The perfect partner for all piano enthusiasts

Digital piano with GH3
keyboard, and AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling.

The CLP-170 is a new Graded Hammer 3
keyboard with Yamaha's high-quality Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) tone generation,
whose piano sound is made up of CD-quality stereo samples that dynamically
adjust according to touch. The CLP-170 is designed for the player who is
looking for a true piano feel and sound with a large range of voices,
connectivity to computers for expanded operation, and the newly introduced iAFC
effect function for a truly realistic acoustic sound. It combines
state-of-the-art technology with elegant design. Available in a choice of four
attractive woodgrain cabinets, Dark Rosewood, Cherry, Mahogany or Ebony with
the same polished finish as a grand piano, to make a handsome addition to any
room.

A perfect blend of innovation and style

It's all here in the new CLP Clavinovas. The stylish elegance of
a grand piano. Improved piano samples for incredibly realistic sound. A new
level of touch response with the new GH3 keyboard. And iAFC to provide an even
more natural, spacious piano sound. Cutting-edge technology has never looked so
good – the CLP Clavinovas.

Natural Feel with the New GH3 Keyboard

This innovative keyboard offers a new level of grand piano
realism. Like the previous GH (Graded Hammer effect) keyboard, the GH3 uses a
weighted mechanism and grade-weighted keys (gradually heavier, top to bottom)
to provide a natural feel. But to go even further, each key features a damper
mechanism with two velocity sensors that enables rapid playing of a single key
without the break in the sound that occurs with conventional electronic pianos.
Each key also has reduced spring load to absorb the shock when you play, taking
the strain off your fingers in the same way as a back check mechanism. You'll
particularly notice the difference it makes when playing energetic passages.

Take to the stage iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control)

Yamaha developed this advanced technology to bring you even more
performance enjoyment. It outputs sound picked up by internal microphones
through built-in rear speakers. Automatic adjustments are then made to create a
richer sound that best matches the acoustic characteristics of the room you're
playing in. It also uses signal processing to reproduce an authentic damper
effect. You'll notice the difference the three types of iAFC make as soon as
you start playing.

SEE (Spatial Ensemble Effect)

This reproduces the reverberations and resonances of a real
stage performance for a much more spacious, more natural sound. What's more,
thanks to the built-in microphone, the same effect can be added to the sound of
an accompanying musician to create the dynamic atmosphere of a live duet
performance. You can also enjoy this "stage" effect when singing as
you play.

NSB (Natural Soundboard)

By using sound picked up by a microphone to create a
"virtual soundboard", NSB assures an expansive, more natural sound.

DDE (Dynamic Damper Effect)

DDE recreates the subtle resonances that occur when you press
the damper pedal down on a grand piano. Instead of using the microphone, it
does this by sending a discrete set of samples out the rear speakers to create
a clear sense of depth.

AMW Tone Generation and New Piano Samples

Taken at different levels from loud to soft, these new samples
provide subtle differences in volume and timbre depending on how heavy or light
your touch is. In addition, the CLP-170 offers Stereo Sustain and Key-off
samples. Stereo Sustain Samples recreate the resonances of the strings and
soundboard when the damper pedal is pressed that contribute to the unique sound
of a grand piano. Key-off samples provide the delicate sound keys make when
they are released for another touch of realism.To take you even closer to
authentic grand piano performance pleasure, the CLP-170 comes with String
Resonance samples to provide the complex resonances that make acoustic piano
sound so rich and full.

Selection of Voices, Choice of Finishes

Besides new piano samples, you get a choice of other
stereo-sampled musical instruments to perform with. And thanks to enlarged
memory, these sample sounds are better than ever, providing added realism for
more music playing enjoyment. But Yamaha Clavinovas aren't designed just for
sound – they also feature an attractive, elegant finish ideal for modern
interiors. The CLP-170 offers a choice of four different finishes, Dark Rosewood
(CLP-170 shown), Mahogany ( 2718 LNK CLP-170M ), Cherry ( 2717 LNK CLP-170C ),
or Ebony, to more closely match your decor.

Download Music Software with Scorch™

As well as a built-in TO HOST PC interface, the CLP-170 features
a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. Now moving songs from your PC to your
Clavinova is as easy as "drag and drop". If you access the Internet
with your PC, be sure to visit 8006 LNK YamahaMusicsoft . Here you'll find a
wealth of information about software for Clavinovas including the latest
innovation in computer music interactivity – Scorch. Scorch is a cutting-edge
technology from music software developers that lets you purchase desired
selections by downloading from the Web site at the click of a mouse. You can
download MIDI song data and music score data as a set, and while displaying the
score on your PC's monitor, have the CLP play the song, or print out the score.

Music Book "50 Greats for the Piano"

Sheet music, for the built-in demonstration songs, is included
with CLP-170. The book is filled with standard classical and contemporary
repertoire pieces for both beginning and advanced pianists. If you're just
starting out at the piano, these are pieces you'll eventually be learning. If
you are an accomplished pianist, you probably already know many of these
pieces. What's more, the right and left hand parts of each piece has been
recorded separately. This allows the Clavinova to play one hand for you, while
you practice the other hand. You can even slow down the recordings to your
comfort level of tempo.

Folding Music Rest and Handy Music Clips

All the new Clavinovas come with a folding music rest and a
headphones hanger. For extra convenience the CLP-170 also features new music
clips for securing music books and scores.
