You can record your own music on the piano and then play it straight back. You can also save it to disk and put your music on your computer.

88-key Graded Hammer (GH) Keyboard (also known as progressive hammer action)

The CLP220 has the GH keyboard which uses a weighted mechanism and grade-weighted keys which grow gradually heavier from the top of the keyboard to the bottom, exactly like a grand piano. Unlike conventional digital piano keyboards that use springs or oil dampers to simulate a piano feel, the GH keyboard uses weights and mechanical linkages to achieve outstanding realism.

64-note polyphony

This means you can play up to 64 notes at the same time. (I hear you say you only have 10 fingers? But when the sustain pedal is depressed, the notes that are holding on count towards the 64.

Digital reverb  

Featuring the actual sounds of a concert grand piano, the CLP220 utilizes Yamaha's sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) stereo sampling tone generation and the expressive GH (Graded Hammer) keyboard to reproduce the rich resonance and golden tones of an actual piano. With 64-note polyphony, three foot pedals and a built in speaker system, the CLP220 delivers the full nuances of an acoustic instrument. It also features a 1-track song recorder to capture your inspirations, and MIDI terminals for tapping into the wide world of computer music.

Stereo Sampling Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) tone generation

Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) tone generation samples each instrument to generate a truly accurate sound, varying the volume and timbre of sound according to the touch on the keyboard.

Selection of Voices

Choose from a large selection of other stereo-sampled musical instrument sounds to perform with. These sounds provide added realism for more music playing enjoyment.

Choice of Finishes

Choose from dark rosewood, cherry, mahogany or polished ebony.

Delivery

Free delivery to UK, Ireland and most European Countries.

Assembly

The piano comes flat-packed and is easy to assemble (instructions in English provided). The electronics and keyboard are fixed in - all you have to do is assemble the base.

There are four screws that fix the base to the keyboard, four to fix the base together and a few smaller screws to fit the back board. The screw holes are already made and no gluing is required. Even the screw driver is provided!

I do advise two people to do the job though - purely because of the keyboard's weight - It is heavy and safer to have a helping hand when lifting it on to the base.

Questions

Your article on which digital piano to buy was really useful. We currently have a very old acoustic piano, which we are looking to replace with a digital one. I am grade 4 standard and my 8 year old son is grade 1. I also have 2 younger sons, who will eventually be pounding away on it too!
We are interested in a Yamaha, and I wondered if you could give me your opinion on the YDP131 versus the Clavinova CLP220 as clearly there is quite a price difference.
 
Many thanks

The differences between the CLP220 and the YDP131 are as follows:

                                       CLP220                                              YDP131

Speakers                          2 x 20 watts                                2 x 6 watts

(Due to the larger speaker output, the CLP220 has a deeper and more realistic tone than the YDP131)

Touch: Both have 88 fully-weighted, full size, touch sensitive keys. And a graded hammer action. However, the touch of the CLP220 does feel more realistic than the YDP131.

Instrumental Voices          10                                             6

(Extras: Electric piano 2, Harpsichord 2, Vibraphone, Church organ 2)

Dual Voice                        Yes                                            No

(You can play 2 different instrumental voices at the same time)

2 Track Sequencer              Yes                                            No

(Allows you to record your performances, then play along or overdub a second voice)

Internal Flash-Rom-Memory           Yes                                  No

(You can save your own performances and store MIDI-songs via USB-MIDI-Interface)

Dimensions: The CLP220 is 51mm longer, 4mm deeper and 169cm shorter than the YDP131

Weight:                            45kg                                37kg

Summary

The CLP220 has a more realistic sound and touch than the YDP131. It also has a few extra gadgets and instrumental voices. However, the YDP131 is more than good enough for anyone starting out.
