Powered by over 100 years of piano craftsmanship and 45 years of synthesizer innovation, the CP88 stage piano boasts authentic acoustic and electric piano sound, realistic piano touch and an intuitive one-to-one user interface.
Sound is the most important part of any musical instrument. The Yamaha CP88 Stage Piano features a wide range of grand piano, upright piano, electric piano and keyboard sounds for playing any music genre. The CP88 also features synth sounds for covering any gig or session. Split, layer or solo warm pads, lush strings, deep synth basses, synth leads, brass and more. The one-to-one CP control interface allows real-time interaction for instant sound creation. With an extensive, integrated effects section for creating your own unique sound, each of the three sections (Piano section, Electric piano section and Sub section) features its own dedicated effects. The CP88's master effects section features delay, reverb and master EQ with dedicated controls for easy, real-time tweaking of your overall sound.
CP88 features an 88-key Natural Wood, Graded Hammer, triple sensor (NW-GH) keyboard with Synthetic Ebony and Ivory Key Tops – the fastest stage piano action on the market designed by a company with over 100 years of acoustic piano-making experience for professionals who demand the best.
Natural Wood keys offer the weight and response that piano players expect. Adding different weight or "grading," the keyboard reproduces the feel of a piano's hammers: heavy in the low end and light in the high end. Synthetic Ebony and Ivory Key Tops are lightly porous which adds grip to the keys. This maintains accuracy during long performances or practice sessions.
Finally, a third sensor allows grand piano-like key repetition where notes can be re-articulated without a complete release. This makes it easier to play fast, repeated notes and is one of the main reasons pianists choose grand pianos over uprights.
From the stage to the studio, the Yamaha CP88 Stage Piano delivers authentic acoustic and electric piano performance no matter the environment.
