GrandTouch-S keyboard action reproduces the touch, feel and dynamic range of a concert grand piano better than ever. Built-in sounds include 38 voices to explore and enjoy. CFX and Bösendorfer binaural samples sound stunning through headphones, while Yamaha's latest Virtual Resonance Modeling and Grand Acoustic Imaging simulate the vibrations and reverberations of a real acoustic grand piano through the CLP-865GP's advanced multi-amp speaker system, filling the room with highly realistic sound. The fortepiano voices allow you to perform and listen to classical compositions authentically, just as the original composers did. Enhanced Grand Expression Modeling simulates the mechanics of the piano's hammers, strings and internal components to convey vivid and richly varied tones to your playing.

Grand Expression Modeling
The Clavinova CLP-865G excels when it comes to the authentic feel and response of a real acoustic piano. Yamaha has applied its expertise in piano construction to the Clavinova's Grand Expression Modeling sound system. In recent decades, Yamaha has perfected the craft of piano building, with many of the company's grand pianos having permanent spots in top studios and leading concert venues around the world. Equipped with unique, expertly integrated Yamaha technologies, the Clavinova CLP-865GP offers renowned expressive power. It accurately executes nuanced musical intentions through the responsive touch of the keys and feel of the pedals. You just have to experience it for yourself!

VRM modeling for realism and expression
In a grand piano, sound resonates throughout the body of the instrument, creating a distinctive rich, room-filling reverberation. Yamaha uses its enhanced Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) to recreate this acoustic phenomenon in the Clavinova CLP-865GP with more detail and nuance than ever. VRM calculates the different states of the strings from one moment to the next for each of the instrument's 88 notes. This enables vivid, richly varied expression that reflects the infinite number of factors involved in a live performance, including the speed at which you strike the keys, which keys you press and your pedal timing.

Superior sound and feel from the world's best concert grand pianos
The Clavinova CLP-865GP grand piano sounds come from premium, hand-selected Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand pianos that have been tuned to perfection by professional piano tuners. Only then have the sounds been accurately sampled at various speeds, for a stunningly realistic grand piano sound with smooth tonal changes perfectly matched to key pressures. From staccato to legato, pianissimo to forte, you'll hear a beautifully expressive sound that responds beautifully to your touch. In fact, the CLP-865GP gives you realistic crisp staccatos and luxurious legatos for a nuanced response identical to a real grand piano.
