Where it sits
Its price class holds 23 digital pianos between €2,400 and €9,000 (EU street prices) – the Yamaha CVP-905 sits in the middle there. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Kawai DG-30 and Roland LX-9.
Strengths & limits
In its favour
- 88 weighted keys with hammer action – the fingers learn the right force from day one
- Wooden keys instead of plastic – closer to an acoustic piano
- Three pedals (damper, sostenuto, soft) are included
- Bluetooth for apps and a wireless connection
Against it
- A piece of furniture with a fixed place – needs assembly, and moving it takes two people
