POLISHED EBONY FINISH

The model suffix:

PE = Polished Ebony

identifies Yamaha’s premium high-gloss black cabinet finish.

Compared with the standard Black CVP-905B, the Polished Ebony cabinet provides a deeper, reflective appearance more closely associated with premium acoustic pianos.

This finish is particularly well suited to:

• Formal living rooms

• Traditional interiors

• Premium home installations

• Teaching studios

• Rooms where the instrument is intended to be a furniture centrepiece

The polished cabinet also results in a small increase in dimensions and weight.

CVP-905PE

• Polished Ebony

• 1,423mm wide

• 871mm high with music rest closed

• 593mm deep

• 84kg

CVP-905B

• Black

• 1,420mm wide

• 868mm high with music rest closed

• 592mm deep

• 82kg

GRANDTOUCH KEYBOARD

The CVP-905PE 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 detailed control over subtle variations in touch.

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

WOODEN WHITE KEYS

The CVP-905 uses:

Wooden white keys.

This gives the action a more substantial physical construction and contributes to the premium feel of the keyboard.

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, the physical weighting changes gradually across the keyboard.

Rather than dividing the action into only a small number of broad weight zones, Yamaha grades the hammer weighting across:

All 88 keys.

This creates a smoother progression from the heavier bass region towards the lighter treble.

NO COUNTERWEIGHTS

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

The CVP-905 does not feature keyboard counterweights.

The flagship CVP-909 adds counterweights to its GrandTouch action.

The CVP-905 therefore provides a highly sophisticated keyboard while leaving the absolute flagship action specification to the CVP-909.

ESCAPEMENT

The GrandTouch keyboard includes:

Escapement.

This recreates the subtle tactile sensation associated with an acoustic grand action during very soft playing.

TOUCH SENSITIVITY

Keyboard response can be adjusted through:

• Hard 2

• Hard 1

• Medium

• Soft 1

• Soft 2

This lets the dynamic response be tailored to different players and preferences.

YAMAHA CFX CONCERT GRAND

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

CFX Concert Grand.

Its clear, powerful and expressive tonal character is suitable for:

• Classical repertoire

• Contemporary piano

• Jazz

• Pop

• Accompaniment

• Solo performance

• Teaching

• Practice

BÖSENDORFER IMPERIAL

Alongside the Yamaha CFX is the:

Bösendorfer Imperial.

Bösendorfer’s rich, warm and characteristically Viennese tonal personality provides a genuine alternative to the Yamaha CFX.

The two pianos therefore offer distinct acoustic-grand characters rather than simply minor tonal variations.

BINAURAL SAMPLING

Both headline concert grands provide:

Binaural Sampling.

This applies to:

• Yamaha CFX

• Bösendorfer Imperial

When using headphones, the binaural recordings create a spatial impression designed to feel more like sitting at the piano rather than hearing a conventional left/right headphone signal.

VIRTUAL RESONANCE MODELING – VRM

Yamaha’s:

Virtual Resonance Modeling – VRM

recreates the complex sympathetic interactions found within an acoustic piano.

Strings, dampers and resonating components influence each other continuously.

VRM models these interactions dynamically, helping the piano sound respond more naturally as notes and pedals interact.

GRAND EXPRESSION MODELING

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

Differences in:

• Attack

• Release

• Dynamics

• Articulation

• Playing depth

can therefore produce corresponding changes in expression.

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

• Accompaniment Styles

• MIDI playback

• Multi-track arrangements

1,315 MAIN VOICES

The CVP-905 provides:

1,315 main Voices.

These cover an enormous variety of instruments including:

• Acoustic pianos

• Electric pianos

• Organs

• Guitars

• Bass

• Strings

• Brass

• Woodwind

• Synthesizers

• Choirs

• World instruments

• Orchestral sounds

• Percussion

The CVP-905 is therefore considerably more than a piano-only instrument.

49 DRUM/SFX KITS

In addition to its main Voice library, the CVP-905 includes:

49 Drum/SFX Kits.

These provide percussion and sound-effect resources for accompaniment, arranging and creative performance.

480 XG VOICES

The instrument also includes:

480 XG Voices.

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

SUPER ARTICULATION VOICES

Yamaha’s:

Super Articulation

technology recreates characteristic performance details of acoustic instruments.

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

• Guitar slides

• String articulations

• Instrument-specific attacks

• Breath characteristics

• Natural performance transitions

This helps many non-piano sounds respond more convincingly during performance.

525 ACCOMPANIMENT STYLES

The CVP-905PE includes:

525 accompaniment Styles.

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

Style categories cover genres including:

• Pop

• Rock

• Jazz

• Country

• Soul

• Latin

• Dance

• Ballad

• World music

• Traditional music

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 analyses the harmony you play and adapts the backing arrangement accordingly.

For solo performers and singers, this can effectively create a complete responsive backing band.

CHORD LOOPER

Chord Looper allows a chord progression to be recorded and repeated automatically.

This means the left hand does not need to continuously control the accompaniment harmony.

It can be particularly useful for:

• Improvisation

• Soloing

• Singing

• Live performance

• Building arrangements

413 BUILT-IN SONGS

The CVP-905 provides:

413 built-in Songs.

These can be used for:

• Learning

• Listening

• Playing along

• Singing

• Practice

• Exploring repertoire

SCORE DISPLAY

The integrated touchscreen can display compatible:

Music notation.

