YAMAHA INTRODUCES ITS CLAVINOVA 800 SERIES WITH THE CVP-805, CVP 809 AND CVP-809GP

RELLINGEN (August 1st, 2019) — With the introduction of the new Clavinova CVP-805, CVP-809 and CVP-809GP, Yamaha has successfully taken its highly popular Clavinova CVP series to new technical and musical heights. The Clavinova CVP-800 series represents the perfect synergy of classic and meticulous piano craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology and exquisite sound. All three models boast a stunning design with attention to the smallest details: whether the elegant CVP-805, the sophisticated CVP-809 or spectacular CVP-809GP, each one conveys a strong, confident and inviting character.

In terms of sound, the CVP-805, CVP-809 and CVP-809GP come with a whole host of features that, combined, offer players new levels of playing and composition enjoyment. The GrandTouch™ Keyboard with 88 key-linear graded hammer (and counterweights in CVP-809) heighten the tactile feel, enabling softer or stronger musical expression while playing. An additional example of digital technology combined with classic piano engineering is that all three models come with the fully digitalized sound of two of the most famous concert pianos around: the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial. These voices perfectly recreate the sound of an authentic concert grand piano in every detail. Thanks to Yamaha’s virtual resonance modeling technology, even the resonating sounds from the soundboard, rim and cast frame of a concert grand piano are perfectly replicated. Moreover, the CVP-805, CVP-809 and CVP-809GP all come with binaural samples taken from a CFX concert grand piano using specialized microphones to provide location-specific information and other subtle nuances. Created to fully immerse players in the best quality sound even while wearing headphones, this feature makes it possible for players to enjoy the full piano experience no matter what is going on around them.

The CVP-805 comes with 1,315 voices, 49 Drum/SFX kits, 480 XG voices and 525 styles for infinite music composition and creative expression. Its intuitive 7.0-inch, color LCD touchscreen offers player a whole host of functions from Piano Room, where players can assemble their own, absolutely authentic sounding band, to the Smart Pianist feature that analyzes any commercially available song in the player’s musical library and then faithfully reproduce the chords for them to play and learn. The CVP-805 also comes with built-in Bluetooth® audio and 16cm + 2,5cm (dome) 2 speaker system.

As the flagship model of the CVP-800 series, the CVP-809 comes with 1,605 voices, 58 Drum/SFX kits, 480 XG voices and 675 styles as well as all the features of the CVP-805. Its 9.0-inch color LCD touchscreen offers players maximum control of the intuitive user interface, while its two times 20cm + 2,5cm speaker system with spruce cones speakers and twisted flare port guarantee pure, authentic sound.

As the zenith of the CVP-800 series, the CVP-809GP offers a stunning grand piano look and feel that adds a touch of splendor no matter where it’s standing. Aside from its noble look and impressive sound, the CVP-809GP also comes with a 9.0-inch color LCD touchscreen, while offering players 1,605 voices, 58 Drum/SFX kits, 480 XG voices and 675 styles.
