Yamaha CLP885 – The Pinnacle of Digital Piano Innovation
The Yamaha CLP885 is the flagship model in the CLP-800 series, designed for pianists who demand nothing less than the most authentic grand piano experience in digital form. With cutting-edge sound technology, unparalleled realism in touch, and a beautifully refined design, the CLP885 is the closest you can get to playing a real grand piano—without actually owning one.
Grand Piano Sound, Digitally Perfected
At the heart of the Yamaha CLP885 are breathtaking samples from two of the most prestigious concert grand pianos in the world:
- The Yamaha CFX, known for its brilliant clarity and power
- The Bösendorfer Imperial, loved for its warm, romantic Viennese tone
Each note has been individually recorded across the entire 88-key range for stunning realism. And with CFX and Bösendorfer Binaural Sampling, the experience of playing with headphones feels as immersive and natural as sitting in front of the real thing.
Revolutionary Sound Projection and Acoustic Imaging
Unlike traditional digital pianos, the Yamaha CLP885 uses Grand Acoustic Imaging, an advanced speaker configuration developed from over 120 years of acoustic piano expertise. A combination of diffusers, waveguides, bidirectional horns, and carefully tuned speaker placement projects sound across low, mid, and high frequencies—replicating how a grand piano resonates in a room. It’s not just about what you hear; it’s about what you feel.
GrandTouch Keyboard & Pedals – Realism in Every Detail
The GrandTouch™ keyboard in the CLP885 features wooden white keys with synthetic ebony and ivory tops, graded weight across all 88 keys, and a refined escapement mechanism. You’ll feel every nuance, just like on a grand piano.
Even the GrandTouch™ pedals have been reengineered to mirror the pivot points, weight, and travel of a grand piano’s pedals—down to the friction and resistance underfoot. The GP Response Damper Pedal adapts to your touch, giving you subtle dynamic control and expressive depth.
Grand Expression Modeling & Enhanced VRM
The Yamaha CLP885 introduces a new level of expressive capability with improved Grand Expression Modeling. This sophisticated system calculates in real time how the player’s touch, speed, and pressure influence tone—delivering natural dynamics and tonal variety, just like an acoustic grand.
Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) has also been enhanced to reflect the full-body resonance of strings, soundboard, and frame, resulting in beautifully rich, evolving tones.
Expanded Sound Palette & Recording Tools
The Yamaha CLP885 isn’t limited to grand piano sounds. With 38 voices, including historical fortepianos, Lo-Fi and Chillout pianos, as well as 20 rhythms, the instrument is as versatile as it is refined.
Compose, arrange, or simply capture inspiration with:
- 16-track MIDI recorder
- USB Audio Recorder (WAV playback/recording)
- 303 lesson songs, including Czerny, Hanon, Beyer, and Burgmüller
- USB to Host and USB to Device connections
Perfect for advanced practice or creative composition.
Bluetooth® Audio, Smart Pianist App & More
The Yamaha CLP885 offers full Bluetooth Audio and MIDI connectivity. Stream music wirelessly, play along with your favourite tracks, or control the instrument using the intuitive Yamaha Smart Pianist app. Whether you’re adjusting settings or exploring interactive sheet music, the app puts everything at your fingertips.
Refined Cabinet Design with Modern Functionality
Inspired by the elegant curves of a grand piano, the Yamaha CLP885 exudes sophistication. Its wide music rest can hold multiple sheets or books, and the discreet control panel features a high-resolution 198 x 100 LCD that fades when not in use, preserving the minimalist aesthetic. It’s a showpiece in any home.
