Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-765GP is described as the flagship digital grand piano in the Clavinova line, sitting above the CLP-695. Commenters who own or have played it call the sound and build quality exceptional, with one saying it is 'the top end of digitals' before you'd rather buy an acoustic. Pricing is steep, reported between $6,299 and over $7,500, pushing some shoppers to weigh cheaper alternatives like the Yamaha CP88. One owner in ebony polish praises it as an elegant furniture piece resembling a real grand piano, with display space underneath. Many prospective buyers ask practical questions before purchasing, including whether it has casters for moving, how its weighted keys compare to models like the Korg C1 Air, and whether it truly feels like an acoustic grand.
