| Unsurpassed beauty and elegance |
Every bit as beautiful as it sounds, the Clavinova radiates the dignified, commanding presence of a grand piano with its solid, finely finished cabinetry. The Polished Ebony finish (309PE only) recreates the formal elegance and high-class appearance of a concert grand, while the Polished Mahogany models (309PM only) have warm, natural wood grain to complement and attractively furnish any interior. The CVP Series sports several beautiful finishes: Polished Ebony (309PE), Polished Mahogany (309PM), Mahogany (307M, 305M, 303M), Cherry (307C, 305C, 303C, 301C), and Dark Rosewood (307, 305, 303, 301).

A wealth of features and expressive power – for more musical fun
|
| Seeing is believing |
Here's a piano with a view. The extra-large LCDs – including full color displays on the CVP-309/307/305 – give you an at-a-glance view of all main settings, and make operation easier than ever before. The Score display conveniently shows the notation in the LCD, while the Lyrics display lets you see and sing along with the words onscreen. And you can customize the display to your liking – using your own digital photos for the background. Enjoy the convenience, enjoy the control, and, most of all, enjoy the view.

| True piano feel (CVP-307 and CVP-305) |
More than any other keyboard, the Clavinova reproduces the experience of playing an actual grand piano. Thanks to the GH3 (Graded Hammer 3) technology, the new keyboard provides the characteristic weight balance between key and hammer, and features weight gradations of the keys – heavy in the lower end, light in the upper keys. With two velocity sensors, it even lets you use techniques previously possible only on a real grand piano, such as playing the same note repeatedly with perfect articulation.

State-of-the-art technology delivers authentic sound
|
| Exceptionally realistic AWM tone generation |
The heart of the Clavinova's voices is in the AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation technology – providing instrumental sounds of amazing realism and depth. The piano voices in particular benefit from the new Dynamic Stereo Sampling (DSS) system, which features recordings of differently played dynamics – from loud to soft – in order to fully capture the varying nuances in timbre and tone of a grand piano. Stereo Sustain Samples recreate the unique resonance of the strings and soundboard of a real grand piano when the damper pedal is pressed, while Key-off samples include the characteristic sound that occurs when a key is released and the dampers fall back onto the strings.

Making it real
|
| Mega Voice technology (CVP-309, CVP-307 and CVP-305) |
To enhance the playback of your recorded songs and the built-in accompaniment styles, the Clavinova features Yamahas groundbreaking Mega Voice technology. Each Mega Voice not only has the fundamental tone of the original instrument, but also the various playing techniques and performance sounds – such as finger slides and fret noise on guitar voices – giving the sound incredible realism and expressiveness. The bundled CD-ROM includes the MEGAEnhancer, a software tool for automatically converting sequenced song data enabling it to take advantage of the Mega Voice capabilities.
