Yamaha CLP-785 vs CSP-295: What are the differences?

[@shkzjly]

The host missed a difference in the sound between Yamaha CLP-785 and CSP-295 in his explanation, so I would like to explain it to you. The built-in sound of Yamaha CLP-785 includes four Fortepianos specially sampled from the Hamamatsu Musical Instrument Museum in Japan, while the sound list of CSP-295 does not include Fortepiano; the harpsichord sound in the sound list of CSP-295 is compared with CLP-785, which has the sound of the second manual keyboard of the harpsichord, while CLP-785 only has the sound of 8' and 8'+4' of the single manual keyboard.

The CLP-885 is around the corner and I’d love to see a comparison against the 785.

Get comparison video. I can't believe how affordable these instruments are!!

Basically, what this ended up saying is that unless you have a fairly narrow view of what you want from your digital piano, get the CSP-295 if you can afford the ~£1,000 difference. But then, the only thing I can think of that the CLP has the CSP doesn't are those 4 early piano sounds that's only on the CLP. Can we have a CSP-295 vs CVP-905 video? The price difference in your site is ~£700, which is more than in some other regions. In fact, in Hong Kong, there's *no price difference* (both are HK$33-34K). But more important, there are some tradeoffs between the two models that would make it an interesting comparison.

When will Yamaha update the CLP? They are too late

[@ePianoscouk]

Hi @mazica_art2630, Great question! Historically, Yamaha updates the CLP models every 3-4 years. The CLP-785 was launched in 2017, so we are indeed overdue for an update. However, COVID-19 and global supply chain issues have delayed many releases, including Yamaha's Genos workstation. Unfortunately, no one knows for sure when the CLP-785 will be replaced. Despite this, the CLP-785 remains a top-notch traditional-style digital piano, continuing to offer excellent quality and performance.
