YAMAHA Clavinova CLP-500CLP 500
FeaturesClavinova CLP brings the exquisite sound of a Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano to your home or studio. Its Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) tone generation uses multiple samples from the acoustic instrument to generate every note, and its Graded Hammer keyboard gives each key a natural response.
CLP models feature either the Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) or Natural Wood (NW) Keyboard which render a concert grand piano performance that is virtually indistinguishable from an acoustic grand. With a simple descrite control panel and additional classical sounds every CLP model offers an exceptional piano playing experience.
Real grand piano sound, just for youWith two world-renowned concert grand pianos available at the touch of a button, the CLP Series lets you choose the perfect piano tone for the music you want to play. Offering far more than just sampled sound, the CLP Series reproduces the expressive characteristics of these two unique instruments in meticulous detail.
The powerful tone of the acclaimed CFXYamaha’s flagship 9′ concert grand piano, the CFX offers sparkling highs and a powerful resonant bass with a sound that projects to the furthest reaches of any concert hall. The CFX was played by the winner of the prestigious International Chopin Competition in 2010 and has since gained recognition as one of the greatest concert grands of modern times.
The unmistakable sound of a Bsendorfer ImperialCrafted in Vienna using traditional techniques exclusive to Bsendorfer, this legendary grand piano features a characteristic warm tone known as the “Viennese Sound”, perfect for playing stately melodies from composers such as Brahms and Beethoven.
Specifications vary depending on model
More than just great soundThere is more to a great performance than sound alone; any pianist knows that playing well relies on everything from the touch of the keyboard to the feel of the pedals, and even the aesthetics of the instrument design. The CLP Series offers authentic keyboard touch and pedal feel together with a well-crafted modern design, giving you the feeling of sitting down to play at a fine grand piano.
The Clavinova CLP Series utilize Yamaha’s acclaimed Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) technology to reproduce the resonance characteristics of the strings for every note on the grand piano keyboard in real time.
Acoustic touch and feel
Featuring models equipped with the newly-developed Natural Wood X (NWX) and Graded Hammer 3X (GH3X) keyboards, the CLP Series brings a new level of realism to digital piano performance. There are even fitted counterweights for precise control when playing delicately at low volumes and an escapement mechanism that reproduces the slight click felt when the keys of a grand piano are pressed gently. Just like an acoustic grand, every key is weighted differently; keys in the bass register have a heavier feel that gets progressively lighter as you move up the keyboard.
This passion for authenticity is also evident in the GP Response Damper Pedal, which constantly detects pedal pressure and return, applying them to note elongation and reverberation. The result is a dynamic range unmatched by other digital pianos in their class.Play two incredible grand pianosMore than just great soundAcoustic touch and feelPractice made betterThe CLP Series makes practice something to look forward to with practical functions and features that make it easy to improve your performance.
CLOSENatural sound image-even using headphonesUnique to Yamaha, the Stereophonic Optimizer adjusts the spacing of the sound and the separation from the piano when listening via the headphones, resulting in a spacious sound image that will inspire you to play for hours at a time.

PRODUCT REVIEW; (Taken from Reidys Music)
The keyboard has 88 keys standard. All controls are located on the left side of the instrument, two sliders define the overall volume and the effect of brightness, some little buttons provide access to preset timbres and effects. The instrument is very heavy and imposing, I can not wear it alone, but that’s nothing compared to a quarter of a tail. As with all Clavinova it is possible to work only with what Yamaha calls the plays and more prosaically auxiliary headsets. If your neighbors do not like your lines at 3 am, the headphone jack will be very useful. But it would be a shame not to take advantage of this amplification, which distills a good bass and treble equally treated. It is possible to connect the Clavinova to a mixer through the audio outputs that are located behind the instrument.
UTILIZATION
It is very simple at the same time it is not a synthesizer to act on phonemes, envelopes or waveforms. It is still possible to do ten presets and 16 polyphonic notes. They are unfortunately not mixable with one another but the sound quality is amazing. I find this keyboard with a touch quite natural, and finally relatively close to that of a grand piano. Thus allowing a comfortable playing. The answer is also quite interesting, you can go from pianissimo to fortissimo without difficulty.
SOUNDS
I think the stamps are returned to a somewhat probing realism and evolve according to the dynamics of play the first two meets preset name Piano 1-2 are of excellent quality. The piano-2 is brighter than the piano-1. As for “Electric Piano” they remind me of the legendary Rhodes but not this small distortion Fender. In fact, they are wrong to be … too perfect, and then in any case a Rhodes Rhodes is one that you want. Attacks the harpsichord are great and realistic hope, for cons, the outfits are not blameless. Also as for the piano sounds, the timbre of the former is more matte than the second. The “heavenly” in the middle of the keyboard is very close to the Glockenspiel (if you know), a favorite patch of Mike Oldfield. The Vibes-1 is also very successful with a perfect vibrato, the vibraphone-2 does not benefit from this effect and its timbre is close to the Marimba, and again the attacks are very neat. The guitar (classical) is very good (it’s rare that sound is still often murdered), the one to do do do 4 to 5, it tends to become a Celtic harp, which allows to enjoy a sound further, but after 5 do, do not stress enough, the sound quickly becomes banal. All these sounds presets can take when using a different color effects available, namely, tremolo together chorus, which unfortunately are not adjustable (no depth or frequency).
OVERALL OPINION
I played it and did my lines with my parents when I was a teenager. It allowed me to progress without the crazy (I was playing for hours). My parents gave me last July and it is certainly a beautiful gift. He did not join my other keyboards and pianos in our music room we call our “cocooning studio,” but it is installed in the lounge. This allows me to work the lines to my husband, and even when he does not want to .. (but not). And also learn a few chords to my daughter this summer also has a passion for the piano, although she prefers the guitar. In short, all that to say that it is not only a good musical instrument, but also a great keyboard to learn and get started.
