Most importantly, it brings joy to the individual and a sense of accomplishment.Yamaha is a trusted name when it comes to instruments, and has a large range for both the beginner and the advanced musician. When it comes to pianos, Yamaha carries an incredible line of acoustic pianos, as well as the world's most advanced piano – the Disklavier. Players are thrilled with the technological marvels of the TransAcoustic and Silent Acoustic pianos, as well as Yamaha's line of fine digital pianos.Developmental researchEach year Yamaha spends $200 million on research and development. These financial resources are built into Yamaha's culture so that they can offer quality craftsmanship, as well as innovative methods for creating new products – all of which are of value to their customers.Recently introduced was Yamaha's CLP-600 series of digital pianos. The Clavinova was named by TIME magazine in 2016 as one of the 50 Most Influential Tech Gadgets of All Time. Yamaha is currently the perennial leader in the digital piano category.Technological advancementsThe CLP-600 series comes in six different models – each with its own features and upgrades. For the first time, all CLP digital pianos models come fully loaded, and this series includes two exquisite grand pianos – the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial. Each piano also features a set of binaural CFX samples, which make playing with headphones an immersive, and compelling, experience.

On CLP-645 models (and higher), users can stream music from a mobile device through the piano's high-quality speakers – and play along at the same time. Pairing a CLP piano with a phone or tablet is effortless.Educational applicationsWith all the enhancements of the new series, the impressive sound of binaural CFX samples also makes these instruments well-suited for labs and practice studios, where students play with headphones on."We've added several significant improvements that make these new models the most versatile and user-friendly CLP digital pianos we've ever offered," says Dane Madsen, marketing manager, Digital Pianos, Yamaha Corporation.
