Description

INTRODUCTION

The Yamaha CSP-295GPWH Clavinova Smart Digital Grand Piano in Polished White combines flagship-level piano performance with the extraordinary interactive, educational and entertainment capabilities of Yamaha’s CSP-200 Series.

Designed in an elegant grand piano-style cabinet with an opening piano top, the CSP-295GPWH is much more than a premium digital piano.

At its heart is Yamaha’s flagship GrandTouch keyboard, featuring wooden white keys, synthetic ebony and ivory keytops, escapement, counterweights and 88-key Linear Graded Hammers for a highly expressive, grand-piano-inspired playing experience.

The piano sound is built around two world-class concert grands:

  • Yamaha CFX

  • Bösendorfer Imperial

Both feature dedicated binaural sampling and are enhanced by Yamaha technologies including Virtual Resonance Modeling – VRM and Grand Expression Modeling.

But where the CSP-295GPWH really separates itself from a conventional premium digital piano is its extraordinary creative capability.

Connect Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app and the CSP becomes an intuitive musical workstation, providing access to 919 sounds including 872 Voices and 47 Drum/SFX Kits, 525 accompaniment Styles, 403 preset Songs, Stream Lights, Audio to Score, microphone input, Vocal Harmony and sophisticated recording functions.

The CSP-295GPWH therefore brings together:

Flagship piano performance.

Interactive learning.

Automatic accompaniment.

Singing and vocal harmony.

Music production and recording.

Smart-device control.

All within a stunning Polished White grand-style cabinet.

FLAGSHIP GRANDTOUCH KEYBOARD

The CSP-295GPWH uses Yamaha’s:

GrandTouch keyboard.

This premium 88-note action incorporates:

  • Wooden white keys

  • Synthetic ivory white-key surfaces

  • Synthetic ebony black-key surfaces

  • Escapement

  • Counterweights

  • 88-key Linear Graded Hammers

It is designed to provide the broad dynamic range and detailed control expected from a premium piano.

88-KEY LINEAR GRADED HAMMERS

The CSP-295GP features:

88-key Linear Graded Hammers.

Rather than dividing the keyboard into only a handful of broad weight zones, hammer weighting changes progressively across all 88 keys.

This provides a more nuanced progression from the heavier bass register towards the lighter treble.

COUNTERWEIGHTS

The GrandTouch action also incorporates:

Counterweights.

These help optimise key movement and control, particularly during delicate passages and expressive playing.

Combined with the Linear Graded Hammer system, this places the CSP-295GP at the top end of Yamaha’s CSP keyboard specification.

ESCAPEMENT

GrandTouch also incorporates an escapement sensation designed to recreate the subtle tactile response associated with playing softly on an acoustic grand piano.

YAMAHA CFX CONCERT GRAND

The CSP-295GPWH features the sound of Yamaha’s flagship:

CFX Concert Grand.

The CFX provides a powerful, clear and expressive concert-grand character suitable for everything from classical repertoire to contemporary piano.

BÖSENDORFER IMPERIAL

Alongside the Yamaha CFX is the:

Bösendorfer Imperial.

Bösendorfer is Yamaha’s historic Viennese piano marque.

Its distinctive warm and rich tonal character gives the pianist a genuine alternative to the Yamaha CFX.

BINAURAL SAMPLING

Both the:

Yamaha CFX

and:

Bösendorfer Imperial

feature binaural sampling for an immersive headphone experience.

Binaural sampling is designed to reproduce a natural spatial perspective around the pianist rather than making the sound appear to originate directly inside the headphones.

VIRTUAL RESONANCE MODELING – VRM

Yamaha’s:

Virtual Resonance Modeling – VRM

recreates the complex sympathetic resonance behaviour of an acoustic piano.

Strings, soundboard, cabinet and pedals interact continuously on a real piano.

VRM models these relationships dynamically so the sound changes naturally according to the notes being played and the way the pedals are being used.

GRAND EXPRESSION MODELING

Grand Expression Modeling helps reproduce the relationship between the pianist’s physical touch and the resulting tonal response.

