General
While it's technically the 'entry-level' model in Yamaha's Clavinova Series, the CLP-725 is nonetheless brimming with brilliant features and innovative functions. Fully-fledged yet a little more budget-friendly, this digital piano has an 88-note GrandTouch-S keyboard with synthetic keys, that not only offers a huge dynamic range, but the consistent control of precision key response, and a highly intuitive playing feel.
The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-725PE Polished Ebony
Backed up by binaural sampling technology, the Clavinova CLP-725 convincingly reproduces the dynamic range and tonal variations of Yamaha's CFX grand pianos. Through binaural sampling, piano sounds are given a kind of 3D stereo character, with more 'breathing room' and enhanced realism. In addition to this innovative bit of technology, Yahama have loaded a Stereophonic Optimizer into the CLP-725, which optimises sound spatialisation, and as a result, shapes a quality of surround sound that's best enjoyed when playing with headphones.
Clavinova Design
The Yamaha CLP-725 is all about eyes and ears and boasts a beautiful design that won't look out of place in most rooms. While this is the Polished Ebony version, Yamaha also offer a White, Black and a Dark Rosewood model, all of which are of course fitted with the same speaker system: two 16cm speakers supported by two 20W amplifiers. Lastly, if you'd prefer to play via your laptop using your own samples, you can simply connect the piano up via the fitted USB-to-host port.
