The Yamaha CLP-295GP Clavinova offers unmatched sonic realism and exceptionally natural grand-piano type playability, and features Yamaha’s original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling technology for rich, authentic, musical voices.

The special Natural Wood keyboard uses real wood white keys, to reproduce as closely as possible the experience of playing an actual acoustic grand piano.

Thanks to these two keyboard types, you can use performance techniques previously possible only on grand pianos—such as playing the same note successively and having sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally. The remarkably authentic Grand Piano 1 voice on both instruments also features:

• Dynamic Sampling, using velocity-switched samples for extra realism;
• String Resonance, which recreates the rich resonance of piano strings;
• Sustain Sampling, which uses samples of the resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings made when the damper pedal is pressed; and
• Keyoff Samples, which add the subtle, characteristic sounds produced when keys are released.
