It combines Yamaha's advanced digital piano technology, the GrandTouch keyboard, professional-quality piano sounds, hundreds of instrument Voices and Styles, a large colour touchscreen and an impressive built-in speaker system inside a beautiful grand piano-style cabinet.
This is not an acoustic grand piano.

A Grand Piano Experience Without the Maintenance of an Acoustic Grand
The CVP-809GP has been designed to bring together the elegance of a grand piano with the flexibility of a modern digital instrument.
Its large grand-piano-style cabinet gives it genuine presence in a room, while the digital technology inside means there is no need for the regular tuning and acoustic maintenance associated with a traditional grand piano.
You can practise quietly using headphones, play through the powerful internal speaker system, stream music wirelessly from a Bluetooth device, accompany yourself with professional backing Styles, record your playing and explore an enormous range of instrument sounds.
For someone who wants a piano that can do far more than simply play piano sounds, the CVP-809GP is a particularly capable instrument.
Yamaha's Flagship CVP Series Grand-Style Model
The CVP-809GP was positioned at the top end of Yamaha's CVP range, offering the company's most advanced combination of piano sounds, keyboard technology, accompaniment and performance features in a grand-piano-style cabinet.
Yamaha describes the CVP-809GP as having all the features of the CVP-809 housed in a sumptuous grand piano-style cabinet. It features CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial piano sampling, GrandTouch technology, a large touchscreen, 675 Styles, extensive Voice selection, Chord Looper, Piano Room with Session Mode, recording functions and Bluetooth audio.
That makes this much more than a conventional digital piano.
It can be a serious practice instrument, an entertaining family piano, a home recording instrument, a learning tool, an accompaniment keyboard and a beautiful piece of furniture all in one.
CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial Piano Voices
One of the biggest attractions of the CVP-809GP is the quality and variety of its piano sounds.
Yamaha includes samples from two world-renowned concert grand pianos:
Yamaha CFX
and
Bösendorfer Imperial
The Yamaha CFX is Yamaha's flagship concert grand, while the Bösendorfer Imperial provides a distinctive alternative tonal character.
On the CVP-809GP, these sounds are combined with advanced digital piano technologies including Virtual Resonance Modelling (VRM), Key-Off Samples and Smooth Release to create a highly detailed and expressive piano sound.
The CFX Grand Voice also features binaural sampling, which is particularly useful when playing through headphones, helping create a more immersive listening experience for the player.
256-Note Polyphony
The CVP-809GP provides a substantial 256-note maximum polyphony.
This gives the instrument plenty of headroom when playing complex piano passages, layered sounds, accompaniment Styles and other demanding arrangements.
It is particularly useful for the type of multi-layered performances the CVP series is designed to handle.
GrandTouch Keyboard with Counterweights
The CVP-809GP features Yamaha's GrandTouch keyboard, with wooden keys for the white notes, synthetic ebony and ivory keytops and escapement.
It also incorporates 88-key Linear Graded Hammers and counterweights.
The weighted action is designed to provide a playing response that reflects the differing weight of the keys across the keyboard.
The counterweights are particularly useful for helping reproduce the feeling of a grand piano action, especially when playing softly.
Yamaha also gives you five touch response settings:
Hard 2
Hard 1
Medium
Soft 1
Soft 2
This means the keyboard can be adjusted to suit different playing styles and individual preferences.
GP Response Damper Pedal
The CVP-809GP is fitted with three pedals:
Damper
Sostenuto
Soft
The damper pedal features half-pedal capability, and the CVP-809GP also incorporates Yamaha's GP Response Damper Pedal.
This is designed to reproduce the nuanced response of a grand piano damper pedal, giving the player greater control when using the sustain pedal.
The pedals can also have various other assignable functions, including Sustain, Sostenuto, Soft, Glide, Song Play/Pause, Style Start/Stop and Volume.
1,605 Voices and 58 Drum/SFX Kits
The CVP-809GP gives you an enormous choice of sounds.
Yamaha specifies:
1,605 Voices
58 Drum/SFX Kits
480 XG Voices
It also includes:
17 VRM Voices
36 Super Articulation2 Voices
301 Super Articulation Voices
The Voice Edit function also allows you to customise sounds to suit your preferences.
This gives you far more than a conventional digital piano, with acoustic and electric pianos, organs, strings, brass, woodwind, guitars, percussion and many other sounds available from the instrument.
675 Accompaniment Styles
Another major feature of the CVP-809GP is its extensive accompaniment section.
There are 675 preset Styles, covering a huge range of musical genres and playing situations.
You can play the keyboard while the Clavinova provides an automatic backing band, making it possible to turn a single-player performance into something much bigger.
Style controls include:
3 Intro variations
4 Main Variations
4 Fill-ins
Break
3 Endings
There are also four One Touch Settings for each Style, helping you quickly select suitable Voice and performance settings.
Chord Looper
The CVP-809GP also includes Chord Looper, allowing chord progressions to be recorded and looped while you play.
This can make practising, improvising and performing with accompaniment particularly enjoyable.
It is another feature that sets the CVP-809GP apart from a conventional digital piano.
Piano Room with Session Mode
The CVP-809GP includes Yamaha's Piano Room, providing a dedicated environment for selecting and enjoying piano sounds.
The instrument also includes Session Mode, allowing the player to perform alongside virtual musicians.
This makes the instrument particularly enjoyable for home playing because you can sit down at the piano and immediately create a much fuller musical performance.
