The CP88 is Yamaha's 88-key stage piano built around the GP Natural 88 graded hammer action and three sampled concert grands: the CFX, the S700 and the Bösendorfer Imperial 290, plus a U1 upright. It adds vintage electric grands and pianos, strings, organs and clavi, with 128-note polyphony and a one-to-one front panel where every section has its own controls, so splits, layers and sound shaping happen without menus. Balanced XLR outputs, USB MIDI and 1/4-inch and headphone jacks make it a plug-in-and-play board for stage or studio. Against rivals like the Nord Stage and Roland RD series it trades the deep programmability and organ modeling of those boards for fast, direct control and strong acoustic piano voices.

Players praise the CP88 for its piano voices and the immediacy of its panel, calling it one of the most playable stage pianos in its class. Some find the electric piano and organ sections less convincing than the acoustics, and note the weight when carrying it to gigs.
The Yamaha CP88 is an 88-key digital stage piano with GP Natural 88 action. It includes three concert grand piano sounds: the Yamaha CFX, the Yamaha S700 and the Bösendorfer Imperial 290. It also has a U1 upright piano, electric pianos, organs, clavi, FM pianos, synth sounds, strings, brass and effects. It is a compact, lightweight keyboard for stage or studio use.
The keyboard is a Natural Wood, Graded Hammer, triple-sensor (NW-GH) design with Synthetic Ebony and Ivory key tops. The keys are heavier in the low end and lighter in the high end, like a piano's hammers. The key tops are lightly porous to add grip. The third sensor allows fast repeated notes to be re-articulated without a complete key release.
A one-to-one front-panel interface controls the sound directly, with no programming or menu-diving. Splits, layers and sound-shaping are done from the panel. The Piano, Electric Piano and Sub sections each have dedicated effects. Delay, reverb and EQ master effects have their own controls. Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) effects recreate vintage effects and studio processors by modeling circuits down to the analog component level.
