Yamaha CLP-835 - polished ebony

The CLP-835 is a digital upright piano offered by Yamaha.

The sounds of the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand pianos are available in binaural sound. You can also play with a variety of rhythms, as well as two fortepiano sounds.

Clavinova CLP digital pianos are designed to reproduce the feel and experience of a grand piano on a digital instrument, combining the latest digital technology with the art of piano craftsmanship cultivated for over 120 years.

The new CLP-800 series incorporates several new technologies at every stage of the process to replicate the complex interactions that occur inside a grand piano and offer the pianist an unprecedented experience on a digital instrument.

Highlights of the CLP-835

• Grand Acoustic Imaging technology with spatial sound that creates the ambiance of a grand piano.


• Thanks to the new sound generator chip, Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) technology produces richer and more natural resonance in this new generation of series.


• A new sound generator chip provides the most sumptuous and innovative piano sounds to date.


• Grand Expression Modeling technology now produces even more sound nuances based on the musician's technique.

Key Features of the CLP-835

GrandTouch Keyboards and Pedals

The GrandTouchTM and GrandTouch-STM keyboards have been developed to recreate as faithfully as possible the feel of a grand piano keyboard. In the CLP-800, the weight, shape, materials, and movement of the internal parts have been adjusted so that the perceived resistance at the fingertips is even closer to that of a grand piano mechanism.
The new GrandTouchTM pedals of the CLP-800 series not only resemble grand piano pedals, but also allow musicians to feel the same resistance under their feet as on a grand piano when they press and release them.

The Excellence of a Piano

The CLP-800 series is equipped with a new sound generator chip developed by Yamaha, with superior computing power, which allows for the most sumptuous and highest quality piano sounds to date.
It features the sounds of two world-renowned concert grand pianos: the CFX, Yamaha's premium concert grand piano, and the Bösendorfer Imperial, with its famous warm Viennese sound.

Great Sound and Great Design

The CLP-800 series is the closest thing to a grand piano, not only in terms of feel and sound but also in terms of design. They feature the many smooth curves that make the grand piano such a refined instrument.
The wider music stand does not hinder the dialogue with the music but is also very functional, as it can hold multiple spread-out scores.
Finally, the LED display on the control panel of the high-end models is designed to turn off when not in use, eliminating unnecessary elements from the musician's field of vision.

The Benefits of a Digital World

Bluetooth function, binaural headphone sampling, record your performances, compatible with the Smart Pianist app, rhythm tracks to play along with. So many possibilities thanks to the digital features of the CLP-800 series.

An Advanced Speaker Technology

While grand pianos amplify sound through their large soundboards and bodies, digital pianos amplify sound through their speakers.
To overcome this structural limitation, by applying the knowledge and techniques acquired over more than 120 years of making acoustic pianos, Yamaha has optimized the placement, orientation, and volume balance of the speakers in the low, mid, and high frequency ranges of the CLP-800 series.

Improved VRM Technology

The CLP-800 series pianos reproduce richer and more natural resonance than ever before, thanks to the new sound generator chip combined with the revolutionary Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) technology.
VRM technology creates a rich and varied sound by simulating the complex sympathetic tones created when string vibrations propagate to the soundboard and other strings, depending on the timing and intensity of the keys and pedal.

Our Experts' Reviews

• The touch of this digital piano's keys is barely distinguishable from that of an acoustic piano. The sound seems deeper and more resonant than that of an upright piano.


• Piano sounds with a lot of dynamics and subtle sound nuances.
