Welcome to the Wonderful Musical World of the Clavinova CVP!

Authentic Acoustic Piano-like Touch
Natural Wood Keyboard (CVP-309 including grand piano type)
The special Natural Wood keyboard of the CVP-309 uses real wood, to reproduce as
closely as possible the experience of playing an actual acoustic grand piano. The
authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic keyboards,
realistically recreating the hardness of the keys, the balance between the weight of the
key and hammer, and the characteristic weight gradations of the keys – heavy in the
low end, light in the high register – to make you feel as if you're playing a real grand
piano. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques only possible
on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having the sounds
blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key
quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally.
GH3 Keyboard (CVP-307)
This feature provides authentic, realistic keyboard response – much like the playing
feel of a grand piano – with the lower keys being heavy in touch, the higher keys light,
and all the natural gradations in between. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard
lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note
successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper
pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the
sound cutting off unnaturally.
The Acoustic Ambience of a Grand Piano
—with the iAFC Feature
Turn on the iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect, and hear the sound expand
around you, as if you're playing on stage in a concert hall. The overall sound is deeper
and more resonant, especially when using the damper pedal, recreating and empha-
sizing the natural sounds of true acoustic instruments.
