Yamaha CLP-845 Palisander Digital Piano

Yamaha CLP-845 R — Premium Clavinova Digital Piano with GrandTouch-S Action

The Yamaha CLP-845 R is a flagship-tier Clavinova digital piano in Dark Rosewood finish, engineered to deliver the touch and tone of a concert grand in a home-friendly cabinet. Built around the GrandTouch-S wooden-key action, it pairs Yamaha's flagship CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand samples with Virtual Resonance Modeling and Grand Expression Modeling. Pianists who want authentic grand-piano feel without the maintenance of an acoustic instrument will find this model a natural fit.

What sets the CLP-845 R apart in the Clavinova lineup

Two flagship grand piano voices sit at the heart of this model: the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial, each sampled across all 88 notes. Yamaha's Binaural CFX technology wraps the CFX sound in a 3D spatial field when playing through headphones, while the GrandTouch pedal system adds expressive half-pedaling control.

GrandTouch-S keyboard — authentic grand-piano feel

Wooden white keys, synthetic Ebony and Ivory top layers, escapement simulation, and graded hammer weighting combine to mirror the mechanical behavior of an acoustic grand.

• Keyboard Action: GrandTouch-S with wooden white keys — graded weight and escapement click for genuine grand-piano response
• Pedal System: 3-way unit with damper (half-pedal), sostenuto, and soft — full acoustic-style pedal control

Concert-grand sound and immersive speaker system

Yamaha's latest tone generator chip feeds the four-speaker, two-way system with diffuser technology, producing a wide, room-filling soundstage. Virtual Resonance Modeling recreates the sympathetic vibrations between strings, soundboard, and dampers.

• Polyphony: 256 notes — headroom for dense pedal work and layered voices without note drop-out
• Voices: 38 sounds including Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial — flagship concert grands plus electric pianos, organs, strings, and more
• Speaker System: 2-way configuration, 2 × 45 W + 45 W amplification — dedicated drivers and diffusers project tone into the room

Bluetooth, recording, and built-in learning tools

Bluetooth audio and MIDI let the player stream backing tracks or connect to apps wirelessly, while USB ports support direct computer connection and USB-stick recording in stereo WAV at 44.1 kHz / 16-bit. A 16-track sequencer, 250-song MIDI recorder, and 20 onboard rhythms turn the instrument into a compact composition studio.

• Built-in Songs: 376 songs including 50 classical pieces and 303 lessons (Beyer, Burgmuller, Hanon) — guided practice material for every level
• Connectivity: Bluetooth audio + MIDI, USB-to-Host, USB-to-Device, 2 × 6.3 mm headphone jacks, 3.5 mm aux input, stereo 6.3 mm outputs — flexible integration with home studio and stage setups

Who should choose the Yamaha CLP-845 R

The Yamaha CLP-845 R is the right choice for advanced students, returning adult pianists, and serious home performers who want the touch and tone of a concert grand without the cost or maintenance of an acoustic instrument. Binaural CFX voice and dual headphone outputs make it equally well suited to late-night practice in shared spaces, while the 16-track sequencer and Smart Pianist app support composers and home-studio producers.

Clavinova heritage and the CLP-800 series

The Clavinova line has been Yamaha's flagship digital piano family for decades, and the CLP-800 series represents the latest evolution of that heritage. Within the CLP-800 lineup, the CLP-845 sits in the upper-mid range, above the CLP-825 and CLP-835 and below the CLP-875 and CLP-885 flagship models.
