Yamaha Clavinova CLP480PE

The flagship model just got better. The Yamaha Clavinova CLP480PE offers two revolutionary advances in digital pianos; Linear Graded Hammer key action and GP Response damper pedal. Combined with its premium sound quality and grand piano soundboard, no other digital piano is closer to a Concert Grand than the CLP-480.

Yamaha Real Grand Expression (RGE) technology creates playing response and expressive capability similar to those of a grand piano.

RGE combines three key elements: Sound, touch and pedals.

The grand piano voices are created by sampling a Yamaha concert grand piano. A single piano was selected and finely tuned by a master piano technician. The result is a sound that captures both the beauty of each note and the resonant, rich sound of a single piano.
The touch of a the Yamaha CLP480 has been meticulously refined using feedback from many pianists. Yamaha technology creates smooth and dynamic changes in tone according the strength of touch, replicating the expressiveness of a grand piano.
The pedals are designed to complete the playing experience that only a Yamaha Clavinova can provide, with a damper pedal that responds to how it is pressed and how you play the keys.

WHY ARE THERE TWO PRICES?

The prices reflect the level of service we can offer depending on how you buy from us:

When you buy online

If you click-and-buy a digital piano from our website, we will offer what every other mail-order company does – boxed warehouse stock delivered by courier. They are contracted to deliver to the driveway; it is left to you to move, assemble and set up the instrument, and work out how to use it.

When you buy in-store

There is such a range of digital pianos that having a product specialist to help you understand which models would suit your needs before you are guided through them is priceless.

As one of Yamaha’s selected Homeworld showrooms, we have been recognised for our commitment to outstanding levels of customer service and product knowledge. This means when you visit One Man Band, we ensure you can see, hear and play a range of models in a relaxed environment.

But that’s just the beginning…

We have the knowledge and resources to personally deliver, assemble and configure your new piano exactly where you want it – top floor, basement, it’s up to you! Once we have checked your piano, we then spend time teaching you how to use the essential functions (even the simplest models have extra features that we can guide you through) so you can get the most enjoyment out of it. Of course, this can’t always be learnt in one go, so we are on hand to teach you how to use more of the features as you progress – a free service that never expires.

Add to this the other facilities we offer, including finance options, part exchanges and removal of your old piano, buying in-store definitely gives the best value for money.
