Key Features
The Yamaha Clavinova CSP-295 is a premium digital piano for players who want an authentic grand piano experience with intuitive modern control. Every part of the instrument has been designed to recreate the response, sound, and character of Yamaha's finest acoustic pianos. Alongside detailed Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial piano samples, advanced modelling technologies continuously respond to your playing, creating the natural tonal changes, resonances, and dynamic expression you'd expect from an acoustic instrument.
Just as importantly, the Smart Pianist app transforms how you interact with the piano. Browse sounds, change performance spaces, layer instruments, adjust settings, and practise with interactive scores directly from your smart device. Combined with the GrandTouch keyboard, immersive multi-speaker system, and binaural headphone technology, the CSP-295 offers a digital piano experience that feels remarkably close to sitting at a concert grand while adding everyday convenience that simply isn't possible with an acoustic instrument.

The CSP-295 has been built around two of the world's most respected concert grands: Yamaha's flagship CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial. Rather than relying solely on recorded samples, Yamaha combines these meticulously captured piano sounds with Virtual Resonance Modelling (VRM) and Grand Expression Modelling. Together, these technologies recreate the subtle interactions that constantly occur inside an acoustic piano, from string resonance and cabinet vibrations to the changing tonal character that responds to every variation in your touch. Yamaha has even created additional dedicated binaural recordings of both concert grands specifically for headphone use, placing you in the natural listening position of the instrument for a more convincing private playing experience.
This hybrid approach creates a more natural playing experience than traditional sample playback alone. Repeated notes never feel identical, pedalling produces the rich sympathetic resonance expected from an acoustic instrument, and your dynamics shape the tone in a convincing, musical way. Whether you're performing delicate classical works or expressive contemporary pieces, the piano responds naturally to every performance.
An authentic piano sound only feels convincing when it's matched by an equally realistic keyboard. The CSP-295 features Yamaha's GrandTouch keyboard with fully wooden white keys, carefully balanced counterweights, and individually graded hammers across all 88 notes. Together, these faithfully recreate the changing weight of an acoustic grand, allowing quiet passages, powerful chords, and rapid repetitions to feel equally controlled.
Yamaha has also extended the pivot length of each key, giving you greater leverage when playing further back on the keyboard. This creates a more consistent response wherever your fingers naturally land, making advanced repertoire, wide chords, and expressive phrasing feel comfortable and predictable. The result is a keyboard that encourages confident technique while delivering the balanced, natural response of an acoustic grand piano.
The CSP-295's speaker system has been developed with the same attention to detail as its keyboard and sound engine. Drawing on Yamaha's expertise in both acoustic pianos and high-end Hi-Fi speaker design, bass, midrange, and treble speakers are carefully positioned throughout the cabinet to recreate the way sound naturally projects from a grand piano rather than simply playing through a pair of conventional speakers. Grand Acoustic Imaging and bidirectional horns help spread the sound throughout the room, creating a spacious listening experience for both player and audience.
One particularly distinctive detail is Yamaha's use of spruce within the speaker cones. The pulp comes from the same spruce used to manufacture Yamaha CFX soundboards, allowing the speakers to produce a more natural attack and piano-like character. When practising with headphones, dedicated binaural samples of both the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial create the impression of sitting in front of the instrument itself, making long practice sessions feel more comfortable and immersive.
The Smart Pianist app acts as a natural extension of the CSP-295, placing the piano's controls on your compatible smartphone or tablet through a clear, intuitive interface. Change piano models, switch between virtual performance spaces, layer sounds, create keyboard splits, and adjust detailed settings with simple taps and swipes instead of navigating traditional control panels.
Beyond control, Smart Pianist opens up new ways to practise, perform, and enjoy the piano together. Browse hundreds of built-in songs with interactive scores, slow difficult passages, practise one hand at a time, or record your performances for review. You can even import PDF sheet music and audio files, with the Audio to Score function generating chord charts automatically to help you learn new songs more quickly. For beginners and younger players, Yamaha's Stream Lights illuminate the keys to play next, while the Guide function waits until the correct notes are played before continuing. Whether you're building confidence at the keyboard or simply sharing music with friends and family, the CSP-295 is designed to grow with every player.
