Yamaha CVP909 Digital Piano
Yamaha CVP909 | The Ultimate Digital Piano Experience
The Yamaha CVP909 is the flagship model in the CVP Clavinova series—a true fusion of tradition and innovation. Combining the authentic feel and expression of a grand piano with an immense array of instrument voices, accompaniment styles, and digital features, the CVP909 invites you to explore music in entirely new ways.
Whether you’re performing solo, playing along with a full virtual band, or simply enjoying the refined touch of a world-class digital piano, the Yamaha CVP909 delivers an unmatched playing experience.
The Touch and Feel of a Grand Piano
The CVP909 is equipped with Yamaha’s most advanced GrandTouch™ keyboard, featuring wooden keys, counterweights, and 88-key Linear Graded Hammers for the most accurate acoustic feel yet. The keys respond beautifully to every nuance of your touch, giving you complete expressive control across the entire dynamic range.
Yamaha’s GrandTouch™ pedals, including the GP Response Damper Pedal, recreate the subtle resistance of grand piano pedals for precise and intuitive foot control.
Grand Piano Voices with Rich Acoustic Depth
Enjoy the world-class sounds of the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial grand pianos, captured with remarkable realism and clarity. Both are sampled in incredible detail—including binaural sampling for a natural, three-dimensional sound when playing with headphones.
Yamaha’s Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) and Grand Expression Modeling bring these voices to life, dynamically responding to the way you play with complex harmonic overtones and tonal colour that mimic the behaviour of a true grand piano.
Perform with a Full Band—Right from the Piano
With 675 accompaniment Styles, the CVP909 turns your solo performance into a full band arrangement. Each style provides professionally produced backing that follows your chords and timing in real time.
Explore over 1,600 instrument voices, 58 Drum/SFX Kits, and 480 XG voices, giving you complete freedom to perform any style—from classical and jazz to pop, rock, or cinematic soundscapes.