9-Inch Colour Touchscreen
The CVP-809GP has a large 9-inch TFT colour touch display with 800 × 480-dot resolution.
The touchscreen provides an intuitive way of navigating the instrument's extensive functions.
You can select Voices, Styles, songs and other settings directly from the display, making a very powerful instrument much easier to operate.
The display also supports score, lyrics and text display.
The available display languages are:
English
Japanese
German
French
Spanish
Italian
The panel language is English.
Guide Lamps and Learning Features
The CVP-809GP includes a comprehensive selection of learning and guide functions.
These include:
Follow Lights
Any Key
Karao-Key
Your Tempo
It also features guide lamps above the keys and Yamaha's Performance Assistant Technology (PAT).
These features make the instrument especially useful for players who want to learn songs, practise melodies or develop their playing in a more interactive way.
16-Track Recording
The CVP-809GP can record performances using a 16-track MIDI recorder.
The instrument provides approximately 3MB of data capacity per song and supports Song Creator functions.
MIDI playback is compatible with:
SMF Format 0
SMF Format 1
XF
Recording is in SMF Format 0.
Having 16 tracks means different parts can be recorded separately, allowing much more detailed arrangements than a simple one-track recorder.
USB Audio Recorder
As well as MIDI recording, the CVP-809GP has a USB Audio Recorder.
You can record performances as audio and save them to USB flash memory.
Supported formats include:
WAV – 44.1kHz, 16-bit, stereo
MP3 – MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3
The instrument can also play compatible WAV and MP3 files.
Additional audio functions include:
Time Stretch
Pitch Shift
Vocal Cancel
Audio recordings can be up to 80 minutes per song.
Bluetooth Audio
The CVP-809GP features a built-in Bluetooth audio receiver.
This allows compatible smart devices to be connected wirelessly so you can play audio through the Clavinova's impressive speaker system.
This is particularly useful for playing along with backing tracks or simply using the CVP-809GP as part of your home entertainment system.
Microphone and Vocal Harmony
The CVP-809GP also includes a microphone input with input volume control and Mic/Line In functionality.
It features Vocal Harmony, with Yamaha specifying 54 preset and 60 user configurations.
This allows you to connect a microphone and make use of the Clavinova's vocal and performance features alongside your keyboard playing.
Powerful Built-In Speaker System
Yamaha has designed the CVP-809GP's speaker system specifically around the grand-piano-style cabinet.
The amplification is:
(40W + 30W + 20W) × 2 + 80W
The speaker system consists of:
(16cm + 5cm + 2.5cm dome) × 2 + 20cm
Yamaha also specifies a Spruce Cone Speaker and Twisted Flare Port.
The idea is to make use of the substantial cabinet to create a broad, deep and resonant sound that fills the room.
Internal Memory and USB Connectivity
The CVP-809GP has approximately 2GB of internal memory and supports external USB flash drives.
Connectivity includes:
2 × USB TO DEVICE
USB TO HOST
This provides convenient ways of connecting storage devices and computers for managing and transferring compatible data.
MIDI Connectivity
Traditional MIDI connectivity is also provided via:
MIDI IN
MIDI OUT
MIDI THRU
This makes the CVP-809GP suitable for use with other MIDI equipment and compatible music technology.
Headphones and Audio Connections
For private practice, the CVP-809GP features two standard stereo headphone connections.
It also includes:
AUX IN – stereo mini
AUX OUT – L/L+R, R
AUX PEDAL
The microphone section provides Mic/Line In functionality and input volume control.
Smart Pianist Integration
The CVP-809 series is compatible with Yamaha's Smart Pianist ecosystem for supported functions.
Yamaha specifically lists iOS Smart Pianist integration for the CVP-809 series, including Song-related functionality.
This can provide another convenient way of working with compatible content and devices.
Display Output
The CVP-800 series can output its display to an external display using a commercially available compatible USB display adaptor.
Yamaha specifies an output image size of 800 × 600, although the CVP's own display is 800 × 480, meaning blank areas appear at the top and bottom of the external image.
Registration Memory
The CVP-809GP has 8 Registration Memory buttons.
Registration settings can be controlled using:
Registration Sequence
Freeze
This is particularly useful for performing because frequently used combinations of Voices, Styles and settings can be recalled quickly.
Playlist
The CVP-809GP has a substantial Playlist facility supporting up to 2,500 records.
This can be used to organise songs, registrations and other performance information for convenient recall.
A Beautiful Grand Piano-Style Cabinet
The CVP-809GP looks very different from a conventional upright digital piano.
Its cabinet has been designed in the style of a grand piano, giving the instrument a much more substantial and elegant appearance.
The polished ebony finish is particularly striking and gives the piano a traditional, premium look.
This makes it a great choice for someone who wants a piano that looks like a significant piece of furniture as well as functioning as a highly capable musical instrument.
The CVP-809GP features a folding key cover and music rest with integrated music clips.
Condition
This is a second hand Yamaha CVP-809GP and it is in great condition.
The photographs give a good representation of the actual instrument, and customers can see the quality and presentation of the cabinet and controls from the images.
Buying second hand gives you the opportunity to own a premium Clavinova model with an extensive specification at a considerably more accessible price than buying an equivalent new instrument.

The CVP-809GP was designed to be far more than a straightforward digital piano.
It combines:
Premium Yamaha piano sounds
GrandTouch keyboard technology
Grand-piano-style cabinet
1,605 Voices

256-note polyphony
9-inch colour touchscreen
