Yamaha CP88 88‑Key Digital Stage Piano

Powered by over 100 years of piano craftsmanship and 45 years of synthesizer innovation, the Yamaha CP88 stage pianos boast authentic acoustic and electric piano sound, realistic piano touch and an intuitive one-to-one user interface.

The CP88 sound
At the core of the CP88 is Yamaha’s renowned AWM2 sample-based sound engine powering some of the most beautifully sampled pianos Yamaha has ever recorded. There are three premium concert grand pianos built into the CP88, including the Yamaha CFX, Yamaha S700 and the Bösendorfer Imperial 290. In addition to these exquisite concert grands, the Yamaha CP88 also features popular upright pianos and electric pianos, including the U1, one of the most popular uprights in the world, and the 73 Rd with a warm, vintage tone. You also get a wide range of warm pads, lush strings, deep synth basses, synth leads, brass and more. The CP88 incorporates Yamaha’s VCM (Virtual Circuit Modeling) technology, capable of re-creating the sound and behavior of vintage effects and high-end studio signal processors by modeling the circuits down to the original analog component level. Taking the needs of the modern musician in mind, CP88 is the first CP to feature updatable Yamaha-produced, high-quality sound content, which will include new pianos, keyboards and more.

The CP88 feel
Designed with over 100 years of experience making pianos, the Yamaha CP88 features the fastest stage piano action on the market. This 88-key natural wood, graded hammer, triple sensor (NW-GH) keyboard with synthetic ebony and ivory key tops is perfect for professionals who demand the best. This type of natural weight and response is what discerning pianists expect. The keyboard reproduces the feeling of an acoustic piano’s hammers, lighter on the top end and heavier on the lower keys. The synthetic ebony and ivory keytops are porous and provide a better grip of your fingers for more accurate playing and practicing. 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.

The CP88 design
The one-to-one interface on the CP88 gives you immediate access to all of the piano’s controls. There’s no menu diving or searching through pages of features to find hidden parameters. Everything is right in front of you for total control of your sound during performances on stage or during fast-paced studio sessions. The intuitive CP interface allows fast and easy splits, layers and sound-shaping directly from the front panel. All of the thought-out plans of the CP88 design is aimed at keeping the creativity flowing. The CP88 has all of the modern connections you’ll need for today’s stage or studio environments, including USB MIDI and audio connectivity. It’s also among the lightest and most compact instrument in its class, weighing only 41 pounds.
