Product Overview

The CLP-865GP showcases magnificent baby grand piano construction in a lustrous polished ebony finish that exudes timeless elegance and sophistication. Measuring 56 5/16" W x 36 11/16" H x 45 3/16" D, this elegant grand-style cabinet delivers the visual impact and presence of a traditional grand piano while maintaining a more compact footprint than full-size acoustic grands. The mirror-like polished ebony finish reflects Yamaha's heritage of premium piano craftsmanship, making this instrument a breathtaking centerpiece that commands attention and adds unmistakable class to any room.

The GrandTouch-S keyboard delivers remarkable authenticity through 88-key linear graded hammers with escapement mechanism. Each key features precisely calibrated weight matching grand piano specifications, while synthetic ivory white keys and textured ebony black keys provide slip-resistant, highly absorbent surfaces that remain comfortable during extended sessions. The escapement mechanism reproduces the subtle "click" sensation unique to grand pianos when keys are pressed gently, providing valuable tactile feedback that enhances expressive control and technique development. The elegant grand piano design features a music rest that elevates for optimal sheet music viewing.

Advanced sound technology features the flagship Yamaha CFX concert grand and legendary Bösendorfer Imperial samples with binaural recording for exceptional headphone realism. Grand Expression Modeling captures infinite tonal variations based on subtle touch differences, while Virtual Resonance Modeling performs real-time calculations of string sympathetic vibrations, damper resonance, and soundboard reverberation. The powerful 2-way bi-amplified speaker system with diffuser technology projects clear, immersive sound with impressive depth, recreating the natural acoustic projection of grand pianos. Fortepiano voices allow authentic performance of classical compositions as originally intended by Mozart and Chopin.

Key Features

GrandTouch-S Keyboard with Escapement

The GrandTouch-S keyboard features broad dynamic range and faithful response to every nuance of touch, from delicate pianissimo to bold fortissimo. The 88-key linear graded hammer system provides each key with distinct weight and return matching grand piano specifications—Yamaha's exclusive technology for authentic key-by-key calibration. Escapement mechanism reproduces the satisfying tactile feedback when keys are pressed gently, while highly absorbent synthetic ivory and ebony keytops prevent slipping and feel remarkably like acoustic piano keys.

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 at the player's position, recreating three-dimensional sound so natural that fatigue disappears even during extended headphone sessions. Each key was individually recorded, capturing every tonal nuance. Grand Expression Modeling enables unlimited tonal variations, teaching pianists how slight touch variations produce different tones just as on acoustic grands.

Virtual Resonance Modeling Technology

Virtual Resonance Modeling calculates the complex interactions of hammers, strings, and dampers in real-time for each of the 88 notes, considering which keys are pressed, pedal timing, and strike velocity. This sophisticated technology recreates the vivid, richly varied expression and limitless tonal factors that define concert grand piano sound, including sympathetic string vibrations, damper resonance, and soundboard reverberation. The result is authentic acoustic piano behavior that responds dynamically to every performance nuance.

Powerful 2-Way Speaker System with Diffusers

The bi-amplified 2-way speaker system with diffuser technology delivers immersive sound that fills the room with natural acoustic projection. Diffusers optimize sound distribution to recreate the spatial characteristics of grand piano tone, ensuring engaging, realistic sound from any listening position. The system provides clear articulation across the entire frequency range with impressive depth and power, perfectly matched to the elegant grand piano cabinet design.

Elegant Baby Grand Cabinet Design

The sophisticated baby grand piano cabinet merges classic grand piano aesthetics with contemporary functionality. The polished ebony finish provides mirror-like luster reminiscent of concert instruments, while the grand-style design creates an impressive visual centerpiece. The elevated music rest accommodates standard sheet music with optimal viewing angles. Despite its dramatic presence, the CLP-865GP maintains more compact dimensions than traditional acoustic grands, making it accessible for homes where space is at a premium.
