Introduction
Enhanced Realism and Natural Expressiveness
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 key-
board. 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-405/403 features the enhanced, improved Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) technol-
ogy, providing 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.
