The CVP 305 offers a versatile selection of over 800 voices, including incredibly realistic Piano voices, XG voices and new Sweet, Live, Cool and Natural voices. Sweet voices capture the delicate nuances of wind and brass instruments. Live voices accurately reproduce the unique characteristics of acoustic instruments and cool voices the subtlest tones of electronic instruments.

Producing a Clavinova digital piano that is musically more powerful and packed with more innovative features than previous models is a tough enough brief to work to but when the instrument functionality must also be a radical departure from normal design rules then it becomes then it becomes a massive challenge.

Fantastic Piano Action

To ensure the entire range acknowledges the principal benefits that appeal to customers across the board all models feature the critically acclaimed Graded hammer (GH) keyboard action, which replicates the feel and touch of an acoustic piano with precise accuracy. This is thanks to a unique weighting system which creates the sensation of the keys in the lowers register offering slightly more resistance than those in the higher register replicating the feel of the strings and mechanism of a traditional grand piano.

Digital Expertise

Epitomising Yamahas legendary attention to detail and obsessive search for constant improvement the new range of Clavinova models also bring together Yamahas century deep experience in crafting world class acoustic pianos with its market leading digital music technology expertise.

Great for Beginners

All models are ideal for beginner and professional alike. For the first time pianist the Clavinova helpfully offers an easy to use guide lamp system which allows the player to follow the sheet music or on screen notation as lamps above each key light up indicating the correct notes. This superb and interactive function works with professionally orchestrated accompaniments making practice and performance exiting and fun.

Awesome Tyros Voices

Yamaha have brought the same voice set to the Clavinova that recently led to the award-winning TYROS being voted the worlds best keyboard. Over 850 stunningly realistic voices including Yamahas unique Sweet, Cool, Live and Natural voices bring amazing reality to the players performance. As with music itself, the most subtle changes and nuances can make the most difference and this is true of the new CVP voice set: Sweet voices incorporate delicate changes in vibrato, tone and breath control whilst Cool and Natural voices capture the unique characteristics of the selected instruments.

Easy to See Colour Screen

The new colour LCD display is designed to ensure the instrument is easy to use with all functions and operations easily accessible and instantly available Vocal harmony functions, registration memories and one touch settings further add to the unique performance characteristics of the new range.

16 track sequencer

The on board disk drive allows compositions to be readily saved.