Combined with the GrandTouch keyboard, this allows subtle differences in technique to translate into greater musical expression.

KEY-OFF SAMPLES & SMOOTH RELEASE

The CSP-295GP also incorporates:

Key-Off Samples

and:

Smooth Release.

These technologies reproduce subtle tonal details associated with the way notes are released, adding another layer of realism to the piano experience.

256-NOTE POLYPHONY

Maximum polyphony is:

256 notes.

This provides substantial capacity for:

  • Complex piano repertoire

  • Extensive pedal use

  • Layered Voices

  • Automatic accompaniment

  • MIDI playback

  • Multi-part arrangements

919 VOICES & DRUM/SFX SOUNDS

The CSP-295GP is much more than an acoustic piano simulator.

It provides:

872 Voices

plus:

47 Drum/SFX Kits.

That gives a huge sound library covering categories including:

  • Acoustic pianos

  • Electric pianos

  • Organs

  • Strings

  • Brass

  • Woodwind

  • Guitars

  • Bass

  • Synthesizers

  • Choirs

  • Percussion

  • Orchestral instruments

  • World instruments

  • Drum kits

  • Sound effects

This enormous sound library transforms the CSP-295GP from a premium piano into a remarkably versatile creative instrument.

525 ACCOMPANIMENT STYLES

The CSP-295GP includes:

525 accompaniment Styles.

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

Style categories cover a broad range of musical genres, allowing you to perform with accompaniment resembling a complete backing band.

Each Style provides:

  • Intro

  • Ending

  • Four Main variations

  • Four Fill In variations

This gives performances far greater variation than a simple rhythm accompaniment.

YOUR PERSONAL BACKING BAND

Automatic accompaniment can provide:

  • Drums

  • Bass

  • Guitar

  • Keyboard

  • Strings

  • Brass

  • Other instrumental parts

according to the selected Style.

Play the harmony and the CSP can create a responsive backing arrangement around you.

For solo performers, singers, songwriters and players who simply enjoy making music at home, this is one of the biggest differences between the CSP and a conventional piano-focused Clavinova.

403 PRESET SONGS

The CSP-295GP provides:

403 preset Songs.

These can be used for:

  • Listening

  • Learning

  • Playing along

  • Practice

  • Exploring different musical styles

SMART PIANIST

At the centre of the CSP experience is Yamaha’s:

Smart Pianist

app.

Rather than covering the piano itself with a large control panel, Yamaha places detailed control within a compatible smartphone or tablet.

Smart Pianist provides intuitive access to functions including:

  • Voice selection

  • Styles

  • Songs

  • Piano settings

  • Recording

  • Accompaniment

  • Learning features

  • Music playback

  • Audio to Score

The result is a sophisticated instrument that retains a clean, piano-like physical appearance.

STREAM LIGHTS

One of the CSP Series’ signature learning technologies is:

Stream Lights.

Lights above the keyboard indicate which notes should be played.

The system provides:

Four-step guidance.

This creates an intuitive visual route into learning songs and can be particularly useful for players who are developing their music-reading skills.

AUDIO TO SCORE

Audio to Score is one of the CSP Series’ standout Smart Pianist features.

The system analyses compatible music on your smart device and automatically creates a piano accompaniment score.

This allows you to explore and play along with music you already enjoy rather than being restricted solely to the instrument's built-in song library.

LESSON & GUIDE FUNCTIONS

The CSP-295GP provides Yamaha guide functions including:

  • Correct Key

  • Any Key

  • Karao-Key

  • Your Tempo

Together with Stream Lights, these provide several ways to approach learning and practising music.

PIANO ROOM

Piano Room provides a dedicated environment for quickly accessing and adjusting piano-focused settings.

This makes it easy to return to a straightforward premium piano experience even though the CSP contains an enormous range of additional functionality.

MICROPHONE INPUT

A dedicated:

Mic/Line input

allows a microphone to be connected directly to the CSP-295GP.

Input volume can be adjusted to suit the connected source.

