CLP-825: The Clavinova CLP Spirit, Designed for Study and Daily Enjoyment
The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-825 belongs to a range renowned for bringing acoustic piano playing closer to today's uses: headphone practice, compact home footprint, and immediate access to educational tools. Within the CLP universe, it emphasizes touch, nuance precision, and the quality of the main pianos to offer a coherent furniture-style digital piano suitable for serious learning as well as enjoyable playing.
Keyboard Design
With its GrandTouch-S 88-key keyboard, the CLP-825 aims for a stable and expressive response inspired by modern actions: key depth, piano control, and consistency across all dynamics. The synthetic ebony/ivory keytops improve grip and comfort, while the escapement provides a more realistic sensation at the end of the key travel, useful for pianissimos and control work. The touch sensitivity offers four settings (hard, medium, soft, fixed) to adapt the instrument to your technique. On the pedal side, the 3 pedals (Damper with half-pedal, Sostenuto, Soft) in GrandTouch format complete a very "piano-like" experience for classical repertoire, jazz, or accompaniment.
Sound Quality
The CLP-825's sound signature is based on two references: "Yamaha CFX" for brilliance and projection, and "Bösendorfer Imperial" for a warmer, fuller character. The VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) and piano expression modeling enhance the sense of acoustic interaction (resonances, harmonic richness, playing variations). For silent sessions, the binaural sampling (CFX) combined with the Stereophonic Optimizer improves spatial perception through headphones. Finally, the IAC helps maintain musical balance at low volume. With 10 tones, 256-note polyphony, 2 x 20 W amplification, and 12 cm speakers with diffusers, the sound remains detailed and controlled, suitable both for delicate nuances and more energetic playing.

Maybe my copy has an adjustment error or something. Sound and touch: not at all consistent with the description made. I already have a P125, the sound and feel of this Clavinova 825 are barely a bit better! If you want to work on classics (Chopin, nuances, etc...) forget it! You will be really disappointed! I am not even sure if there is a heavy touch! I selected HARD for touch sensitivity! But no difference or very very slight! The sound on the speakers is disastrous! With headphones it's a bit better! The 2 piano sounds: Bof blah!! I have a P125 that cost around 550 euros, but this 825 is not really better, or slightly better! The bass is a bit muted and buzzing, the mids are really fully digital... This piano is nothing like an acoustic piano... neither in terms of sound, nor in terms of touch... Grand Touch S? I don't see what that's changing!
I tried to select IAC, I tried Grand Piano modeling. I tried Static and Dynamic, I tried VRM activated, nothing helped!
In short, it's definitely not worth the price!

Good morning,
I received my CLP 825 on October 14.
Maybe my copy has an adjustment error or something. Sound and touch: not at all consistent with the description made. I already have a P125, the sound and feel of this Clavinova 825 are barely a bit better! If you want to work on classics (Chopin, nuances, etc...) forget it!! You will be really disappointed! I am not even sure if there is a heavy touch! I selected HARD for touch sensitivity! But no difference or very very slight! The sound on the speakers is disastrous! With headphones it's a bit better! The 2 piano sounds: Bof blah!! I have a P125 that cost around 550 euros, but this 825 is not really better, or slightly better! The bass is a bit muted and buzzing, the mids are really fully digital... This piano is nothing like an acoustic piano... neither in terms of sound, nor in terms of touch... Grand Touch S? I don't see what that's changing!

The CFX Grand is in fact like a mix between “piano, electronic piano, Clavinova Tone, vibraphone” and the Bosendorfer, the same thing + a guitar sound!
The piano sound is very light, not at all consistent, really, that's his synth piano!
In short, it's definitely not worth the price!
I want to return this item!
Can we plan a return trip with Geodis, and are you charging me the same price as the outbound trip? (Shipping costs). Otherwise, I contacted a company in Toulouse.
Can you call me back please to talk about it?
