Yamaha Clavinova CLP-845 R — Concert-Grand Authenticity at Home

The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-845 R is a premium digital piano built for pianists who want the touch and tone of a concert grand without the footprint or maintenance. It pairs the GrandTouch-S wooden-key action with the flagship Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial sound engines, capturing two of the world's most revered instruments in a single matte rosewood cabinet. The CLP-845 R is the right choice for serious players seeking authentic grand-piano expression in a furniture-grade form that fits a living room or studio.

What Sets This Model Apart

Two flagship concert grand voices — the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial — anchor the sound engine, both captured with Binaural Sampling for natural, spatial headphone playback. Grand Expression Modeling translates every nuance of touch into tonal variation, while Virtual Resonance Modeling recreates the sympathetic vibration of strings, soundboard, and frame. The GrandTouch-S keyboard adds escapement and graded weighting for a true grand-piano response under the fingers.

Keyboard Action — The Feel of a Grand

The keyboard is where this model earns its premium status. The GrandTouch-S action uses real wooden white keys with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops, escapement for that subtle click at the front of the stroke, and graded weighting from light treble to heavy bass. Six touch sensitivity presets cover every playing style, from concert pianists to first-year students.

• Keyboard Technology: GrandTouch-S with wooden white keys — graded weight and escapement mirror a real grand
• Keys Number: 88 — full concert range with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops for grip
• Touch Sensitivity: Hard2 / Hard1 / Medium / Soft1 / Soft2 / Fixed — six presets cover every playing style

Sound Engine — Two Concert Grands, One Instrument

The Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial are sampled in detail, with Binaural Sampling on both voices for natural headphone playback. Grand Expression Modeling and Virtual Resonance Modeling add the dynamic nuance and sympathetic resonance that distinguish a live grand from a static sample. With 256-note polyphony, even demanding Romantic-era repertoire sustains without drop-out.

• Tone Generator: Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial — flagship concert grands sampled in detail
• Polyphony: 256 notes — sustains complex pedal-and-layer passages without cutoff
• Modeling: Grand Expression Modeling + Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) — captures touch nuance and string/soundboard resonance

Sound System, Pedals and Connectivity

A 2-way speaker system with diffuser technology projects the sound outward into the room, while two headphone jacks let two players practice silently side by side. The three-pedal unit — Damper with half-pedal, Sostenuto, and Soft — uses GrandTouch Pedal design for graded resistance. Bluetooth audio and MIDI, USB TO HOST/DEVICE, AUX IN/OUT, and the Smart Pianist app with Sheet Music Reader round out the modern connectivity.

• Amplification: (45 W + 45 W) × 2 — 180 W total driving the 2-way system
• Speakers: (16 cm with diffuser + 8 cm with diffuser) × 2 — dedicated drivers for lows and mids/highs
• Pedals: 3 — Damper (half-pedal), Sostenuto, Soft — GrandTouch Pedal design with continuous resistance
• Headphone Output: 2 × standard stereo phone jack — quiet practice for two players

Who This Piano Is Built For

The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-845 R is the right choice for intermediate to advanced pianists who want concert-grand authenticity at home, conservatory students preparing for graded exams, and serious hobbyists who refuse to compromise on touch or tone. The 303 built-in lesson songs, metronome with 5–500 tempo range, and Smart Pianist app with Sheet Music Reader make it equally suited to structured practice. With Bluetooth audio and MIDI, USB TO HOST for recording, and 250-song / 16-track MIDI capture, it also serves composers and home-studio players who need a fully equipped instrument that disappears into a workflow.

Yamaha Clavinova — Decades of Digital Piano Craft

The Clavinova line has defined Yamaha's home-piano offering since 1983, evolving through every generation to close the gap between digital convenience and acoustic authenticity. The CLP-845 R belongs to the current CLP-800 series, which carries forward the GrandTouch keyboard family, Binaural Sampling, and Grand Expression Modeling developed across decades of acoustic-piano research. The "R" designation marks the rosewood matte finish — a furniture-grade cabinet designed to blend into a living space while housing flagship concert-grand sound.
