Yamaha CLP-845 Black

Clavinova, the Heritage of the Concert Piano at Home

Rooted in over 120 years of piano craftsmanship, the CLP-845 sits at the heart of the Clavinova range, offering the experience of a grand piano in an elegant domestic cabinet. It combines the precision of the GrandTouch-S keyboard with the richness of the CFX and Bösendorfer concert grands, while adding modern features that simplify daily practice and recording.

Keyboard Design

The CLP-845 is equipped with an 88-key GrandTouch-S keyboard featuring wooden white keys, synthetic ivory/ebony surfaces, and escapement. The touch sensitivity offers curves: hard1, hard2, medium, soft1, soft2, or fixed to adapt the response to your playing style. Three pedals (Damper with half-pedal, Sostenuto, Soft) benefit from the GrandTouch system and numerous assignable functions (Sustain, Sostenuto, Soft, Pitch Bend Up/Down, Rotary Speed, Vibe Rotor, Song Play/Pause).

Sound Quality

The piano section relies on Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial samples, complemented by binaural sampling (CFX) for ultra-realistic headphone playing, VRM, and piano expression modeling. You have access to 10 essential tones, 256-note polyphony, and a 2 x 30 W amplification system driving 2 x 16 cm diffuser speakers for a spacious and detailed sound image.

Built-in Effects

The CLP-845 includes 4 reverberations, 3 chorus effects, a brilliance control (7 types + user), and 12 insert effects. The Intelligent Acoustic Control and Stereophonic Optimizer functions optimize the sound output at low volume and when using headphones.
