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.
