INTRODUCTION

The Yamaha CVP-905B Clavinova Digital Piano in Black combines serious grand-piano-inspired performance with the extraordinary accompaniment, arranging, singing, recording and entertainment capabilities of Yamaha’s CVP-900 Series.

At its heart is Yamaha’s premium GrandTouch keyboard, featuring:

• 88 weighted keys

• Synthetic ivory and ebony keytops

• Escapement

• 88-key Linear Graded Hammers

This sophisticated keyboard is paired with two world-class concert grand piano sounds:

Both also benefit from dedicated binaural sampling for immersive headphone practice, while Virtual Resonance Modeling – VRM and Grand Expression Modeling recreate the rich resonance and expressive response associated with an acoustic grand piano.

But the CVP-905B goes far beyond conventional digital-piano functionality.

Its large 7-inch colour touchscreen gives direct access to:

• 1,315 Voices

• 49 Drum/SFX Kits

• 480 XG Voices

• 525 accompaniment Styles

• 413 built-in Songs

• Piano Room

• Score display

• Lyrics display

• Vocal Harmony

• Microphone functionality

• Chord Looper

• Multi-track recording

• USB audio recording

• Bluetooth Audio

• Smart Pianist connectivity

• Rec'n'Share compatibility

This creates an instrument capable of being a premium home piano one moment and a complete arranging, accompaniment and entertainment workstation the next.

Finished in classic Black, the Yamaha CVP-905B is a superb choice for pianists, families, singers, composers and entertainers who want far more creative versatility than a conventional digital piano can provide.

GRANDTOUCH KEYBOARD

The CVP-905B uses Yamaha’s premium:

GrandTouch keyboard.

It features:

• 88 weighted keys

• Wooden white keys

• Synthetic ivory white-key surfaces

• Synthetic ebony black-key surfaces

• Escapement

• 88-key Linear Graded Hammers

GrandTouch is designed to provide a broad dynamic range and fine control over subtle variations in touch.

The longer key pivot also makes playing towards the rear of the keys more comfortable, particularly in repertoire containing extensive black-key work.

WOODEN WHITE KEYS

The white keys use genuine wooden construction.

This is an important part of the CVP-905's premium playing experience and gives the keyboard a more substantial physical feel than conventional moulded digital-piano keys.

The black keys are not wooden.

88-KEY LINEAR GRADED HAMMERS

The CVP-905 features:

88-key Linear Graded Hammers.

On an acoustic grand piano, every key has subtly different physical weighting.

Rather than dividing the keyboard into only a handful of broad weight zones, Yamaha grades the hammer response across all:

88 individual keys.

The result is a more progressive transition from the heavier bass end to the lighter treble.

NO COUNTERWEIGHTS

One important distinction between the CVP-905 and flagship CVP-909 is:

The CVP-905 does not feature keyboard counterweights.

The CVP-909 adds counterweights to its GrandTouch keyboard.

This makes the CVP-905 extremely sophisticated in its own right, but the CVP-909 remains the higher-specification action within the CVP-900 range.

ESCAPEMENT

The GrandTouch keyboard includes:

Escapement.

This recreates the subtle tactile sensation associated with the escapement mechanism of an acoustic grand piano during very soft playing.

TOUCH SENSITIVITY

Keyboard response can be adjusted through:

• Hard 2

• Hard 1

• Medium

• Soft 1

• Soft 2

This allows the relationship between playing force and resulting dynamics to be tailored to the player.

YAMAHA CFX CONCERT GRAND

The CVP-905B features the sound of Yamaha’s flagship:

CFX Concert Grand.

The CFX delivers a clear, powerful and highly expressive piano sound suitable for:

• Classical repertoire

• Contemporary piano

• Jazz

• Pop

• Accompaniment

• Solo performance

BÖSENDORFER IMPERIAL

Alongside the Yamaha CFX is the:

Bösendorfer Imperial.

Bösendorfer’s rich, warm and characteristically Viennese tonal identity provides a genuine alternative to the brighter and more projecting character of the CFX.

These are not simply different EQ settings.

They represent two distinctly different concert-grand personalities.

BINAURAL SAMPLING

Both headline concert grands are available with:

Binaural Sampling.

This includes:

• Yamaha CFX

• Bösendorfer Imperial

When practising through headphones, binaural sampling creates a more natural sense of space around the player.

This can make extended private practice significantly more immersive.

VIRTUAL RESONANCE MODELING – VRM

Yamaha’s:

Virtual Resonance Modeling – VRM

recreates the complex sympathetic interactions found within an acoustic piano.

Strings, dampers and other resonating components interact continuously as an acoustic piano is played.

VRM models these relationships dynamically rather than treating each note as an isolated sample.

GRAND EXPRESSION MODELING

Grand Expression Modeling recreates the relationship between the pianist’s physical playing technique and the resulting tonal response.

