Yamaha’s flagship upright-style Clavinova.
The Yamaha CLP-885 is the top-of-the-line upright cabinet Clavinova, offering Yamaha’s most advanced keyboard action and most powerful sound system available in a non-grand cabinet. Designed for serious pianists who want maximum realism without a grand-style footprint, the CLP-885 features Grand Expression Modeling and the concert grand voices of the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial.
Features
Playability
The CLP-885 is equipped with Yamaha’s GrandTouch™ keyboard with wooden white and black keys, providing the longest pivot length and greatest key mass of any upright-style Clavinova. This results in exceptional stability, refined control at soft dynamics, and more natural leverage—making it the most realistic upright-cabinet action Yamaha offers.
Sensitivity & Expression
With Grand Expression Modeling, the CLP-885 responds precisely to subtle variations in touch speed, depth, and timing. This allows pianists to shape tone color, phrasing, and articulation through technique, supporting expressive, nuanced performance that feels natural and controlled.
Sound Quality & Projection
The CLP-885 features Yamaha’s most powerful speaker system in an upright Clavinova, with multiple speakers strategically positioned to project sound upward and outward. Combined with Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) and advanced acoustic tuning, the result is a deep, clear, and room-filling sound that maintains clarity even at higher volumes—without requiring a grand piano cabinet.
