A Former Top-of-the-Range Yamaha Clavinova
The Yamaha CLP-585 was a flagship model in its generation of the Clavinova CLP range. It was designed to provide an expressive, realistic piano-playing experience, combining Yamaha's experience in acoustic piano manufacturing with advanced digital technology.
One of its biggest attractions is the Natural Wood X keyboard. This uses real wood for the white keys, synthetic ivory keytops and an escapement mechanism, helping to create a more authentic playing feel.
The keyboard also features individual key weighting and counterweights, providing a carefully balanced response across the instrument.
Whether you are an experienced pianist, studying for examinations or simply enjoy playing at home, the CLP-585 offers a very satisfying playing experience.
Two Outstanding Concert Grand Piano Sounds
The CLP-585 features piano sounds sampled from two renowned concert grand pianos:
Yamaha CFX Concert Grand
The Yamaha CFX is Yamaha's flagship concert grand piano, known for its powerful, expressive sound and wide tonal range. The CLP-585 captures its character, allowing you to enjoy this impressive piano voice at home.
Bösendorfer Imperial Concert Grand
The Bösendorfer Imperial offers a contrasting tonal character, with a rich, warm and distinctive sound. Having both piano voices available gives you the opportunity to choose the sound that best suits the music you are playing.
Both piano sounds benefit from Yamaha's detailed sampling and sound technology.
Natural Wood X Keyboard with Counterweights
One of the standout features of the CLP-585 is its NWX (Natural Wood X) keyboard.
Unlike many digital piano actions, the white keys use real wood, carefully dried for use in musical instruments. The keyboard has been designed to reproduce the different weighting found across an acoustic piano keyboard.
Additional features include:
-
88-key Linear Graded Hammer action.
-
Natural Wood X keyboard.
-
Synthetic ivory keytops.
-
Escapement mechanism.
-
Key counterweights.
-
Three-sensor keyboard configuration.
-
Six touch sensitivity settings.
The result is a responsive keyboard that provides excellent control, whether you are playing softly and delicately or performing more demanding music.
Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM)
Yamaha's Virtual Resonance Modeling technology recreates the complex resonances that occur inside an acoustic grand piano.
When playing an acoustic piano, the strings, soundboard and other components interact with one another to create a rich and constantly changing sound. VRM recreates many of these characteristics digitally, responding to the notes played and the way the pedals are used.
This helps produce a more natural and expressive piano sound.
Other sound technologies include Key-Off Samples and Smooth Release, helping to reproduce the subtle changes in tone when keys are released.
Powerful Three-Way Speaker System
The CLP-585 features an impressive built-in speaker system designed to deliver a full, detailed sound across the keyboard.
Its three-way speaker arrangement has dedicated speakers for the bass, mid and treble frequencies, helping to provide a balanced and powerful piano sound.
The amplification system is rated at 180 watts in total, with six amplifier sections rated at 30 watts each.
Additional sound features include:
-
Acoustic Optimizer.
-
Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC).
-
Stereophonic Optimizer for headphone listening.
-
Six Reverb types.
-
Three Chorus types.
-
Seven Brilliance settings.
-
Eleven Master Effects.
The Stereophonic Optimizer is particularly useful when practising with headphones, creating a more natural sense of space and positioning.
More Than Just a Piano
As well as its excellent piano sounds, the CLP-585 includes a wide selection of additional instrument voices, rhythms and recording features.
You can explore different sounds, layer voices together and experiment with different musical styles.
Features include:
-
48 preset Voices.
-
480 XG Voices.
-
14 Drum / SFX kits.
-
Dual and Layer functions.
-
Split keyboard function.
-

-
303 built-in lesson songs.
-

Graham's Opinion
"I think this is excellent value for money. The Yamaha CLP-585 was an ex top-of-the-range Clavinova digital piano, and you can really appreciate the quality when you sit down and play it.
I think it plays well, has a lovely keyboard feel and offers a superb combination of piano sounds and features. It is a very capable instrument, and to have this level of Yamaha Clavinova available second-hand represents an excellent opportunity.
If you are looking for a quality digital piano without paying the price of a new flagship model, I would certainly recommend considering this one."
