Why The CLP-885 Feels Different

The CLP-885 has been developed to recreate the complex interaction between pianist and instrument that defines a grand piano. Yamaha’s GrandTouch counterweighted keyboard combines individually weighted wooden keys with counterweights and GP Response Damper pedals for exceptional control, balance and expressive capability.

Grand Expression Modelling allows subtle playing dynamics and touch variations to shape the piano tone naturally, helping players develop greater expression and musical control. Combined with Virtual Resonance Modelling, the CLP-885 recreates the sympathetic resonance and tonal interaction found in an acoustic grand piano.

The result is a digital piano experience that feels highly responsive, immersive and rewarding for advanced musical performance.

Yamaha CFX & Bösendorfer Imperial Piano Voices

The CLP-885 includes meticulously sampled voices from two world-renowned concert grands: Yamaha’s flagship CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial. From bright, powerful concert performance to warm and lyrical European character, the CLP-885 gives players access to distinct premium grand piano experiences within one instrument.

Additional fortepiano voices and advanced resonance modelling further enhance realism and musical depth, making the CLP-885 equally suited to classical repertoire, expressive solo playing and contemporary performance styles.

Grand Acoustic Imaging & Premium Speaker System

The CLP-885 features Yamaha’s most advanced Grand Acoustic Imaging speaker system in the CLP Series, designed to reproduce the spacious sound field and natural projection of a grand piano. Carefully positioned speakers, spruce cone technology and dedicated diffusers help create a highly immersive listening experience whether practising quietly at home or performing in larger living spaces.

Its powerful amplification system delivers impressive clarity, depth and dynamic range while preserving subtle tonal detail across the keyboard.

Bluetooth, Smart Features & Recording

Built-in Bluetooth Audio allows you to stream music wirelessly through the CLP-885 speaker system and play along with your favourite tracks.

Bluetooth MIDI connectivity also supports integration with compatible music apps and recording software, while Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app provides intuitive control over instrument settings, voices and lesson content.

USB audio/MIDI recording functionality makes it easy to capture performances and practice sessions directly from the piano.

Elegant Clavinova Design

The CLP-885 combines advanced digital piano technology with elegant Clavinova cabinetry designed to complement premium modern interiors. Its substantial upright-style cabinet, refined detailing and soft-close key cover recreate the appearance and presence of a luxury acoustic piano while maintaining the practicality and reliability of a digital instrument.

The Satin Black finish offers a classic contemporary appearance suitable for both traditional and modern home environments.