This gives the player a useful visual reference directly on the instrument.

GUIDE LAMPS

Guide Lamps can indicate which notes should be played.

This creates a direct visual link between compatible song material and the physical keyboard.

LYRICS DISPLAY

Compatible Songs containing lyric data can display:

Lyrics

on the CVP touchscreen.

This is especially useful for:

• Singing

• Karaoke

• Vocal practice

• Entertainment

TEXT VIEWER

The CVP-905 also supports:

Text display.

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

7-INCH COLOUR TOUCHSCREEN

The CVP-905 uses a:

7-inch TFT colour LCD touchscreen

with:

800 × 480-dot resolution.

The display provides central control over:

• Voices

• Styles

• Songs

• Piano Room

• Mixer functions

• Recording

• Scores

• Lyrics

• Registrations

• System settings

Unlike the CSP Series, the CVP does not require a tablet to act as its primary user interface.

PIANO ROOM

Piano Room provides a dedicated piano-focused environment.

It lets you quickly return to straightforward piano playing without navigating the wider arranger feature set.

MICROPHONE INPUT

A suitable microphone can be connected directly to the CVP-905PE.

This allows vocals to be combined with:

• Piano

• Styles

• Songs

• Accompaniment

• Vocal processing

within one integrated system.

VOCAL HARMONY

Yamaha’s:

Vocal Harmony

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

This makes the CVP-905 especially capable for:

• Singer-pianists

• Solo entertainers

• Home performance

• Karaoke

• Songwriting

MULTI-TRACK MIDI RECORDING

The CVP-905 supports:

Multi-track MIDI recording.

Different instrumental Parts can be recorded separately.

This is useful for:

• Composition

• Arranging

• Songwriting

• Teaching

• Practice

• Performance preparation

USB AUDIO RECORDER

The CVP-905 also includes a:

USB Audio Recorder.

Supported audio formats include:

• WAV

• MP3

for both playback and recording.

This allows performances to be captured as finished audio rather than only MIDI data.

AUDIO PRACTICE FUNCTIONS

Useful audio tools include:

• Time Stretch

• Pitch Shift

• Vocal Cancel

These make existing recordings much more useful for learning and performance preparation.

TIME STRETCH

Time Stretch lets compatible audio be slowed down or sped up without simply changing 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 music more useful as a backing track for your own singing or instrumental performance.

GRANDTOUCH PEDALS

The CVP-905 uses:

GrandTouch pedals.

Three pedals provide:

• Damper

• Sostenuto

• Soft

The damper pedal supports half-pedalling.

IMPORTANT GP RESPONSE DAMPER DISTINCTION

The CVP-905 uses:

GrandTouch pedals

but does not include Yamaha’s:

GP Response Damper.

That additional pedal technology is reserved for the higher:

• CVP-909

• CVP-909GP

TWO-WAY SPEAKER SYSTEM

The CVP-905PE uses:

(16cm + 2.5cm dome) × 2 speakers

powered by:

(45W + 20W) × 2 amplification.

This gives:

130W total rated amplifier output.

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

INTELLIGENT ACOUSTIC CONTROL

Intelligent Acoustic Control – IAC helps maintain tonal balance when playing at reduced volume.

This is useful for quieter home practice.

STEREOPHONIC OPTIMIZER

For suitable Voices used with headphones, Yamaha’s:

Stereophonic Optimizer

helps create a more natural spatial presentation.

Together with the dedicated CFX and Bösendorfer binaural samples, this gives the CVP-905 an excellent private-practice environment.

BLUETOOTH AUDIO

Built-in:

Bluetooth Audio

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

This is useful for:

• Practice tracks

• Playing along

• Backing tracks

• Reference listening

• General music playback

SMART PIANIST

The CVP-905 is compatible with Yamaha’s:

Smart Pianist

ecosystem for supported functions.

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

Smart Pianist therefore complements the integrated interface rather than acting as its primary control system.

REC'N'SHARE

The CVP-905 is compatible with Yamaha’s:

Rec'n'Share

app on supported devices.

This can help musicians capture performances and create shareable audio and video content.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Yamaha CVP-905PE is particularly well suited to:

CVP-905PE VS CVP-905B

CVP-905PE VS CLP-885PE

CVP-905PE

Focused on:

Piano + accompaniment + arranging + singing + entertainment

It provides:

🎵 FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Pianists, singers, families and entertainers who want premium piano performance combined with sophisticated automatic accompaniment, arranging, vocal and recording features in a traditional high-gloss cabinet.

Likely upgrade path: Older CVP owners, arranger-keyboard players, premium digital-piano users and musicians wanting one elegant instrument to replace separate piano and arranger systems.

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

Our tip: Choose the PE version because you want the Polished Ebony cabinet, not because you expect a different musical specification from the CVP-905B. Internally they are the same instrument; the PE simply gives the CVP the deep high-gloss finish many players associate with a premium acoustic piano.

FDM view: The CVP-905PE balances premium piano feel with enormous creative versatility. Its GrandTouch wooden-key action, CFX and Bösendorfer piano technology give it serious credibility as a piano, while 525 Styles, more than a thousand main Voices, Vocal Harmony, Chord Looper and integrated recording turn it into a complete home music workstation. The Polished Ebony cabinet gives that technology the elegant appearance of a traditional premium piano.