Differences in:

• Attack

• Release

• Speed

• Depth

• Dynamics

can therefore create more nuanced changes in the sound.

Combined with the GrandTouch keyboard, this provides a sophisticated platform for expressive piano playing.

256-NOTE POLYPHONY

The CVP-905 provides:

256-note maximum polyphony.

This gives ample capacity for:

• Complex piano repertoire

• Extensive sustain-pedal use

• Layered Voices

• Automatic accompaniment

• MIDI playback

• Multi-track arrangements

1,315 VOICES

The CVP-905 provides:

1,315 high-quality Voices

before the additional XG sound set is counted.

These cover an enormous range of instruments including:

• Acoustic pianos

• Electric pianos

• Organs

• Guitars

• Bass

• Strings

• Brass

• Woodwind

• Synthesizers

• Choirs

• World instruments

• Orchestral sounds

• Percussion

This makes the CVP-905 much more than a premium digital piano.

49 DRUM/SFX KITS

In addition to the main Voices, the CVP-905 includes:

49 Drum/SFX Kits.

These provide percussion and sound-effect resources for Styles, arrangements and creative performance.

480 XG VOICES

The instrument also provides:

480 XG Voices.

These broaden compatibility with General MIDI/XG song data and further expand the available sound palette.

SUPER ARTICULATION VOICES

Yamaha’s acclaimed:

Super Articulation

technology recreates characteristic performance details of acoustic instruments.

Depending on the Voice and playing technique, this can reproduce behaviours such as:

• Guitar slides

• String articulations

• Breath noises

• Instrument-specific attacks

• Natural performance transitions

This helps non-piano Voices sound much more convincing during live performance.

525 ACCOMPANIMENT STYLES

The CVP-905 provides:

525 Styles.

These generate sophisticated automatic backing arrangements that respond to the chords you play.

Style categories cover genres such as:

• Pop

• Rock

• Jazz

• Country

• Soul

• Latin

• Dance

• Ballad

• World music

• Traditional music

A single performer can therefore control a complete backing arrangement from the keyboard.

YOUR OWN BACKING BAND

Depending on the selected Style, accompaniment can include:

• Drums

• Bass

• Guitar

• Piano

• Keyboard

• Strings

• Brass

• Percussion

• Additional instrumental Parts

The CVP follows the harmony being played and adapts the backing arrangement accordingly.

For singers, solo performers and recreational musicians, this is one of the biggest differences between CVP and a conventional digital piano.

CHORD LOOPER

Chord Looper allows a chord sequence to be recorded and played back automatically.

This frees the left hand from continuously controlling accompaniment harmony.

It can be particularly useful for:

• Soloing

• Improvisation

• Singing

• Live performance

• Building arrangements

413 BUILT-IN SONGS

The CVP-905 includes:

413 built-in Songs.

These provide material for:

• Learning

• Listening

• Playing along

• Singing

• Exploring repertoire

SCORE DISPLAY

The 7-inch touchscreen can display compatible:

Music notation.

This gives the player an integrated visual reference without requiring a separate music book or tablet for compatible Song material.

GUIDE LAMPS

Guide lamps positioned around the keyboard can indicate which keys should be played.

This gives developing players a direct visual connection between the displayed music and the physical keyboard.

LYRICS DISPLAY

Compatible Songs containing lyric data can display:

Lyrics

on the CVP touchscreen.

This is particularly useful when singing with accompaniment or using karaoke-style material.

TEXT VIEWER

The CVP-905 also provides:

Text display functionality.

Compatible text information can therefore be shown directly on the instrument.

7-INCH COLOUR TOUCHSCREEN

The CVP-905 uses a:

7.0-inch TFT colour LCD touchscreen

with a resolution of:

800 × 480 dots.

The touchscreen acts as the central interface for:

• Voices

• Styles

• Songs

• Mixer settings

• Piano Room

• Recording

• Lyrics

• Scores

• Registrations

• System settings

Unlike the CSP Series, the CVP does not depend on a tablet for its main user interface.

PIANO ROOM

Piano Room provides a dedicated environment for piano-focused playing.

It allows quick access to different piano sounds and acoustic environments without navigating the wider arranger feature set.

This makes it easy to use the CVP-905 simply as a premium piano when that is all you want.

MICROPHONE INPUT

The CVP-905 allows a suitable microphone to be connected directly to the instrument.

This makes it possible to combine:

• Singing

• Piano

• Styles

• Song playback

• Vocal processing

within one integrated system.

VOCAL HARMONY

Yamaha’s:

Vocal Harmony

system can process a connected microphone signal and generate harmony parts.

This makes the CVP particularly capable for:

• Singer-pianists

• Solo entertainers

• Home performance

• Karaoke

• Songwriting

MULTI-TRACK MIDI RECORDING

The CVP-905 provides:

Multi-track MIDI recording.

