A Modern Heir to the Legendary CP Series
Designed for stage keyboardists, the CP88 continues the spirit of Yamaha's "CP" pianos by combining robustness, immediate playability, and premium sound palette. Its streamlined construction and direct-access interface make it a reliable companion for both touring and studio work.Keyboard Design
The 88-key NW-GH3 uses progressive weighting to replicate the feel of a grand piano: heavier on the left, lighter on the right. The triple sensor allows rapid repetition without fully releasing the key, ideal for runs and trills. The synthetic "ivory" and "ebony" surfaces, slightly porous, enhance grip and precision during long sessions.Sound Quality
Powered by AWM2, the CP88 offers a selection of six iconic grand pianos (CFX, S700, CF3, C7, C3, Bösendorfer Imperial 290) meticulously sampled and tuned. Their wide dynamic range, from bright highs to deep lows, integrates perfectly into the mix. With 106 sounds, a 128-voice polyphony, and ready-to-use Live Sets, you can shape your textures instantly.Built-in Effects
- 23 editable insert effects to sculpt piano, E.Piano, and Sub sounds.
- 2 independent delays for space and movement.
- Studio-quality reverb.
- 3-band EQ for quick on-stage adjustments.

My feeling: great keyboard!!!
The +:
The sounds of acoustic and electric pianos are warm and close to the originals.
The other sounds even if they are not numerous.
The quality of the effects.
Combinations between sounds.
Good, quiet and pleasant touch although I would have preferred a little lighter like Kawai CN21.
Quick to understand and use.
Not too heavy.
The least:
The pitch and modulation sticks are not really practical to use together, I would have preferred even small wheels.
The desk is missing.
Come on, the price!
We will see in time and practice but for now I love it!!!Automatically translated

Thanks to the latest upgrade system, this keyboard has the most interesting piano sound (CFX2) that I have ever heard on a digital keyboard. Coupled with a touch of irreproachable quality, it becomes an instrument of pleasure that allows you to regain the desire to play it, as on a good acoustic piano that is well tuned. In addition, it can be carried on stage. What more can I say...?
