Yamaha Clavinova CLP-865GP-PW Digital Grand Piano in Polished White

The Yamaha CLP-865GP is a premium digital grand piano that combines timeless grand piano aesthetics with Yamaha’s most advanced digital technologies. Housed in a luxurious and compact grand-style cabinet, the CLP-865GP delivers both visual elegance and high-level performance. At its core is the GrandTouch-S keyboard, featuring wooden white keys with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops, offering a tactile and responsive playing experience that closely replicates the feel of an acoustic grand piano.

This model features the deeply expressive voices of Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand and the renowned Bösendorfer Imperial, two of the world’s most respected concert pianos. Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) enhances the realism by simulating the complex resonance created by the strings and soundboard of an acoustic instrument. Additionally, the GP Response Damper Pedal allows for nuanced, detailed sustain control, mimicking the mechanical resistance and response of a real grand piano pedal.

Powerful 2-way speakers with diffusers are built into the cabinet, providing a spacious and immersive soundstage that fills the room with rich, dynamic tone. The instrument also supports Bluetooth audio and MIDI, allowing for wireless playback and connection with smart devices. USB connectivity and compatibility with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app provide further functionality for learning, performance, and recording.

Though compact for a grand-style piano, the CLP-865GP’s polished finish and graceful curves make it a striking centerpiece in any space. Its sound and feature set align closely with the CLP-845, but with the added prestige and acoustic presence of a grand cabinet. The CLP-865GP is ideal for musicians seeking both the beauty of a grand piano and the versatility of modern digital features.

Choice of Cabinet Finishes

The CLP-865GP is available in two elegant high-gloss finishes: Polished Ebony and Polished White. These refined cabinet options allow you to choose a piano that best complements your interior space, whether you prefer the classic sophistication of ebony or the modern brightness of white.

Touch & Pedals

The GrandTouch-S™ keyboard with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops provides pianists with the nuanced control and tactile feedback of a grand piano, allowing players to express subtle musical dynamics with precision. It’s designed for comfort and ease of play, even during extended practice or performance sessions. Complementing this, the new GrandTouch™ pedal system found in the CLP-800 series closely replicates the resistance and responsiveness of traditional grand piano pedals, enhancing realism and providing a more immersive playing experience from the very first note to the final chord.

Capturing Your Expression

Grand Expression Modeling faithfully replicates the nuanced tonal variations that arise from the way a pianist touches the keys—responding to differences in both force and speed. This advanced technology brings out the full expressive range of the instrument, offering a deeply immersive playing experience. By enabling greater musical detail and dynamic control, it supports pianists in developing authentic technique and expressive capabilities.

Outstanding Piano Sound

The CLP-800 Series features a newly developed tone generator chip from Yamaha, offering significantly enhanced computing power to deliver the most refined and expressive piano voices ever found in a Clavinova. At the heart of the CLP-865GP are the meticulously sampled voices of two world-renowned concert grand pianos: Yamaha’s flagship CFX, known for its brilliance and power, and the Bösendorfer Imperial, famous for its warm, rich Viennese tone.

Additionally, the CLP-865GP includes the voices of two fortepianos—the early predecessors of the modern piano—faithfully recreating the sound world of composers like Mozart and Chopin. This added versatility offers a unique historical perspective and allows for deeper interpretation of period music.

More Realistic Resonance

The CLP-800 Series delivers a richer, more natural resonance than ever before, thanks to its new tone generator chip and the revolutionary Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) technology. VRM enhances the depth and complexity of the sound by simulating the intricate sympathetic tones created when the vibrations of the strings propagate to the soundboard and other strings. This advanced modeling mirrors the subtle nuances of timing and intensity in both key playing and pedaling, resulting in a sound that is both vibrant and lifelike.

Immersive Speaker Technology

The CLP-800 Series features an advanced speaker system with an amplification power of (45 W + 35 W) × 2, delivering a clear, full-bodied sound with impressive depth. This powerful setup ensures that every note resonates with exceptional clarity, providing a rich and immersive listening experience

Elegant Grand Piano Design

The CLP-800 Series closely mirrors the look, feel, and sound of a grand piano, featuring gentle curves that highlight the instrument's elegance. The design incorporates a wide, functional music stand, allowing multiple sheets of music to be spread out without interfering with the player’s interaction with the instrument.

The CLP-865GP model, in particular, captures the warmth and grace of a traditional grand piano, transforming any room into a sophisticated performance space. Its Grand Piano lid can be opened in one position, adding to its authentic aesthetic. The integrated LED display and control panel are thoughtfully designed for intuitive operation, enhancing the player’s experience.

Binaural Sampling for an Immersive Experience

Many pianists may experience ear fatigue when using headphones for extended periods. To address this, binaural sampling has been introduced. This advanced technique involves placing special microphones on a mannequin’s head at the same position as a pianist's ears, capturing the sound exactly as it would be heard in real life.

With binaural sampling, playing with headphones feels like sitting at a grand piano, providing an immersive experience that makes pianists forget they are wearing headphones, even during long practice sessions. The result is a more natural and enjoyable sound that enhances the playing experience.

Bluetooth® Audio Streaming for Enjoyable Practice and Performance

With built-in Bluetooth® audio connectivity, you can easily stream your favourite songs from a smart device directly to your CLP Series piano. The high-quality integrated speaker system delivers rich, clear playback—perfect for enjoying music or playing along with your favourite artists. Whether you're practicing, performing, or just relaxing, this feature brings a whole new dimension to your piano experience.

Record and Share Your Performances

With the CLP-800 Series, you can easily record your performances in either audio or MIDI format. Use the Smart Pianist app or connect a USB flash drive directly to the piano to capture your playing. This makes it simple to track your progress, analyze your performance, or share your music with friends and family—bringing more joy and motivation to your practice and creativity.

Built-in Rhythms to Enhance Your Performance

The CLP-800 Series includes 20 simple rhythm patterns featuring drums and bass accompaniment, allowing you to add dynamic backing to your playing. These versatile rhythms are ideal for a wide range of musical styles and make practice sessions more engaging and performances more lively—just like playing with your own backing band.

Smart Pianist App – Your Personal Piano Assistant

The free Smart Pianist app gives you full control of your CLP-800 Series piano directly from your smart device. You can easily access and adjust all instrument features, load sheet music, and explore a rich library of 303 lesson songs and 50 classical pieces. You can also import your own PDF scores, and the app will convert them into MIDI, allowing playback and interactive practice right on your piano. It's a powerful tool to help you learn, play, and grow as a pianist.
