Introduction Welcome to the Wonderful Musical World of the Clavinova CVP! Authentic Acoustic Piano-like Touch Natural Wood Keyboard (CVP-309 including grand piano type) The special Natural Wood keyboard of the CVP-309 uses real-wood white keys, to reproduce as closely as possible the experience of playing an actual acoustic grand piano. The authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic keyboards, realistically recreating the hardness of the keys, the balance between the weight of the key and hammer, and the characteristic weight gradations of the keys - heavy in the low end, light in the high register - to make you feel as if you're playing a real grand piano. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally. GH3 Keyboard (CVP-307) This feature provides authentic, realistic keyboard response - much like the playing feel of a grand piano - with the lower keys being heavy in touch, the higher keys light, and all the natural gradations in between. Moreover, this specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally.