This turns the instrument into a complete piano, accompaniment and vocal-performance system.

VOCAL HARMONY

The CSP-295GP provides:

44 Vocal Harmony types.

Connect a suitable microphone and the instrument can add harmony processing to your singing.

Combined with automatic accompaniment, this allows one performer to create a surprisingly complete musical arrangement.

16-TRACK MIDI RECORDING

The CSP-295GP supports:

16-track MIDI recording

in SMF Format 0.

Multi-track recording makes it possible to build arrangements part by part rather than recording only a single piano performance.

This can be useful for:

  • Composition

  • Arranging

  • Songwriting

  • Practice

  • Teaching

  • Creative production

AUDIO PLAYBACK & RECORDING

The CSP platform also provides audio playback and recording functionality through compatible Smart Pianist workflows.

Supported functionality includes:

  • WAV

  • AAC

  • Time Stretch

  • Pitch Shift

  • Melody Suppressor

This gives players powerful tools for practising with existing music.

TIME STRETCH

Time Stretch allows compatible audio playback speed to be adjusted without simply changing the musical pitch.

This can be extremely useful when learning difficult passages.

PITCH SHIFT

Pitch Shift allows compatible audio to be transposed.

This can be useful for singers, instrumentalists and players who need music moved into a more suitable key.

MELODY SUPPRESSOR

Melody Suppressor can reduce the prominence of centrally positioned lead material in compatible audio.

This can make it easier to play or sing the lead part yourself.

GRANDTOUCH PEDALS

The CSP-295GP features:

GrandTouch pedals.

The three pedals provide:

  • Damper

  • Sostenuto

  • Soft

The damper supports half-pedalling.

GP RESPONSE DAMPER

The damper pedal incorporates Yamaha’s:

GP Response Damper.

This is designed to reproduce the changing pedal resistance experienced on an acoustic grand piano.

For serious pianists, it gives pedalling a more natural physical response.

GRAND ACOUSTIC IMAGING

The CSP-295GP uses Yamaha’s:

Grand Acoustic Imaging

approach to create a broad and immersive sound field around the pianist.

Careful speaker positioning, cabinet acoustics and acoustic technologies help different frequency ranges appear to radiate naturally from the instrument.

FLAGSHIP GRAND-STYLE SPEAKER SYSTEM

The CSP-295GPWH incorporates a powerful multi-way speaker architecture.

Amplification is:

(50W + 50W + 40W) × 2

giving a total rated amplifier output of:

280 watts.

Speaker configuration is:

(16cm + 8cm + 2.5cm dome with Waveguide) × 2 + 20cm

with:

  • Spruce Cone Speaker

  • Waveguides

  • Twisted Flare Port

This powerful system takes advantage of the grand-style cabinet to create an expansive acoustic presentation.

SPRUCE CONE SPEAKER

The CSP-295GP incorporates Yamaha’s:

Spruce Cone Speaker

technology.

Spruce is also fundamental to traditional acoustic-piano soundboard construction and forms part of Yamaha’s approach to creating a natural piano presentation.

TWISTED FLARE PORT

The grand-style CSP-295GP also incorporates a:

Twisted Flare Port.

This technology is designed to optimise low-frequency airflow and contributes to the instrument’s powerful bass reproduction.

INTELLIGENT ACOUSTIC CONTROL

Intelligent Acoustic Control – IAC helps preserve tonal balance when playing at lower volume levels.

This is useful for home playing where the full capability of the 280W amplification system may not always be appropriate.

HEADPHONE PRACTICE

Two standard stereo headphone connections are provided.

For the CFX and Bösendorfer piano Voices, binaural sampling creates an immersive private-practice experience.

Stereophonic Optimizer also helps create a more natural headphone presentation with suitable other Voices.

BLUETOOTH AUDIO

Bluetooth Audio allows compatible devices to stream music wirelessly through the CSP-295GP’s powerful built-in speaker system, subject to regional availability.

BLUETOOTH MIDI

Bluetooth MIDI provides wireless communication with compatible devices and is particularly useful for connecting to:

Smart Pianist.

