The Yamaha CK88 is an 88-key stage piano with weighted, graded GHS action meant to feel like a Yamaha grand. It combines the CP stage piano's acoustic and electric piano sounds with the YC's organ and synth sections, and adds built-in speakers and battery power so it works without a rig. It suits gigging players and home players who want one board for piano, organ and synth without a computer. Against the CP88 and YC88 it gives up some premium action and metal build, but adds speakers and portability the others lack.

Owners treat the CK88 as a practical gigging board: they like the weighted feel, the piano and organ sounds and the built-in speakers, and accept that the action and speakers are a step below Yamaha's higher-end stage pianos.
The Yamaha CK88 is an 88-key stage piano with built-in speakers and a battery power option. It is compact and lightweight. The keyboard uses Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) action, a weighted and graded action that recreates the feel of playing a Yamaha grand piano.
The CK88 combines the sounds of the Yamaha CP Stage Piano with the organ and synth sounds of the YC Stage Keyboard. Piano sounds come from three Yamaha grands, the CFX, S700 and CF3, plus the U1 upright piano from the Yamaha YC Series. It also has electric pianos, strings, brass, "Digi Piano" sounds and analog-style synth pads, leads, basses and bells. A dedicated organ section is based on the Yamaha reface YC mobile mini keyboard. It has five organ types, rotary speaker effect, percussion and an enhanced vibrato/chorus, with nine dedicated drawbars.
Three effects processors (Drive, Effects 1 and Effects 2) are built in. An A/D input lets you plug in a mic or another instrument, apply two dedicated effects, store the result in a LIVE SET and record directly to a laptop. Three parts let you split, layer, mix and process sounds from the front panel. A 1-to-1 control layout and dedicated category buttons give direct access to organ, synth and effects controls without menu diving.
