August/September 2017 www.womanthismonth.com showcase 28 Yamaha digital pianos have a reputation for being the world’s largest and finest; so it comes as no surprise that there are many options to choose from. Clavinova is an innovative line-up that utilises state-of-the-art technology to achieve grand piano quality, emulating the touch and tone to make the transition from digital to acoustic piano a seamless and enjoyable one. The mid-range CLP-645 is a popular choice that offers an inviting experience perfect for players of all levels. In a grand piano, sound resonates throughout the body of the instrument producing a rich reverberation that envelops the listener. This is reproduced perfectly in the Clavinova range through enhanced Virtual Resonance Modelling (VRM), which reproduces the complicated interaction of both string and soundboard resonance faithfully using a virtual musical instrument (physical modelling), and makes the sound more like a real acoustic piano. Natural Wood X (NWX) keyboards are created using unrivalled expertise and feature an escapement mechanism that reproduces the feel of an acoustic piano as it goes through the let-off and drop of the hammer when a key is played very softly. The action has been designed in such a way that the escapement is discernible only on the lightest keystrokes, similar to that of a grand piano. Yamaha’s advanced binaural sampling technology is now available on the Clavinova for the first time. It uses samples from the CFX concert grand piano – recorded with specialised microphones – to capture locational information and other nuances. Once you choose the Yamaha CFX Grand Voice and put headphones on, the binaural sampled sound is automatically ready and no additional settings are required. Now, with or without headphones, you can fully enjoy the concert experience at home. Call 17 225-513.
