally balanced

and placed accordingly in the body to simulate the sound image of a grand piano. Additional bidirectional horns in CSP-
295 deliver an abundance of sound, creating a natural sound field akin to the resonance from a grand piano
 soundboard. In addition to the resonance and dynamic range created by the grand piano shape, the CSP-295GP is equipped with Waveguide which makes
the sparkling highs of the instrument resonate far and wide to both players and listeners. Drawing from our experience in building both acoustic pianos and high-end speakers,  the  CSP-295  and
 CSP-295GP speaker cones use pulp from the same spruce wood used to make acoustic piano sound boards. The result is a more natural, piano-like attack to the sound that is more piano-like when you play the keys.

INTUITIVE OPERATION WITH YAMAHA’S SMART PIANIST APP

The Yamaha Smart Pianist app gives you complete, detailed control over the instrument from your smart device. This intuitive app makes it easy to select the desired Voice from a variety of instrument sounds, and even switch between different virtual performance spaces and their acoustic environment (for example, a concert hall or cathedral).
The app is available at the App Store and Google Play.

STREAM LIGHTS ILLUMINATE THE KEYS TO PLAY NEXT, MAKING MUSIC EVEN MORE FUN

 Even if you can’t read music, Stream Lights—used with the interactive scores shown in the Smart Pianist app—guide you to the keys to play next, making your practice more enjoyable. You can also set the function for the left or right hand only, or slow the tempo at the hard parts to help you practice. There is even a Guide function that pauses the song until you play the correct keys.

PRACTICE YOUR FAVOURITES AMONGST THE EXTENSIVE LINEUP OF PRESET SONGS

The Clavinova CSP-200 Series features an ample selection of preset songs, from well-known popular and classical tunes to practice exercises. View the sheet music on Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app, and use Stream Lights to guide your practice sessions. Moreover, you can add new songs to your collection on the app.

AUDIO TO SCORE LETS YOU TRY YOUR HAND

AT THE TUNES YOU WANT RIGHT AWAY

When you want to play a song, but don't know where to begin or what to do, just use the Audio to Score feature included in Yamaha's Smart Pianist app. The app analyses MP3s and other audio song data and creates chord charts with over 50 varieties of accompaniment to suit your playing level. All you have to do is follow the Stream Lights.

ADD VARIETY TO YOUR PERFORMANCE WITH VOICES AND BACKING STYLES

The Clavinova CSP-200 Series offers unrivaled capacity for musical expression, with a huge variety of instrument voices that belie their simple, elegant exteriors.
Featuring a wide array of backing Styles, the CSP Series allows you to enjoy great-sounding performances with authentic accompaniment that will enhance your playing across a diverse range of musical genres.

CSP-275
