The Yamaha CLP-865GP combines the expressive realism of the Clavinova 800 Series with a grand piano cabinet design, offering a more immersive playing and listening experience. With Grand Expression Modeling and the voices of the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial, the 865GP delivers increased depth, projection, and visual impact—making it an excellent choice for homes, churches, and performance-focused spaces.
Features
Playability
The CLP-865GP features Yamaha’s GrandTouch™ keyboard with wooden white and black keys, providing a longer pivot length, greater mass, and improved leverage compared to GrandTouch-S actions. This results in more consistent control, especially in soft dynamics and advanced technique, and a playing feel that is closer to an acoustic grand piano.
Sensitivity & Expression
With Grand Expression Modeling, the CLP-865GP responds naturally to variations in touch speed and depth, allowing pianists to shape tone color and dynamics through technique rather than relying on volume alone. This added sensitivity supports expressive phrasing, voicing, and refined musical control.
Sound Quality & Projection
The grand piano cabinet design allows for a larger, more sophisticated speaker system and improved sound dispersion. Multiple strategically placed speakers project sound upward and outward, creating a broader, more enveloping sound field. Combined with Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM), the result is a richer, more resonant tone that fills the room more like an acoustic grand.
