General
A grand piano is not exactly an instrument one just goes out and buys. What's more, it takes up a lot of space, which not everyone has. This Yamaha Clavinova CLP-675B, however, offers the perfect solution. It's a digital piano equipped with a GrandTouch keyboard consisting of 88 responsive Hammer Action keys that are suitable for extremely dynamic playing. The white keys are made of wood, and each key is coated with a synthetic layer of ebony and ivory, so the feel of this instrument is even closer to that of an acoustic keyboard. When it comes to sound, you can't go wrong with the high-quality samples of Yamaha's own CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial grand pianos.
Realistic sounds
The sound of a grand piano is not only a result of the hammer hitting the string. To recreate the unmistakable grand sound, Yamaha managed to simulate the string and attenuation resonance and with combined key-off samples and the vibrations that are typical of an acoustic piano. This is known as Virtual Resonance Modelling technology. The samples themselves were captured with special microphones using Binaural Sampling, which means the position of the pianist has been taken into account so you get the most realistic sound possible.
General characteristics
Naturally, this piano is equipped with the very latest in modern technology. For starters, you can pair it with your iOS or Android mobile device via Bluetooth, or connect a device directly using the USB port. Record your playing with the built-in 16-track recorder and take advantage of the DSP effects and the dual and split modes for even more playing options. For beginners, there are a number of handy features including the duo function, double headphone socket, 50 pre-programmed songs and 303 lessons.
