"The Stream Light feature is nothing short of revolutionary - a learning tool that once felt like science fiction": Yamaha CSP-255 digital piano review

Yamaha CSP-255 review.

The Yamaha CSP-255 is part of the iconic Clavinova range, a staple in digital piano manufacturing since the mid-1980s. Unlike the traditional CLP series, CSP (Clavinova Smart Pianist) pianos are designed for smart learning and versatility, offering a more engaging and accessible approach to learning. Launched in 2017, the CSP series was built to integrate seamlessly with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app. The CSP-255 launched in mid-2023 alongside the CSP-275, CSP-295, and grand piano-shaped CSP-295GP, and it’s the most compact model in the range. It offers a space-saving design without compromising on features.

Clavinovas are designed as an alternative to traditional upright pianos, with a look that mirrors the shapes and curves of an acoustic instrument. While the CSP-255 is the most compact in the range, it still retains an imposing and elegant presence, offering a contemporary aesthetic that reflects the grandeur of an acoustic instrument. The function buttons are minimal and discreet. It comes in three finishes: black, white and a shiny and elegant polished ebony.