Regional availability applies.

CONNECTIVITY

The CSP-295GP provides extensive connectivity including:

  • 2 × standard stereo headphone outputs

  • Mic/Line input

  • Input volume control

  • MIDI IN

  • MIDI OUT

  • MIDI THRU

  • AUX IN

  • AUX OUT L/L+R and R

  • AUX Pedal

  • USB TO DEVICE

CSP-295GP VS CSP-295

The CSP-295GP and CSP-295 share the same core flagship CSP technology.

Both provide:

  • GrandTouch keyboard

  • GrandTouch pedals

  • 1,237mm depth

  • 133kg

  • Additional 20cm speaker

  • Standard three-pedal configuration with GP Response Damper

  • No additional 20cm speaker

  • 99–104kg depending on finish

Choose the CSP-295GP when grand-piano appearance and its enhanced cabinet acoustic architecture are important.

Choose the CSP-295 when you want the flagship CSP feature set in a considerably more compact upright-style cabinet.

CSP-295GP VS CLP-895GP

These two grand-style Clavinovas share some exceptional piano technology, but they have very different personalities.

CSP-295GP

Designed around:

Piano + learning + accompaniment + creativity + entertainment

Key advantages include:

  • 872 Voices + 47 Drum/SFX Kits

  • 525 Styles

  • 403 Songs

  • Stream Lights

  • Audio to Score

  • Smart Pianist-centred operation

  • Microphone input

  • Automatic accompaniment

  • 16-track recording

  • Extensive creative features

CLP-895GP

Designed primarily around:

Premium acoustic-piano simulation

The CLP approach is more deliberately piano-focused.

Choose the CSP-295GP when you want flagship piano quality combined with an enormous interactive and creative feature set.

Choose the CLP-895GP when your priority is a more dedicated piano-focused Clavinova experience.

CSP-295GP VS CVP-909GP

Both instruments combine premium piano performance with extensive creative functionality, but their user interfaces are fundamentally different.

CSP-295GP

  • Smart Pianist-centred operation

  • Clean physical control interface

  • Stream Lights

  • Audio to Score

  • Smart-device-led experience

  • Grand-style cabinet

CVP-909GP

  • Integrated touchscreen-led interface

  • Extensive onboard visual control

  • Premium CVP arranger and entertainment environment

  • Grand-style cabinet

The CSP is particularly attractive for players who like using a smartphone or tablet as the central interface.

The CVP approach is better suited to players who prefer the instrument's sophisticated interface to be built directly into the piano.

🎵 FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Pianists and families who want a genuinely premium piano but also want far more than traditional piano functionality — particularly interactive learning, backing Styles, singing, arranging and Smart Pianist integration.

Likely upgrade path: Existing CSP owners, premium arranger-piano users, older Clavinova CVP/CSP owners and players moving from a conventional digital piano who want a dramatically broader creative feature set.

Useful pairings: A compatible tablet running Yamaha Smart Pianist, quality headphones for private practice, a suitable vocal microphone and appropriate USB connectivity/accessories.

Our tip: Don't think of the CSP-295GP simply as a CLP with extra sounds. Its whole operating philosophy is different. Smart Pianist, Stream Lights, 525 Styles, Audio to Score, microphone input and Vocal Harmony make it a much more interactive instrument. If those features appeal to you, the CSP can do things a conventional piano-focused digital instrument simply isn't designed to do.

FDM view: The CSP-295GPWH is one of Yamaha's most complete home music instruments. It manages to combine a serious GrandTouch piano action and world-class CFX/Bösendorfer piano sounds with technology that can help a beginner learn, give an experienced player a full backing band, accompany a singer and provide a huge palette for songwriting and arranging. The Polished White grand-style cabinet then turns all of that technology into a spectacular centrepiece.

The CSP centres much of its advanced operation around Yamaha Smart Pianist on a compatible smart device.

The CVP provides a sophisticated integrated interface directly on the instrument.

Both offer extensive creative functionality, but the way you interact with them is significantly different.
