Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Yamaha CLP-910 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 musical pleasure.

●The Clavinova CLP-910 digital piano offers unmatched
sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability
with Yamaha’s original “AWM Stereo Sampling” tone
generation technology for rich, musical voices, and a
special “Graded Hammer” keyboard which provides
graded key weight and response throughout the key-
board range. The grand piano voice features totally new
samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert
grand piano.
●Dual mode allows 2 voices to be played simultaneously.
●The digital reverb effect adds extra depth and
expressiveness to the Clavinova’s sound.
●With MIDI compatibility and a range of MIDI
functions, the Clavinova can easily be incorpo-
rated into advanced MIDI systems.
●Built-in computer interface for direct connection to
personal computers running advanced music
software. The music stand can be removed to
allow placement of a laptop-type personal com-
puter or other equipment on top of the instrument.

In order to make the most of your Clavinova’s performance potential and features, we urge you to read

this Owner’s Manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place for later reference.
