CVP-509 specifications

The Yamaha CVP-509 is a sophisticated digital piano that seamlessly merges advanced technology with musicality, making it an ideal choice for both budding musicians and seasoned performers. Designed as part of Yamaha's Clavinova series, the CVP-509 offers an impressive array of features that elevate the playing experience.

At the heart of the CVP-509 is the Pure CF Sound Engine, which provides remarkably realistic piano sounds. The Grand Piano Voices utilize samples from Yamaha's renowned CFIIIS concert grand piano.

Additionally, the instrument features a variety of other instrument voices, including strings, organs, and choirs, expanding the creative possibilities for musicians.

One standout characteristic of the CVP-509 is its Advanced Wave Memory Technology.

The result is an incredibly lifelike performance that responds dynamically to the player's touch.

The CVP-509 is equipped with the acclaimed Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) keyboard action, which mimics the feel of an acoustic piano by providing heavier resistance in the lower register and lighter touch in the higher register.

Great emphasis is placed on educational features in the CVP-509. The instrument includes the Smart Chord feature, which enables users to play complex chords with ease, making it perfect for novice players seeking to develop their skills. Additionally, the built-in Music Database provides an extensive collection of songs and styles, allowing players to explore a wide range of musical genres.
