Yamaha CP88 88-Note Stage Piano

The Yamaha CP88 stage piano features enhanced portability, ease of use, and state-of-the-art sound quality. "CP" stands for Combo Piano, and the CP lineage dates back to 1976 when Yamaha first electrified the sound of an acoustic grand piano. Today, Yamaha's advanced technology sets the mark for digital pianos in an instrument that incorporates the company's century-plus of piano craftsmanship and over four decades of synthesizer innovation. The CP88 puts it all together, with authentic acoustic and electric piano sounds, responsive piano touch, and an intuitive easy to navigate user interface.

CP88: Fast, responsive keyboard action designed for piano players

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.

Yamaha Premium Acoustic Grand Pianos

CP73 and 88 feature three premium concert grand pianos: the Yamaha CFX, Yamaha S700 and the Bösendorfer Imperial 290. These pianos provide full dynamic expression and nuance through meticulous recording and voicing.

[ CFX ] With over 17 years of development, the Yamaha CFX is our flagship 9' concert grand piano. The CFX offers sparkling highs, powerful bass with incredible dynamic range and the strength to project over a full symphony orchestra.

[ Bösendorfer ] Bösendorfer is unique amongst piano makers as the only manufacturer in the world still utilizing the Viennese handcrafted design tradition. This produces warm bass, singing treble and rich tonal colors known as the "Viennese Sound." The 9.5' 8-octave Imperial 290 is the flagship of Bösendorfer grand piano. The extended bass notes resonate with every key you strike, and the massive soundboard supports projection at all frequencies.

[ S700 ] The S700 is a handcrafted acoustic grand piano built by Yamaha master artisans. It has the power to cut through dense arrangements while remaining delicate and expressive in solo and sparse settings. The S700 was one of the most popular grand piano Voices from the S90ES and S90 stage synthesizer.
