The Yamaha CLP400 series are an affordable range of digital pianos ideal for the home and institutions like youth clubs, religious houses, schools, colleges and anywhere where a versatile, high quality piano is required. The added bonus of buying a digital piano is that it can be played at any volume (including silent, with headphones!) so the pianist can practice at any time without disturbing anyone else.
The CLP430 features Yamaha's "Real Grand Expression" including graded hammer action (the bass keys are heavier than the treble keys - as on an acoustic piano), 14 different instrument voices, touch sensitivity adjustment, 3 pedals for soft, sostenuto and dampen, and recording facilities to aid composition and practice.
With advanced features, and Yamaha's most expressive and accurate representation of an acoustic piano yet built into the CLP400 series, playing the piano has never been more fun! CLP400 series pianos come with a matching bench.

A design that captures the presence of an acoustic piano
A Clavinova has all the presence and beauty of an acoustic piano. Polished models offer a luxurious, classic piano finish while the colour variations available are designed to complement any room decor.
Real Grand Expression: the sensation of playing a grand piano
Yamaha Real Grand Expression technology creates playing response and expressive capability like those of a grand piano. RGE combines three key elements: Sound, touch and pedals. The grand piano voices are created by sampling a Yamaha concert grand piano. A single piano was selected and finely tuned by a master piano technician. The result is a sound that captures both the beauty of each note and the harmonised sound of a single piano. The touch of a Clavinova has been meticulously refined using feedback from many pianists. Yamaha technology creates smooth and dynamic changes in tone according the strength of touch, replicating the expressiveness of a grand piano. Finally, the pedals are designed to complete the playing experience that only a Yamaha Clavinova can provide.
Intelligent Acoustic Control
Intelligent Acoustic Control provides a full, balanced sound with rich lows and clear highs even at low volume. One of the joys of a Clavinova is that the volume can be adjusted to avoid disturbing others. However, playing at low volumes can make it difficult to hear bass and treble. The Intelligent Acoustic Control function automatically adjusts the sound and the volume control makes fine adjustments to the speaker system, ensuring that you can always enjoy the utmost sound quality even at low volumes.
A selection of instrument voices
A Clavinova has many piano voices so that you can select the type of piano best suited to the musical genre you wish to play. In addition to acoustic pianos, you can enjoy the sound of electric pianos, including a Yamaha CP1 stage piano. Other instrument voices including classical organ, harpsichord and guitar are available while dual voice enables two sounds, for example piano and strings, to be combined giving the opportunity to play a wide variety of music.
A wide range of additional functions
In addition to being compact and requiring no tuning, a Clavinova has a number of other useful features. Two headphone jacks offer the ability to listen in to a practice session or play duets in silence. A metronome, transpose function, brilliance control and digital effects such as concert-hall reverb and many other versatile features are also incorporated.
Two recording options offer maximum versatility
Recording is a useful way to evaluate your performance and share with others. You can record at the touch of a button, and use two-track recording to record both hands individually, or create a duet. Playback tempo can be adjusted and performances can be stored on a USB memory device. In addition, a Clavinova has a USB audio recorder, which enables performances to be recorded as an audio track (WAV file format). Recordings can be transferred to a computer and stored on a portable digital media player or on a CD, for playback in a CD player. This function also provides the opportunity to play along with an audio track stored on a USB memory device.
