Gorgeous in sound, elegant in appearance, the new CVP Series Clavinovas feature a stunning new design that draws on the best of past CVP models. The amazingly authentic voices and dynamic styles deliver truly professional quality sound, while the sophisticated yet easy-to-use features (including Internet connectivity) make the instrument an endless source of musical enjoyment for young and old alike. Just one touch and youll understand. why its truly grand!
Traditional craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology
Unsurpassed beauty and elegance
Every bit as beautiful as it sounds, the Clavinova radiates the dignified, commanding presence of a grand piano with its solid, finely finished cabinetry. The Polished Ebony finish recreates the formal elegance and high-class appearance of a concert grand, while the Polished Mahogany model has a warm, natural wood grain to complement and attractively furnish any interior. In addition, the CVP Series sports three other beautiful finishes: Mahogany (307M, 305M, 303M), Cherry (307C, 305C, 303C, 301C), and Dark Rosewood (307, 305, 303, 301).
Natural Wood Keyboard for an authentic grand piano feel (CVP-309)
The new CVP-309 utilizes the exclusive Natural Wood Keyboard feature, with real wood keys and sophisticated technology that faithfully reproduces the experience of playing an actual acoustic grand piano. From the natural, balanced weight and key mass to the authentic wood touch and feel including rounded key tips and other genuine key shape features this new keyboard has a playability and expressiveness that goes beyond anything ever available in an electronic instrument. The sound response varies according to velocity and key position (low notes having a slightly delayed response), and the characteristic weight gradations of the keys heavy in the lower end, light in the upper keys make you feel as if youre playing a real grand piano.
State-of-the-art technology delivers authentic sound
iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) (CVP-309 / 307)
Three advanced iAFC technologies
Dynamic Damper Effect (DDE)
DDE delivers discretely sampled overtones, harmonics and resonance from the rear speakers to recreate the warm, spacious sound that occurs when holding down the damper pedal on a grand piano.

CVP-309/CVP-307 CVP-305

This sophisticated technology puts you and your performance center stage creating a richer, warmer and more spacious sonic environment. Using built-in microphones, iAFC picks up sound and combines it with the Clavinovas internal sound through the rear speakers, making automatic adjustments in real time to enhance your performance and match the acoustic characteristics of the room youre playing in.

Speakers Speakers

Spatial Ensemble Effect (SEE)
This uses advanced signal processing to recreate the natural reverberation and resonance you would hear if playing a grand piano on a real stage. When playing with another musician or singer, the effect utilizes the built-in microphones to enhance the atmosphere and ambience of your duet performance.
Exceptionally realistic AWM tone generation
The heart of the Clavinovas voices is in the AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation technology providing instrumental sounds of amazing realism and depth. The piano voices in particular benefit from the new Dynamic Stereo Sampling (DSS) system, which features recordings of differently played dynamics from loud to soft in order to fully capture the varying nuances in timbre and tone of a grand piano. Stereo Sustain Samples recreate the unique resonance of the strings and soundboard of a real grand piano when the damper pedal is pressed, while Key-Off samples include the characteristic sound that occurs when a key is released and the dampers fall back onto the strings.

Mic Speakers Speakers

Natural Soundboard (NSB)
The physical soundboard of a grand piano is one of its largest and most important sonic parts. This effect uses the built-in microphones to create a virtual soundboard producing a rich, expansive, and more natural sound.
True piano feel (CVP-307 / 305)
More than any other keyboard, the Clavinova reproduces the experience of playing an actual grand piano. Thanks to the GH3 (Graded Hammer effect 3) technology, the new keyboard provides the characteristic weight balance between key and hammer, and features weight gradations of the keys heavy in the lower end, light in the upper keys. With two velocity sensors, it even lets you use techniques previously possible only on a real grand piano, such as playing the same note repeatedly with perfect articulation.

Making it real

Mega Voice technology (CVP-309 /307 / 305)
To enhance the playback of your recorded songs and the built-in accompaniment styles, the Clavinova features Yamahas groundbreaking Mega Voice technology. Each Mega Voice not only has the fundamental tone of the original instrument, but also the various playing techniques and performance sounds such as finger slides and fret noise on guitar voices giving the sound incredible realism and expressiveness. The bundled CDROM includes the MEGAEnhancer, a software tool for automatically converting sequenced song data enabling it to take advantage of the Mega Voice capabilities.

Extraordinarily realistic, expressive voices
No matter what style of music you play, the Clavinova ensures youll never be at a loss for voices. Hundreds upon hundreds of rich, realistic, dynamic voices are built into the instrument with a selection of over 900 on the CVP-309 and CVP-307. These include the specially sampled and programmed Sweet!, Live!, Cool!, and Natural! voices. The stunningly authentic instrument sounds make the Clavinova a treasure-trove of musical inspiration providing a virtually endless palette for creative exploration and performance possibilities.
Grand piano-style fallboard
The new CVP also features a special, sleek fallboard, similar to that of an actual grand piano. This elegant key cover also neatly houses all of the panel controls on the instrument, giving you access to them when you lift the fallboard, and keeping them clean and out of sight when closed.
