Digital piano is an innovative product. True to modern day technology, with the iPods all over, these pianos are designed and styled like acoustic pianos with added enhancements that enable the users to load and save songs. Neat, right? There is more - a Clavinova can be connected to computers through USB and even supports wireless. That is some serious combination of two totally different worlds. The CLP and CVP series of Clavinovas from Yamaha Corporation are a perfect blend of modernity and tradition.
CLP Series
Anybody interested in taking home the digital alternative of acoustic pianos can opt for CLP series Clavinovas.

Playing on a Clavinova sounds very much like playing on a grand piano.

Many of the CLP pianos are endowed with Spatial Effect, Dynamic Damper effect, etc, which enhances the acoustic effect of the music produced by the pianos.

CVP Series

The natural wood keyboard of the CVP pianos and the sophisticated technology incorporated in them recreates the feel of playing on a grand piano.

Most of the Clavinovas from the CVP series are equipped with dynamic stereo sampling, advanced wave memory, instrumental active field control, and mega voice technology. One can create one’s own arrangements and write one’s music with the CVP Clavinovas.
The Inbuilt optical out terminal allows the pianists to send the digital audio, for recording to another device. A USB can be used to load the music to a computer and then they can be written into CD’s with CD writing software, installed in the computer. The latest series in the CVP series is the CVP 30 X range.
