Are you looking for the elegant beauty of a grand piano in a compact space and don’t want to compromise on the sound, touch, and responsiveness of a grand piano keyboard action? If so, then the Yamaha CLP-695GP Clavinova is the perfect instrument for you. At under four feet deep, the CLP-695GP is a premium digital piano that never needs to be tuned, and boasts a 300W hi-fi sound system with speaker cones that use the same spruce wood found on the soundboard of Yamaha’s CFX Concert Grand Piano! Samples of the Yamaha CFX 9’ concert grand and Bösendorfer Imperial 9’6” grand pianos sound incredible through these speakers. Yamaha’s GrandTouch technology offers a graded action with the longest wooden keys found on digital pianos, providing exceptional keyboard leverage and responsiveness for the full range of expressive touch and rapid repetition. This paired with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops allow for a touch and feel that is unbelievably close to playing on an acoustic Grand Piano. The sound of an acoustic grand piano resonates throughout the entire body of the instrument. This produces a rich and resonant sound that envelops the listener. Yamaha skillfully recreates these sensations through Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM). VRM is a sound recreation process that goes far beyond just sampling the sounds of hammers hitting strings. Yamaha samples blends of string resonance, damper resonance and smooth release. In addition, real time sound modeling calculates the various states of the strings for each note from one instant to the next. When you play this piano, you feel the sensation of the entire instrument vibrating and providing the acoustic reactions to all other parts of the piano, from strings to frame, rim and aliquot, etc. No other digital piano provides this level of immersive acoustic sensation in such a beautiful design.
