Yamaha Clavinova CVP-701PE Polished Ebony digital piano

General

The Yamaha Clavinova CVP-701PE (Polished Ebony) is sure to offer you many years of enjoyment. What's more, it's a stunning addition to your home interior as well! Though there is more to it than meets the eye, in many ways it's an excellent imitation of a grand piano. For instance, the CVP-701 features a GH3X keyboard (Graded Hammer 3x), which closely mimics the feel of a real piano keyboard, escapement and all. Furthermore, its 88 keys feature ivory-style tops. Finally, the Yamaha CFX and Bosendorfer Imperial sounds will make you feel like you're playing a real concert instrument.

CVP-701PE: beginners and advanced players

The CVP-701PE is a digital piano that is suited for both beginners and advanced players. Beginners will enjoy the pleasant realistic sounds (1,286 of them), and the well-organised controls, backed up by the bright colour display. The Guide Lights are also a handy feature, which help you learn how to play certain songs or parts by showing you which keys to press. Meanwhile, those with a bit more experience will want to check out the 300 preset styles, which closely follow your chords, providing you with fitting accompaniment.

Piano Room and USB

A particularly inspiring feature of the CVP-700 series' pianos is the Piano Room. This is home to not only top-quality grand piano sounds, but also to various classic electric pianos, as well as the Session Mode. The latter mode has three virtual musicians standing by to accompany you 'live' in one of forty available styles. Besides your harmonies, they also follow your volume and intensity, thanks to the Dynamics Control feature. Do you want to record your playing? No problem! Connect a USB stick, and everything will be stored in WAV file format. You can also play back WAV files, and even adjust their tempo and pitch.
