The CLP-800 Series Difference

The CLP-800 Series has been designed to blur the line between acoustic and digital. Using cutting-edge technologies like Grand Expression Modeling and Virtual Resonance Modeling, these instruments respond to the nuances of your playing just as a concert grand would. The result is a personal, expressive performance every time you sit down at the keys.

Digital Benefits with Acoustic Authenticity

Unlike a traditional piano, the CLP-835 comes packed with modern conveniences. Practise silently with headphones, enjoy Bluetooth audio streaming, or explore the built-in lesson songs and rhythm accompaniments. Integration with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app provides further flexibility, allowing you to adjust settings, layer sounds, or split voices directly from your smart device.

Playability and Sensitivity

Equipped with the GrandTouch-S™ keyboard, the CLP-835 provides a realistic grand piano touch, complete with escapement and textured key surfaces. This means the keys not only look and feel authentic but also respond with a broad dynamic range and fine control. Grand Expression Modeling ensures that every variation of touch, from the lightest pianissimo to the boldest fortissimo, translates into beautifully expressive tone.

Sound and Resonance

Drawing on voices from Yamaha’s CFX concert grand and the Bösendorfer Imperial, the CLP-835 provides players with a wide tonal palette. It also includes fortepiano voices, giving you the chance to explore the distinctive sound of historic instruments. With Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) simulating the complex interactions of strings and body resonance, every note feels alive and natural. Paired with a carefully engineered speaker system and acoustic design, the CLP-835 produces a tone that is both powerful and authentic.

Smart Pianist App Integration

The Yamaha Smart Pianist app turns your smartphone or tablet into a powerful control hub. Adjust parameters like tuning, transposition, and pedal response, or virtually open and close the piano’s “lid” for different tonal colours. The app also allows for easy layering and splitting of voices, or even placing your performance in different acoustic environments. It’s an intuitive, free tool that enhances every aspect of your CLP-835.
