Yamaha Clavinova CLP-635 Digital Piano in Dark Walnut

The Yamaha CLP-635 digital piano is another great addition to the Clavinova 600 series. Seen here is the Dark Walnut edition of this beautiful home piano.

Dark Walnut Clavinova CLP-635 Digital Piano

With the fantastic sounds of two world-renowned concert grand pianos, the Yamaha Clavinova CLP-635 is an inspiring digital piano.

Yamaha’s own Graded Hammer 3X keyboard combined with powerful speakers and proprietary technology gives you an incredible recreation of the Yamaha CFX and Bosendorfer Imperial pianos and a great playing experience.

GH3X - Graded Hammer 3X Keyboard

One of the most important aspects of any piano is its touch and the physical response the pianist gets while playing.

Using the same hammering system and spring-less mechanisms found in grand pianos, the Yamaha CLP-635 features the GH3X (Graded Hammer 3X) keyboard which gives you an authentic response to the force of your playing and natural key return for a realistic piano playing experience.

The GHX3 actions accurately reproduce the lighter feeling of keys in the upper register, getting heavier as you go down to the lower octaves that you get when you play an acoustic grand piano.

The highest quality synthetic ivory and ebony has been used on the keys found on the GH3X keyboard to give you the inspiring feeling of playing one of the finest grand pianos.

Synthetic ivory keytops realistically recreate the tactile surface of the real ivory keyboards found in older acoustic pianos.

This material is highly absorbent, retaining their great texture and feel while preventing your fingers from slipping, even after hours of practice.

As the keyboard is the main link between you and your piano, it was important to Yamaha that they get it exactly right and so, keyboard stabilisers have been fitted to all 88 keys, providing a beautifully natural touch while improving both the stability and durability of the keyboard.

Two Incredibly Recreated Concert Grand Pianos

Giving you the best of modern piano, the Yamaha CLP-635 Clavinova has an incredible recreation of Yamaha’s flagship 9-foot concert grand piano; the CFX.

Played by the winner of the prestigious International Chopin Competition in 2010, the Yamaha CFX has built a great reputation and is recognised by many as one of the greatest modern concert grand pianos.

Next, the Yamaha CLP-635 provides you with meticulously recreated tones of the Bosendorfer Imperial.

Founded in 1828, Bosendorfer is the only manufacturer in the world that still utilises the Viennese tradition of hand-crafted design. The result is known as the “Viennese Sound” and is characterised by its uniquely warm bass, singing treble and rich timbre.

Famed composers such as Brahms and Johann Strauss have had a huge influence on the development of the Bosendorfer piano and it is known as being the only piano capable of withstanding Franz Liszt’s frenetic playing.

To this day, Bosendorfer continues its rich tradition of painstakingly crafting their pianos. In 2008, Bosendorfer became part of the Yamaha Group and Yamaha have proudly reproduced these incredible, rich tones in the Clavinova CLP-635.

Immersive, Realistic Sound – Even with Headphones

The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-635 body design has been carefully calibrated ensuring speaker positioning and body materials are just so that the entire instrument will resonate optimally.

In order to create a sound image that mirrors that of a grand piano, the CLP-635 Clavinova features Tone Escapement in several locations throughout the body, allowing the sound from the dual 16cm speakers, powered by two 30 W amplifiers, to be projected out from the instrument without being trapped within it.

Available on the Yamaha Clavinova for the first time is Yamaha’s advanced binaural sampling technology which uses recordings of the CFX, Yamaha’s flagship grand piano, which have been made using specialised microphones that capture locational information and subtle nuances in the sound.

You will find that the sound produced via this technology is so natural and immersive that you will not feel like you’re listening to it through headphones at all.

Another great feature you will enjoy when using headphones is the Stereophonic Optimiser that simulates the dispersal of sound as it is heard when sitting in front of an acoustic piano, giving you a comfortable and natural experience while playing, eliminating the drawbacks of performing with headphones.

Bluetooth Connectivity, Song Recorder and USB Audio Recording

In addition to the great playability and sound, the Yamaha Clavinova CLP-635 has a host of features to deliver you the best possible experience from a home digital piano.

Bluetooth Connectivity is built-in, allowing you to stream music from your phone or other Bluetooth-enabled device. This is great for playing along to music or for just enjoying some of your favourite songs using the powerful, high quality speakers of the Yamaha CLP-635.

Using the multi-track song recorder in the Clavinova allows you to record your own performances with a single touch of a button – great for analysing your technique or for archiving your own compositions.

You can even record up to 16 tracks for simultaneous playback, allowing you to record different hands separately or overdub parts using different voices for fully-fleshed out songs.

You can record in either MIDI or WAV formats, giving you a lot of options with your recordings. MIDI files are great for use with a range of software programs and hardware whereas WAV files can be used to play back on your computer burned to CD and enjoyed on most media players.

An Incredible Grand Piano Experience

Every aspect of the Yamaha Clavinova CLP-635 has been meticulously researched and designed to give you an incredible grand piano experience in your home.

Sleek and stylish, the body of the CLP-635 looks great and fits in with any room while its great technology, including the Natural Wood X keyboard and action give you an amazingly lifelike grand piano playability.

Whether you’re performing using the four built-in speakers with their two 25 W amplifiers or privately enjoying the music using headphones, you get the incredible sound of two real, world renowned grand pianos – the Yamaha CFX and Bosendorfer Imperial – but in a fantastic digital piano package.
