Very nice piano, keyboard and pedals feel very much like grand acoustic pianos that I have played.
Great sound, great fidelity, great touch

I love playing this piano. The resonance of the lower keys is remarkable. It provides all the sound and fidelity of a Yamaha grand in one fifth the space.
Unbelievable sound

Love this Digital Piano. I settled on this Model, the CLP 785, because it looks, feels and sounds like an actual Grand Piano. There are so many voices available to make just the kind of music that you want to make. To be as creative as you want to be. The MIDI interface is very good, however I love the Bluetooth connection. I can play background music, or complete songs, thru the Piano's awesome speaker system. This is everything that you could want in a digital piano.
I was shopping for an acoustic grand, but…

I had been shopping got an acoustic grand piano for weeks when I decided I needed an upgrade from my old piano. Out of curiosity, I wanted to try the Yamaha CLP-785 and found one at Carlson's, just south of the Twin Cities. Once I sat down, I was sold. Beautiful sound and so many options. Never needs tuning, I don't need to cover it like I would have had to do with a grand, and no messing with humidity issues. I had the piano delivered the next day and have bern playing it daily since we got it last summer. Lightweight so I can slide it around for cleaning or if something falls behind it, and it's beautiful. Zero regrets.
Beautiful instrument

I have always wanted to learn how to play a piano. Now that I am retired I have the time. I began taking lessons and after a few months with a cheap keyboard I decided that I needed something more substantial. I spent a lot of time online researching pianos and decided that a digital piano was the way to go. The reasons I purchased the CLP785PE are twofold. Most importantly, the keyboard had to feel like the baby grand piano I play during my lessons. The CLP785 does this remarkably well. The keys are nicely weighted and they feel like proper piano keys. There is nothing cheap or plastic about them. Secondly, I wanted the instrument to look like an acoustic piano. I didn't want there to be screens or buttons to distract from it's look; I didn't want it to look 'digital.' The polished ebony finish was a bonus. I would have purchased matte black (to save a little money) but the store only had the polished ebony. The owner told me that this piano deserved nothing less than this finish. I'm really glad my new piano has this finish. I have shown my piano to friends and they are stunned to discover it is a digital. A couple play piano and were amazed at how much it feels, and sounds, like an acoustic. The power of the amplification system is more than adequate. The sound fills my home, nicely. I practice every day, and I find myself sitting before it at different times of the day and night. I didn't do this with my keyboard. This piano is a real joy to play. The built-in metronome has been helpful. I have sampled some of the many voices but find myself returning to the default CFX. I would definitely recommend this piano to anyone looking for a quality instrument. I can think of nothing negative to say about it.
Definitely would buy again. Still getting adjusted to it.

I use it for weekly masses at our parish in WI. Our old Roland was close to 30 years old and needed replacement. I would have liked a demo from the Appleton store where it was purchased after delivery occurred. The manual is OK but better seeing a demo than reading the manual.

It may be my imagination but it seems the sound quality of the top 1-2 octaves is not nearly as good as the rest -if I ever have time , I'll stop by the store and see what the floor model sounded like at that end
