Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Yamaha Clavinova. Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument that employs

advanced Yamaha music technology. With the proper care, your Clavinova will give you many years of

●Stereo sampling of the acoustic piano voices offers unmatched realism and expressive

realistic reproductions of all other voices.
●Piano-like touch response — adjustable in 4 stages — provides extensive expressive
control and outstanding playability.
●Dual mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.
●Split mode (CLP-880/860) allows different voices to be played by the left and right
hands.
●On the CLP-880/860, damper pedal includes natural resonance effect for the piano
voices, simulating the string and sound-board resonance of acoustic pianos.
●Metronome feature with variable tempo facilitates practice.
●2-track digital recorder lets you record and play back anything you play on the key-
board.
●MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI functions make the Clavinova useful in a range
of advanced MIDI music systems.

vanced music software.
