Specifications of the Yamaha CLP-735

Keyboard

To avoid any disturbance with string vibration, the escapement mechanism of a grand piano swiftly pulls the hammer off from the strings when they touch them. When the keys are lightly pushed, this mechanism makes a slight clicking sound. This feature is often missing from many digital piano experiences.

Clavinova keyboards include an escapement mechanism that simulates this touch at the key dip's base. They've been constructed in a way that makes the click only noticeable on the lightest keystrokes, comparable to a grand piano's keyboard. The roughness on such keyboards has been increased to balance key repetition and responsiveness without hindering performance. This ensures a rich instrument sound with the same features of a grand piano, with all the convenience of a digital piano.

Expression

The hammers, dimmers, and strings interact within a grand piano according to the subtlest subtleties of the pianist's touch and create an infinite spectrum of tonal manifestations. Touch relates not only to the intensity and the depth with which the keys are pushed but also to the speed and depth of the player's control. The modelling introduction of Grand Expression, which was launched in the CLP-700 Series, translates an unlimited tone fluctuation in the piano from the pianist's finger.

This allows you to change the piano sound by playing the keys at varying depths and speeds, even while utilizing techniques like trills or legato or stressing the melody over the accompaniment. In several popular songs, Grand Expression Modeling excels at properly recreating the output anticipated of these approaches. A free touch generates the weak tone in Debussy's "Clair de Lune," making the tune shine out much more beautifully. The supporting arpeggios in Liszt's "Un Sospiro" emphasize the melody without overwhelming it, and the melody's changing expression gives it the same character as voices.

Trills, legato, and other subtle techniques whereby fingers seem to glide over the keys produce the airy, clear tone representation necessary in the final of Chopin's nocturnes. Playing such compositions on a digital piano with a lot of passion allows the pianist to acquire new methods and enjoy the same thrill of expression as a painter but through sound.

Sampling

The sounds of numerous world-famous concert acoustic grand pianos have been captured for the Clavinova grand piano. In concert venues, pianists all over the globe are charmed with the CFX's powerful, brilliant, profoundly expressive tone. The Imperial, the flagship model of Bosendorfer, a time-honoured Viennese piano manufacturer with a devoted fanbase, is yet another sampled concert grand. The Imperial is noted for its vibrant colours and welcoming atmosphere. Yamaha accurately captures the quirks of these concert grand pianos by meticulously capturing the complete tone range of each of the 88 keys and making minute tweaks to obtain the most harmonized piano sound.

Compositions

Yamaha's CLP series pianos are the company's first to include voices from the fortepiano, the forerunner of the contemporary piano. The grand piano sounds produced by a fortepiano are significantly more straightforward than those produced by a modern digital piano, and they fade much faster. Hearing the instruments that Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin used to compose their songs can help you understand the original purpose behind the notes on the page. Playing these antique instruments provides a unique opportunity to interact with historical composers. These models come with the voices of two fortepianos that Mozart and Chopin adored.

Sound modelling

The sympathetic resonance generated by the whole instrument is one of the grand piano's most appealing features. Clavinova digital pianos use a revolutionary technique called Virtual Resonance Modeling to replicate this rich sympathetic resonance (VRM) meticulously. VRM simulates the intricate sympathetic sounds produced as string vibrations are transmitted to the soundboard and other strings, proportional to the time and intensity of key playing and pedalling for a richly diversified sound. In addition to the resonance of the duplex scaling, strings, soundboard, and casing, the CLP-700 Series pianos reproduce the noises the dampers generate when they have been raised off the strings.

Clavinova pianos provide you with instantaneous dynamics and rich sympathetic tones that a grand piano's full-body produces.

Pedal

The pedals operate in the same way for all the instruments. It uses a damper pedal with half function. The pedals aim to alter the tone of the piano in a certain way, giving complete control over the piano sound. The damper pedal, commonly known as the sustain pedal, allows the piano's sound to last longer by removing the dampers from the strings.

Control panel

Clavinova pianos come with a slew of valuable capabilities that only digital pianos can provide. Use Yamaha's Smart Pianist app for further piano practice assistance. It's effortless to alter the piano's settings thanks to the easy control panel. This gives the player complete control over the digital piano sounds, making it simple to replicate the sound of a real grand piano.

Features of the Yamaha Clavinova CLP-735

Playability

The pianos of Clavinova have outstanding playability and flexible functions, together with a polished and genuine design that combines a small shape with contemporary aesthetics to match the modern piano standards.

Sensitivity

Grand Expression Modeling is a revolutionary new technology that allows pianists to apply their skills to create the endless tone diversity seen only on grand pianos. To add to the delight of musical expression, the ability to alter the strength and speed of touch to generate varied tones adds a whole new dimension.

Our fingertips are more sensitive than we realize, and the surface of the piano keys is crucial for pianists. The Clavinova is made of a highly absorbent material that keeps your fingertips from slipping even after hours of practice while maintaining the perfect texture and feel.

Key Action and Feel of the Yamaha CLP-735

The Graded Hammer 3X Action - the sense of touch is equally as essential as the senses of tone and sound. When it comes to the actual grand piano touch, Yamaha is well ahead of the pack. It's almost shocking how genuine the keyboard seems when you first lay your hands on it.

The (GH3X) action is faster than most other acoustic uprights in terms of repetition than in most digital pianos. The hammers are tuned to mimic a grand piano's stronger hammers in the bass area and softer hammers in the treble section. The three-sensor setup detects and interprets the key depth and strength with which every chord is struck, providing natural feedback similar to that seen on a concert grand piano.

When a pianist's fingers are raised from the keys of a grand piano, the damper is dropped over onto strings to muffle the instrument's sound, causing minor variations in the instrument's tone. Genuine recordings of these alterations are included in the Key-Off samples, enabling a much more realistic performance by faithfully reproducing the minor changes in the piano's tone.

The CLP's graded hammer action feels incredibly realistic since each hammer is independently weighted, starting with stronger bass hammers and progressing to lighter treble hammers.

What's Best in Yamaha Clavinova CLP-735

The loudness of the piano may be disturbing to the home, and also, the sounds of the household can be problematic for the pianist if the piano is played for 20 minutes, 45 minutes, or hours a day. You'll be thankful for headphones when you need to practice while the TV is on, the other children do schoolwork, or the baby is asleep. Wait till you play the Clavinova with a good pair of headphones! Binaural sampling is a fancy term for a complex recording method that employs a unique arrangement of microphones to replicate the sound of an acoustic piano to the human ear via headphones.

What's Lacking in Yamaha Clavinova CLP-735 digital piano?

The natural wooden keys are missing from the Yamaha 735. The wood keys add to the game's authenticity by allowing players to feel the energy communicated through the key, simulating the sound of a hammer striking a string. The CLP735 features plastic keys and is highly similar to the Baby Grand version in terms of specifications. The new Yamaha Clavinova models now use wooden keys.
