Yamaha - CLP-745 B

VRM Physical Modeling for Stunning Realism and Expression

In a grand piano, sound resonates throughout the body of the instrument, producing a rich, distinctive reverberation that fills the room. Yamaha uses its Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) to recreate this acoustic phenomenon in the Clavinova CLP-745. VRM calculates the different states of the strings from moment to moment for each of the instrument’s 88 notes. This allows for a richly varied and vivid expression that reflects the infinite number of factors involved in a live performance, including how fast you strike the keys, which keys you press, and the timing of your pedal. The realistic and exhilarating sound that emanates from Yamaha’s latest-generation Clavinovas has captivated SonoVente’s most discerning pianists. You simply must experience it for yourself.

The superb sound and touch of the world's finest concert grand pianos

The voices of the Clavinova CLP-745 grand piano come from premium Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand pianos, hand-selected and tuned to perfection by top professional tuners. Only then are the sounds meticulously sampled at different velocities, for a stunningly realistic grand piano sound with smooth tonal transformations perfectly matched to your key pressure. From staccato to legato, pianissimo to forte, you hear a superbly expressive sound that responds beautifully to your touch. Featuring Yamaha's Smooth Release technology, the CLP-745 gives you crisp, realistic staccatos and luxurious legatos for a nuanced response identical to that of a real grand piano.

Full-bodied resonance, like an acoustic piano

In a process similar to that of an acoustic piano, the Clavinova’s body materials and speaker placement are carefully calibrated to ensure optimum resonance. To achieve a sound image close to that of a grand piano, the CLP-745 uses sound outlets at multiple locations in the cabinet, allowing the sound from the speakers to project naturally toward the listener’s ears without being trapped within the instrument. The CLP-745’s body is equipped with acoustic optimizers that control timbre and regulate sound flow, for a natural, consistent sound richness across the entire keyboard range.
