The CP88 is Yamaha's flagship 88-key stage piano, built around the AWM2 sample engine and a fully weighted, graded-hammer action. It carries three concert grands (CFX, S700, Bösendorfer Imperial 290), the U1 upright, the 73 Rd electric piano, plus pads, strings, basses and brass. Its one-to-one front panel gives each sound section its own controls instead of menus, which is what separates it from menu-driven rivals. Players rate the keybed and piano voices highly; the main complaints are its weight and the limited onboard editing depth.

Owners and reviewers praise the CP88's keybed and its acoustic and electric piano voices, calling it one of the most playable stage pianos in its class. The one-to-one panel draws consistent approval for live use. Criticism centers on weight and on editing that stops short of a full workstation.
The Yamaha CP88 is an 88-key digital stage piano with acoustic and electric piano sounds. It uses Yamaha's AWM2 sample-based sound engine. Built-in pianos include three concert grands (Yamaha CFX, Yamaha S700 and Bösendorfer Imperial 290), the U1 upright and the 73 Rd electric piano. It also has pads, strings, synth basses, synth leads, brass and other sounds.
The keyboard is an NW-GH (Natural Wood Graded Hammer) action with a triple sensor and synthetic ebony and ivory key tops. The touch is lighter in the high keys and heavier in the low keys, like an acoustic piano's hammers. The third sensor lets notes be re-articulated without a complete release, which helps with fast repeated notes. The key tops are porous for better finger grip.
The one-to-one control interface gives direct access to the controls without menus. Splits, layers and sound-shaping are done from the front panel. VCM (Virtual Circuit Modeling) technology models vintage effects and studio signal processors. The CP88 can receive updatable Yamaha sound content, including new pianos and keyboards.
