Introduction
Enhanced Realism and Natural Expressiveness
Authentic Acoustic Piano-like Touch
NW (Natural Wood) with Synthetic ivory keytops
The CGP-1000 is one of a new breed of instruments that features a keyboard with the feel
of real ivory. The special Natural Wood keyboard of the CGP-1000 uses real-wood white
keys. The key surface is soft and slightly porous, giving the keys added grip and a natural
friction that lets you play easily. The authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond
existing electronic keyboards, it makes you feel as if you’re playing a real grand piano.
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.
This Clavinova features the groundbreaking technologies of the Hybrid Active Sound-
board System plus an iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control) effect – utilizing an
actual piano soundboard along with a finely crafted grand piano cabinet to perfectly
recreate the deep sonic resonances and subtle harmonics of a concert grand piano –
all in a full-featured digital keyboard instrument.
The Hybrid Active Soundboard System uses a real soundboard and special Vibro-trans-
ducers to effectively reproduce for the first time on a digital keyboard the full experi-
ence of playing a true grand piano. This effect is NOT produced by speakers; the
soundboard resonates naturally and transmits both sound and vibration in the exact
same way an actual grand piano does!
Advanced iAFC technology is also included on this instrument. Turn on the iAFC effect
and hear the sound expand around you, as if you're playing on the stage in a concert
hall. The overall sound is deeper and more resonant, especially when using the
damper pedal, recreating and emphasizing the natural sounds of acoustic instruments.
