Ease of Use : 9
The piano came in a huge cardboard box which had the building instructions on top of it. It simply couldn't go wrong and was easy to assemble.

It came with a clear manual which I read only once: the features of this piano can all be accessed by using just a few buttons to the left of the keyboard in combination with the piano keys. Simplex Sigillum Veri! The 320 comes with an easy to use chart with all the combinations.


Features : 9
Since this Piano has 128-voice polyphony, I don't think I will ever hear the limit of that. It sounds so very much like "the real thing" that 128voice polyphony becomes somehow an irrelevant limit.

It has several levels of reverb, 10 different voices (the orchestra-voice being the least natural sounding) that are very wel sampled. The piano sound is as close to perfection as it gets these days.

I bought the CLP-320 simply for its piano like qualities and the GH-keyboard feels very natural, allowing me to play with all the subtlety I like. I have no need for all kinds of gimmicks like sequencers and drumcomputers so I mainly comment on the Piano part.

Expressiveness/Sounds : 10
This is as realistic as it gets in Digital Piano Land. I tried a whole bunch of digital pianos before deciding to buy the Yamaha and nothing can touch the Clavinova.

I play mainly Classical on my 320, sometime a little jazz or blues/boogie and the occasional "middle of the road" music: this 320 can do it all, it is capable of creating all kinds of musical atmosphere.

Reliability : No Opinion
I have only owned it for a few months now.

Customer Support : No Opinion

Overall Rating : 10
I would definitely get another if it was stolen!

I have played the piano for nearly all my life, this is my first digital and it never needs tuning!!

I like the whole thing: it's sound and touch are the best I have played on so far. There were Kawais, Rolands and Yamahas and this comes closest to the real pianos I have played in my life.
