Yamaha Clavinova CVP-700 Series

The new lineup includes the CVP-701, CVP-705, CVP-709 and the CVP-709GP.

At the heart of each model is Yamaha’s Real Grand Expression sound engine, which harmonizes the three key elements of sound, touch, and pedals to provide the definitive, immersive experience of playing a real grand piano.

For the first time, the Yamaha CVP Series features the sampled sounds of two world-class concert grand pianos — the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial.

Another highlight of the new CVP models is Piano Room, a feature first introduced in the previous generation and expanded upon in the new Series. Piano Room lets the player select from multiple types of pianos including grands, uprights, a honky-tonk piano, and many more. Users can also select a playing location, such as concert hall, cathedral, or stage. Instantly, the tone quality changes to match that piano and place, giving the player’s performance a totally different feel. When playing the grand piano or pop grand, the player can even choose to have the virtual piano lid open or closed. The new CVP-700 Series includes more instruments, such as Super Articulation Flute, Audio Style Drummers, and Boys Choir, plus a new session mode with a built-in recording studio for capturing and sharing your music.

The CVP-701, CVP-705, and CVP-709 (MSRP range: $5,399 to $20,999) are currently available in black walnut wood finish or polished ebony. The CVP-709GP (MSRP: $20,999) offers customers a 4-foot 6-inch baby grand cabinet with an enhanced sound system.
