Yamaha Clavinova CLP-845 Digital Piano - White | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-845 delivers exceptional grand piano realism through the GrandTouch-S keyboard with wooden keys and innovative escapement mechanism.

Perfect for intermediate to advanced pianists seeking authentic touch, immersive sound, and comprehensive recording capabilities in an elegant, space-saving design.
Product Overview
The CLP-845 showcases beautiful cabinet construction in a pristine white finish that blends classic aesthetics with contemporary elegance. Measuring 57 1/2" W x 36 1/2" H x 18 1/16" D, this space-saving taller acoustic cabinet features a modesty panel and wide music rest with page clips for enhanced convenience. The clean white finish adds brightness to any room while complementing modern and traditional décor alike, creating an inviting focal point that encourages daily practice and performance.
The GrandTouch-S keyboard with wooden keys delivers remarkable authenticity through 88-key linear graded hammers. Each wooden white key is carved from a single block of solid wood using woodworking techniques developed for acoustic piano construction, making the keyboard less susceptible to warping. Synthetic ivory white keys and textured ebony black keys provide slip-resistant surfaces that remain comfortable during extended sessions. The escapement mechanism produces the satisfying "click" sensation unique to grand pianos, while the graded hammer action ensures each key responds with authentic weight and resistance.
Advanced sound technology features binaurally sampled Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial grand pianos with Grand Expression Modeling for infinite tonal variations. The revolutionary 2-way bi-amplified speaker system uses individual speakers for low-end and mid-to-high-range sound, delivering clear tone with impressive depth. Diffuser technology optimizes sound distribution throughout the room. Virtual Resonance Modeling performs real-time calculations of string sympathetic vibrations, damper resonance, and soundboard reverberation. Binaural sampling technology creates three-dimensional headphone sound that remains natural and fatigue-free, while Stereophonic Optimizer extends this realistic spatial audio to other piano voices.
Ideal For
- Intermediate to advanced students developing sophisticated technique on a responsive keyboard with authentic grand piano feel
- Serious hobbyist pianists seeking professional-quality sound and touch in a space-efficient, mid-priced instrument

Key Features
GrandTouch-S Keyboard with Wooden Keys
The GrandTouch-S keyboard represents a significant advancement in digital piano key action technology. Wooden white keys carved from solid wood blocks provide superior tactile response and resistance to warping compared to laminated alternatives. The 88-key linear graded hammer system delivers distinct touch for each key with weight calibrated to match grand piano specifications. Escapement simulation provides the characteristic tactile feedback that enhances expressive control, while synthetic ivory and ebony keytops prevent slipping during extended performances.
Binaurally Sampled Concert Grand Pianos
Experience the powerful, crystalline Yamaha CFX concert grand and the warm, resonant Bösendorfer Imperial with exceptional headphone realism. Binaural sampling captures these legendary instruments using specialized microphones positioned like human ears, recreating three-dimensional sound so natural that players forget they're wearing headphones. Each key was individually recorded across multiple velocities, capturing every tonal nuance and harmonic complexity. Grand Expression Modeling enables unlimited tonal variations based on subtle touch differences, replicating the limitless expressiveness of acoustic grands.
Revolutionary 2-Way Speaker System with Diffusers
The bi-amplified 2-way speaker system uses dedicated speakers for low-end and mid-to-high-range frequencies, delivering clear, powerful sound with excellent depth and definition. Diffuser technology optimizes speaker placement and sound distribution to recreate the natural projection patterns of acoustic pianos. This sophisticated acoustic design ensures listeners experience engaging, realistic piano tone from any position in the room, while maintaining the instrument's space-saving profile.
Virtual Resonance Modeling and Stereophonic Optimizer
Virtual Resonance Modeling calculates sympathetic string vibrations, damper resonance, and soundboard reverberation in real-time for each note, considering which keys are pressed, pedal timing, and strike velocity. This creates the complex, evolving harmonics characteristic of world-class acoustic pianos. Stereophonic Optimizer technology extends the natural spatial diffusion of binaural sampling to other piano voices, ensuring all sounds maintain realistic three-dimensional presence through headphones.
GrandTouch Pedals and Comprehensive Recording
The GrandTouch pedal system accurately replicates grand piano pedal resistance during depression and the gradual decrease during release, enabling enhanced precision in pedaling technique. The damper pedal includes half-pedal functionality for subtle tonal control. The 16-track MIDI recorder allows layered compositions with different hands recorded separately or overdubbed with various voices. USB audio recording in WAV format captures performances to flash drive, while Smart Pianist app integration enables direct recording to iOS or Android devices.
