Our take on the Yamaha CP88 88-Key Stage Piano with NW-GH Keyboard

The Yamaha CP88 is an 88-key stage piano built around Yamaha's NW-GH graded hammer action with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops, so it feels close to an acoustic grand under the hands. It carries 57 voices split across acoustic pianos, electric pianos and sub sounds, with 128-note polyphony and a one-to-one front panel where each section has its own knobs and switches instead of menus. It suits gigging pianists who want realistic touch and fast live edits without a laptop. Against rivals like the Nord Stage and Roland RD series, it trades the Nord's expandable sound library and organ section for a simpler, piano-first layout and a heavier, more acoustic-like action.

Questions and answers

How does the CP88 differ from the CP73?
The CP88 has 88 keys with the NW-GH graded hammer action; the CP73 is the shorter 73-key version with a different action. Choose the CP88 if you need a full piano range and weighted feel.
Does the CP88 have organ sounds?
No. Its 57 voices cover acoustic pianos, electric pianos and sub sounds, but there is no organ section or drawbars.
Is the keybed weighted?
Yes. It uses Yamaha's NW-GH graded hammer action with synthetic ebony and ivory keytops, graded heavier in the low end and lighter up top.
How much polyphony does it offer?
128 notes maximum, which is enough for sustained pedaling and layered piano parts.
Can I expand the sound set?
The voices are fixed at 57; there is no user sound library like the Nord Stage offers.
What is in the box?
The CP88 itself; check the listing for the included power supply and any pedal or stand, which are not always bundled.
