Clavinova CLP-340 Cherrywood delivers piano elegance and digital power
🎹 Detailed Description
The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-340 in a warm Cherrywood finish is an elegant fusion of classical piano feel and modern digital versatility. Built into a refined upright cabinet that mimics the stature of a traditional acoustic, this Clavinova supports serious musical expression in a more compact footprint.
Touch & Key Mechanism:
It features Yamaha’s Graded Hammer 3 (GH3) action, meaning the lower keys feel heavier and more solid, while the higher keys are lighter and more responsive—just like an acoustic grand.
The keys are topped with synthetic ivory, offering a tactile grip and a premium feel under the fingers.
Sound Engine:
At its core is Pure CF Sampling, derived from Yamaha’s world-class CFIIIS concert grand.
It uses 4-level AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) Dynamic Stereo Sampling, so the tone responds dynamically to how softly or strongly you play.
For realism, the piano includes stereo sustain samples, which recreate the rich resonance when the damper pedal is used, as well as key-off samples (the subtle sound as keys are released).
There’s also a damper resonance effect: it replicates how real piano strings continue to vibrate sympathetically when the pedal is pressed.
Polyphony & Voices:
It supports up to 128-note polyphony, so even dense, sustained passages or fast runs won’t drop off.
You get 14 instrument voices, each with two variations, including grand pianos, electric pianos, strings, and more, which gives you creative flexibility.
Pedals & Performance:
There are three pedals: damper (with half-pedal capability), sostenuto, and soft. This gives you nuanced control over sustain and expression.
A built-in LED display (3-digit) and intuitive panel controls make it easy to navigate functions.
Recording & Connectivity:
You can record your performance on the built-in 2-track recorder, save up to 3 songs in internal memory, and also work with SMF (standard MIDI file) format.
Connectivity options include USB to Host, USB to Device, MIDI In/Out/Thru, dual headphone jacks, AUX In/Out, and even a LAN port for internet-based piano services.
Amplification & Speakers:
The sound system comprises 40 W × 2 amplifiers and a pair of speaker units (16 cm woofers + 5 cm tweeters), which deliver clear, full-bodied sound.
Other Features:
You get 50 preset songs, a metronome, transpose and tuning settings, scale types, and split/layer modes so you can customize your playing experience.
The keyboard has a sliding key cover to protect the keys when not in use.
Dimensions are roughly 1,408 mm wide × 514 mm deep × 917 mm tall, and it weighs about 69 kg.
Design & Aesthetics:
The Cherrywood cabinet gives the piano a warm, inviting tone in both sound and appearance. Its upright-style frame fits beautifully into both classic and modern interiors.
The matching bench adds a cohesive, polished look.
Why It Stands Out:
It strikes the perfect balance between authentic acoustic piano feel and digital flexibility.
The GH3 action and synthetic ivory keys make playing deeply expressive and comfortably realistic.
Its 128-note polyphony, rich sampling, and resonance effects create a sonorous, immersive sound.
With modern connectivity and recording features, it's great for learners, teachers, composers, or serious hobbyists.
The cherrywood finish adds a touch of elegance — not just an instrument, but a piece of furniture as well.
