Read More »When looking at the Arius or Clavinova models, both series’ have weighted keys. This may lead you to wonder what the real difference is in the action, but an experienced player will surely notice. For those serious about playing the piano, the action must be as authentic as possible to capture all the subtle nuances, and only the CLP series gets close. So, for those looking for the most authentic acoustic feel, the Yamaha CLP645 series is the best bet, compared to YDP models that sometimes have synthetic ebony or plastic keys. The sound engine in CLPs is significantly different from the one in a YDP. Within all CLP pianos, there are samples of two of the finest concert grands, coming from the Yamaha CFX and the Bosendorfer Imperial. On the other hand, the YDPs have the “Pure CF” sound engine, which takes samples from the Yamaha CFIII grand piano. So, when it comes to CLP vs YDP, the sound difference is noticeable, with Clavinovas sounding genuinely authentic, while YDP offers a perfectly fine tone for beginners. Additionally, Clavinovas are equipped with Virtual Resonance Modeling. While this is only in models CLP635 and up, this technology works to digitally recreate the mechanical resonance you would achieve with an acoustic piano. This results in an organic and richer sound. That’s not all. There are a few more key differences when debating Clavinova or Arius, including tone generation, amplifiers and speakers, and recording. Let’s break it down. Tone Generation: In terms of tone, the Arius series uses Yamaha CFX for its samples, while Clavinova uses CFX and Bosendorfer, as explained before. This addition results in the ability for Binaural Sampling, Key-off samples, and Smooth Release for a much more authentic tone.

Amplifiers & Speakers: The amplification and speaker systems in Arius and Clavinova models are pretty comparable at the start, however, as you go higher in the Clavinova series, you can get much more powerful amplifiers and speakers. For instance, a YDP-S54 features amplifier specs at 20W x 2 and speakers at 12cm x 2, however, a CLP-645 offers amplifiers (25W + 25W) x 2 and speakers at (16cm + 8cm) x 2. This offers more robust sound and power in the Clavinova series.

This offers more robust sound and power in the Clavinova series. Recording: On both the Yamaha Arius and Clavinova series’ you can record and playback music internally. This is wonderful for students learning to play and practicing new pieces. That being said, the Arius range can only store and playback one piece of music at a time, so when you move on to the next, you have to forgo your last piece. On the other hand, the CLP-635 series and up can store up to 250 songs! While some differences in sound are comparable, or at least not particularly recognizable to the untrained ear, the Clavinova series is best built for those looking to take their piano playing seriously as it offers the most comparable sound to an actual acoustic piano.
