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.
CSP295GP vs CSP275 - Key Differences
Visually, the obvious difference between the CSP275 and the CSP295GP is the grand piano shape. The 295GP has the elegant proportions and shape of a baby grand piano, including a lid that opens, not just giving a stunning appearance but also allowing the speakers to project beautifully into the room.
The 295GP also features the GrandTouch keyboard with counterweights which allows for greater sensitivity when playing at all dynamic ranges and an incredible natural response.
The CSP295GP has an additional 100 voices and 30 styles for even more choice when choosing what to play.
Damper pedal - The damper pedal of the CSP295 has grand piano style response, with resistance increasing the more the pedal is pressed down. This allows the player to develop pedalling technique that can easily be transferred onto acoustic grand pianos.
CSP295GP Features
GrandTouch™ keyboard with counterweights, 88-key Linear Graded Hammers
The CSP295 includes 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 finetuned to offer optimal balance, emphasising its superb playability and grand piano response.

Stream Lights
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 instrument with your smart device. With an authentic playing feel and rich tonal quality like that of a grand piano, it offers profound playing enjoyment.
“Audio To Score” function

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.
Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM)
Virtual Resonance Modeling performs real-time modeling of the sympathetic resonance created by the behavior of the strings and body of the instrument—the foundation of the beautiful sound of a genuine grand piano. Also, the latest acoustic design technology delivers lifelike concert grand piano tone and resonance to your home for you to enjoy.
Grand Expression Modeling
Grand Expression Modeling is a groundbreaking new technology that enables pianists to use their techniques to produce the limitless tonal variation unique to grand pianos. The ability to vary the intensity and speed of touch to produce different tones adds another dimension to the joy of musical expression.
GP Response Damper
The GP Response Damper Pedal 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.

(50 W + 50 W + 40 W) x 2 amplifiers
(16 cm + 8 cm + 2.5 cm (dome) with Bidirectional Horn) × 2 speaker system, Spruce Cone Speaker
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 CSP295 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.
Wireless connection to the Smart Pianist app via Bluetooth ® MIDI
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.
Built-in Bluetooth ® audio
Both Bluetooth® MIDI and Audio allows you an easy integration for your mobile devices even without cables. 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.
Microphone connection
Perfect for any singer songwriter, the built in microphone connection makes it easy to practice and perform with the vocals channelled through the piano speaker system.
