Description

  • Yamaha Premium Acoustic Grand Piano

    The CP73 and CP88 models each offer three premium concert grand pianos: the Yamaha CFX, the Yamaha S700 and the Bösendorfer Imperial 290. These grand piano sounds develop their nuanced and dynamic response due to the most careful recording process and an excellent mood. [CFX] With over 17 years of development, the Yamaha CFX is our flagship in the field of 9 'concert grand pianos. The CFX offers radiant highs as well as powerful bass paired with impressive dynamics and the ability to make yourself heard in an orchestra group. [Bösendorfer] The manufacturer Bösendorfer is one of the most unique piano manufacturers in the world and is still committed to both the craft and the Viennese design tradition. The colorful Viennese sound is based on the one hand on the finely tuned and warm-sounding bass as well as its singing highs. The almost 2.90 meter long and 8 octave Imperial 290 is the highlight among the Bösendorfer concert grand pianos. Its extended bass range and the huge soundboard develop a very special resonance behavior in which all frequencies find the right amount of support. [S700] The Yamaha S700, handcrafted by master piano builders, is a special kind of grand piano. On the one hand, it has the skill to assert itself clearly in complex arrangements, but on the other hand, it also has the sensitivity to develop the necessary delicacy and expressiveness in solo passages or smaller setups. The sound of the S700 turned out to be one of the most popular grand piano sounds of the S90ES and S90 stage synthesizers for a reason.

  • Yamaha Upright acoustic piano

    [U1] The U1 is one of the most popular upright pianos in the world. The U1 timbre of the CP73 and CP88 models is based on a selected vintage specimen with a perfectly coordinated character. This characteristic predestines the sound for any style of music that not only requires the right vibe, but also the sound of an authentic upright. [SU7] The SU7 represents Yamaha's flagship acoustic upright piano. This model gets its rich and expansive sound from the concert grand piano hammer mechanism borrowed from the CFX.

  • Electric pianos and keyboards

    [Yamaha CP80] Yamaha introduced its electrically amplified grand piano models CP80 and CP70 in 1978 in order to give musicians a stable grand piano sound that was also able to assert itself live within a band. [78 Rd] The tine-based 78 Rd electric piano has a wide dynamic range, high sound quality and works well with classic effects. A real universal instrument for a wide range of different styles. [75 Rd] The 75 Rd offers a much dirtier E-PIano sound with a good dose of funk, which is why it is perfect for music styles that demand a very special vibe and character. [73 Rd] With its fat and warm vintage sound, the 73 Rd is the ideal electric piano accompaniment for ballads and expressive solo singing. [Wr] The reed-based Wr electric piano offers both modern and vintage vocal colors with large-scale dynamics. Organs, clavi and keyboards: The CP73 and CP88 models also offer a wide range of other keyboard sounds, such as tonewheel and transistor organs, clavi, FM pianos and many more for every conceivable situation.

  • Synthesizers, strings and more

    The CP73 and CP88 models have synthesizer sounds ready for every imaginable live situation. In addition, the two stage pianos offer warm sounding pad sounds, opulent strings, fundamental synth basses, lead and brass sounds as well as many other sounds for split, layer and solo applications. The intuitive user guidance of the CPs also allows comfortable real-time parameter control and interaction for great and spontaneous sound creations.

  • Effects

    The CP73 as well as the CP88 offer an extraordinary range of integrated effects, which underline the unmistakable sound of the instruments and expand them individually. Each of the three integrated sections (piano, electric piano, sub) also offers effects specially tailored to the respective needs. Master effect chains with delay, reverb and EQ as well as special controllers for real-time parameter control are also available.

  • VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) effects

    Virtual Circuitry Modeling simulates the sound and behavior of vintage effects as well as high-end studio signal processors through exact circuit modeling of the originally analog components.

  • CP88: A keyboard specially designed for pianists with a quick response

    The CP88 has an 88-key real wood keyboard with a graduated hammer mechanism, triple sensors (NW-GH) and a surface made of synthetic ivory or real ebony. The currently fastest stage piano keyboard on the market benefits from the expertise of a company with more than 100 years of piano making experience in close cooperation with professionals for whom the best is just good enough. Only real wooden keys offer exactly the right weight and the correct response that pianists expect from a keyboard. If you add different weights to this, you get a graduated keyboard that has the feeling of real piano hammers with a difficult response in the bass and an increasingly lighter one towards the treble. Synthetic ivory and ebony pads with their slightly porous surface also ensure an authentic grip. As a result, this ensures consistently more accurate playing, even during longer concerts or practice phases. The added third sensor allows real repetitive play like on a real grand piano, on which notes can also be played again without stopping the string. Above all, faster playing can be implemented even better with this repetition behavior, which is ultimately one of the reasons why most pianists ultimately always prefer a grand piano over a piano.

Powered by over 100 years of piano craftsmanship and 45 years of synthesizer innovation, the CP73 and CP88 stage pianos boast authentic acoustic and electric piano sound, realistic piano touch and an intuitive one-to-one user interface.
For the gigging keyboardist, CP73 features a newly-designed, 73-key "E-to-E" (like bass and guitar) balanced action for playing a wide variety of keyboard and synth sounds.
CP88 is for the discerning pianist needing fast, accurate touch response. The triple sensor, natural wood keys provide grand piano weight and response while synthetic ebony and ivory Key Tops provide tactile grip during extended playing sessions.

Series Info

GIGS WERE PLAYED.HISTORY WAS MADE.CP SET THE STAGE.

Introducing the new standard in stage pianos - the CP series

In 1976, Yamaha released the first of the CP series stage pianos. These "electric grands" became instant classics with their authentic sound and live performance convenience. Thirty years later, Yamaha celebrates those milestone keyboards by unveiling the latest and greatest in the CP series.

MADE TO BE PLAYED

Like all fine instruments, the CP series keyboards simply beg to be played. Sit down with one, and the instrument becomes an extension of your hands and your musical imagination. The authentic piano voices and rich expressiveness come alive at your touch, and the sound is big enough to blast through a full band onstage - yet nuanced enough to work magic in an intimate club.
EXPRESSIVE POWER

Yamaha's extensive experience in crafting fine acoustic pianos helps us in creating the ultimate digital pianos. Our advanced Graded Hammer Effect (GHE) action gives all keys an authentic resistance that increases from the top register to the lower - just as on an actual acoustic piano. Which means that you can naturally pound out thunderous low notes with your left hand and let the fingers on your right dance and fly with the high notes.
SOUND CHOICE

In crafting the authentic sound of the CP series, we used meticulously recorded stereo samples of top-quality instruments, taken at various playing strengths, and included subtle elements such as String Resonance, Stereo Sustain, and even Key-Off Samples that capture the felt dampers muting the piano strings - providing the most authentic sounding and finely nuanced acoustic piano voices possible.
TAKE CENTER STAGE

Step out front and make your presence known. The CP series has a special Mono Piano sound, complete with a compression effect, designed specifically for live performance. It has the punch and power to stand out, even in full band situations.