Different instrumental Parts can be recorded separately, making the system suitable for:

• Composition

• Arrangement

• Songwriting

• Practice

• Teaching

• Performance preparation

USB AUDIO RECORDER

The CVP-905 also includes a:

USB Audio Recorder.

Supported playback and recording formats include:

• WAV

• MP3

This lets performances be captured as finished audio rather than only MIDI performance data.

AUDIO PRACTICE FUNCTIONS

Compatible audio can be manipulated using useful practice tools including:

• Time Stretch

• Pitch Shift

• Vocal Cancel

These provide powerful ways to practise with existing recordings.

TIME STRETCH

Time Stretch allows compatible audio to be slowed down or sped up without simply changing its musical pitch.

This is particularly useful when learning difficult passages.

PITCH SHIFT

Pitch Shift allows compatible audio to be moved into another key.

This is useful for:

• Singers

• Instrumentalists

• Playing along

• Adapting backing tracks

VOCAL CANCEL

Vocal Cancel can reduce centrally positioned vocal material in compatible recordings.

This can make existing songs more useful as backing tracks for your own singing or playing.

GRANDTOUCH PEDALS

The CVP-905 uses:

GrandTouch pedals.

Three pedals provide:

• Sustain

• Sostenuto

• Soft

The damper pedal supports half-pedalling.

GrandTouch pedals are designed to recreate the change in physical resistance associated with operating a grand piano pedal mechanism.

IMPORTANT GP RESPONSE DAMPER DISTINCTION

The CVP-905 has:

GrandTouch pedals

but does not have Yamaha’s additional:

GP Response Damper

system.

GP Response Damper is provided on the higher CVP-909 and CVP-909GP.

TWO-WAY SPEAKER SYSTEM

The CVP-905 uses:

(16cm + 2.5cm dome) × 2 speakers

powered by:

(45W + 20W) × 2 amplification.

This produces:

130W total rated amplification.

The two-way architecture divides the frequency spectrum between different drivers to provide improved clarity and definition.

INTELLIGENT ACOUSTIC CONTROL

Intelligent Acoustic Control – IAC helps maintain tonal balance when the instrument is played at lower volume.

This is particularly useful for evening or quiet home practice.

STEREOPHONIC OPTIMIZER

For suitable Voices used with headphones, Stereophonic Optimizer helps create a more natural spatial presentation.

Together with the dedicated binaural CFX and Bösendorfer samples, the CVP-905 provides an excellent private-practice experience.

BLUETOOTH AUDIO

Built-in:

Bluetooth Audio

allows compatible devices to stream music wirelessly through the CVP-905 speaker system.

This is useful for:

• Practice

• Playing along

• Backing tracks

• Reference listening

• General music playback

SMART PIANIST

The CVP-905 supports Yamaha’s:

Smart Pianist

ecosystem for compatible functions.

Unlike the CSP Series, however, the CVP already has its own sophisticated integrated touchscreen interface.

Smart Pianist therefore complements the onboard interface rather than replacing it.

REC'N'SHARE

The CVP-905 is compatible with Yamaha’s:

Rec'n'Share

app on supported devices.

This can help musicians capture performances with compatible smart devices and create shareable audio/video content.

DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT

The Yamaha CVP-905B measures approximately:

Width: 1,420mm
Height: 868mm
Depth: 592mm
Weight: 82kg

These measurements apply to the standard non-polished Black version.

The polished CVP-905PE is marginally larger and heavier.

BLACK FINISH

The model suffix:

B = Black

identifies Yamaha’s standard Black cabinet.

This is distinct from:

PE = Polished Ebony

which uses Yamaha’s premium reflective high-gloss finish.

The Black version provides a more understated appearance while retaining exactly the same core musical specification.

🎵 FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Pianists, singers, families and entertainers who want a genuinely premium piano alongside sophisticated automatic accompaniment, arranging, vocal and recording features.

Likely upgrade path: Older CVP owners, arranger-keyboard users, high-end digital-piano players and musicians wanting to consolidate a piano and arranger workstation into one elegant instrument.

Useful pairings: Quality headphones, a suitable vocal microphone, USB storage and compatible smart devices for Smart Pianist or Rec'n'Share.

Our tip: The strongest reason to choose CVP rather than CSP is the interface. The CVP-905 puts its sophisticated controls directly into the instrument through the 7-inch touchscreen, so you can access Styles, Voices, scores, lyrics, recordings and arranger functions without making a tablet the centre of the experience.

FDM view: The CVP-905B is far more than a digital piano with some extra sounds. Its GrandTouch wooden-key action, CFX and Bösendorfer piano technology give it serious piano credentials, while 525 Styles, more than a thousand main Voices, Vocal Harmony, Chord Looper and integrated recording turn it into a complete musical workstation. For customers who want one instrument capable of serious piano practice, arranging, singing and entertainment, it is exceptionally versatile.
