Yamaha Clavinova CSP Comparison Chart: CSP-150 to CSP-295GP
The CSP is the Clavinova you play with your phone or tablet: Stream Lights over the keys and Yamaha's Smart Pianist app. Here is how the models compare.
The Clavinova CSP series pairs a Clavinova piano with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app and Stream Lights, lights above the keys that show you which note to play next. It also plays along with you, using hundreds of accompaniment styles. This chart compares every CSP model.
The Differences in Brief
- CSP-150 and CSP-170: the earlier models, with GH3X and NWX keyboards.
- CSP-255 and CSP-275: the GrandTouch-S keyboard (wooden white keys on the CSP-275), Bluetooth audio and MIDI, and Grand Expression Modeling.
- CSP-295 and CSP-295GP: the GrandTouch keyboard with counterweights and linear graded hammers, the GP Response Damper pedal and the largest speaker systems; the CSP-295GP in a baby grand cabinet.

Which Is Right for You?
If the app and the lights are what draw you to the CSP, every model has them; the step up is the keyboard and the speakers. Play a CSP-255 and a CSP-295 side by side to feel the difference the counterweighted GrandTouch keyboard makes. For the CLP models without the app-led features, see our CLP-800 chart.
