Step into a new era of digital piano excellence with the Yamaha CLP-885, the flagship model in Yamaha’s celebrated Clavinova CLP series. Built for professionals, educators, and passionate players alike, the CLP-885 combines authentic grand piano touch, ultra-realistic sound, and cutting-edge technology into a sleek, elegant design. Whether you're practicing at home, recording in a studio, or performing live, the CLP-885 offers the closest experience to playing a concert grand piano—without the upkeep.
GrandTouch™ Keyboard with Wooden Keys and Realistic Action
At the heart of the Yamaha CLP-885 is the GrandTouch™ keyboard action, a sophisticated system designed to replicate the nuanced feel of a grand piano. The keys are crafted from real wood and finished with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops, offering a tactile surface that enhances control and prevents slipping during extended play.
The action includes escapement and counterweights, providing finely tuned resistance and balance across the full 88-key range. Each keystroke responds with precision, allowing expressive dynamics, from gentle pianissimos to thunderous fortissimos. The Linear Graded Hammer system ensures that each key has a unique weight—heavier in the lower register, lighter in the upper—for a truly authentic touch.
Binaural Sampling of Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial Pianos
The Yamaha CLP-885 uses binaural sampling technology to capture the rich, immersive sound of two of the world’s most prestigious concert grand pianos, the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial. This advanced method records sound with special microphones placed in a way that mimics human hearing, delivering a three-dimensional listening experience when using headphones.
This means that even when practicing silently, players enjoy the full realism of an acoustic piano, complete with spatial depth and resonance. The result is a more inspiring and emotionally connected performance, perfect for late-night practice or private rehearsals.
Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) for Lifelike Acoustic Sound
One of the most groundbreaking features of the Yamaha CLP-885 is Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM). Unlike traditional sample-based pianos, VRM recreates the intricate harmonic overtones that occur inside an acoustic grand piano in real time. This includes string resonance, damper resonance, and even the subtle reverberations of the piano’s wooden body.
Every note you play is influenced by the notes around it, resulting in a dynamic, ever-changing soundscape that responds organically to your playing style. With VRM, you don’t just play notes, you play a living, breathing instrument.
4-Way Speaker System with Spruce Cone Woofers
To fully showcase the depth and realism of the CLP-885’s sound engine, Yamaha equips this model with a powerful 4-way speaker system, including Spruce Cone woofers derived from the same wood used in Yamaha acoustic piano soundboards. This choice of materials adds a warm, natural resonance to the bass frequencies.
Strategically positioned speakers deliver sound across multiple directions, creating a rich stereo field that fills the room—whether you're in a living room, studio, or recital space. The result is a full-bodied tone with excellent clarity and presence at any volume level.
GP Response Damper Pedal for Advanced Expression
The CLP-885 features Yamaha’s innovative GP Response Damper Pedal, which mimics the resistance and feel of a grand piano’s damper pedal. It allows for nuanced half-pedaling, letting you control sustain with precision and delicacy.
This is an essential tool for expressive performance, enabling advanced techniques like flutter-pedaling and subtle pedal layering. Whether you're playing classical, jazz, or contemporary music, the GP Response Damper Pedal gives you the expressive control needed to bring your interpretation to life.
Bluetooth Audio and MIDI for Seamless Connectivity
Modern musicians demand modern connectivity, and the Yamaha CLP-885 delivers with Bluetooth Audio and MIDI functionality. Stream music directly from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to play along with backing tracks, or use Bluetooth MIDI to connect wirelessly to music production software and educational apps.
This feature makes the CLP-885 an ideal choice for recording artists, songwriters, and students alike, offering a flexible and convenient way to integrate your digital piano into your broader music setup.
Smart Pianist App Compatibility
Enhance your practice and performance with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app, which integrates seamlessly with the CLP-885. This powerful app allows you to control voices, adjust settings, and access a library of sheet music, all from your smart device.
Use the app’s Audio to Score feature to analyze songs in your library and generate chord charts in real time. Whether you're learning a new piece or experimenting with arrangements, Smart Pianist makes the process intuitive and engaging.
USB Audio Recording and Dual Headphone Outputs
The Yamaha CLP-885 supports USB-to-Device and USB-to-Host functionality, allowing you to record high-quality audio directly to a flash drive or your computer. Capture your compositions, performances, or practice sessions with pristine digital clarity—perfect for sharing, editing, or producing.
Additionally, dual headphone outputs let you practice or teach in silence with a partner or instructor, making the CLP-885 ideal for music schools, conservatories, and home teaching environments.
Elegant, Modern Design with Premium Finishes
The CLP-885 is more than just an instrument - it's a statement piece. With a contemporary yet classic cabinet design, soft-close fallboard, and premium finishes including polished ebony, dark rosewood, and white ash, this piano elevates any room it graces.
Its solid construction and understated elegance make it a centerpiece in both modern and traditional interiors.
