Yamaha CSP-170 Clavinova
Music lovers who have always wanted to learn to play the piano can now fulfill, what for many, is a lifelong dream. The Clavinova CSP-170 teaches anyone how to play their favorite songs, right out of the music library already in their smart device. Stream Lights, exclusive to the CSP, move towards each key showing you which notes to play and when to play them. Based on their skill level, users can adjust the speed at which they’re learning, as well as the difficulty of the piano arrangement as they improve. Plus, the score display of the Smart Pianist App really helps users connect the dots between the Stream Lights above the keys and the notes on the page of their smart device. While technically a modern device, the Clavinova CSP-170 has a traditional piano appearance with few hints of the technology within. This of course changes when the user sits down with an iPad to access the many features of the CSP. The Natural Wood keyboard action (NWX) with escapement provides the piano feel one expects from a company like Yamaha, makers of fine acoustic instruments for over a century. Additional built-in amplifiers totaling 180W deliver the powerful sonic realism only possible after decades of experience as a leader in both professional audio and home theater systems.
Key Features
