Introduction

 

Welcome to the Wonderful Musical World of the Clavinova CVP!

Authentic Acoustic Piano-like Touch 
with Graded Hammer (GH) and Graded 
Hammer 3 (GH3) Keyboard 

The Clavinova is the next best thing to a real piano. It features an exceptional natural piano 
touch and expressive response—thanks to the remarkable Graded Hammer keyboard. Just 
as on an actual grand piano, the lower keys are heavy in touch and the higher keys are 
light, with all the natural gradations in between.

The CVP-305 features the enhanced, improved Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) technology, pro-
viding performance functions and expressive power found only on grand pianos, such as 
having repeated plays of the same note perfectly articulated, even when playing at high 
speed or with partial key release.
