Models in series

  • Yamaha CP-80

    The Yamaha CP-80 is an electric grand piano, the full 88-key counterpart to the CP-70. Like the CP-70 it amplifies real struck strings with piezoelectric pickups in a portable split case, and it saw heavy stage use through the late 1970s and 1980s.

  • Yamaha CP88

    The Yamaha CP88 is a digital stage piano introduced in 2019, with 88 weighted keys and sampled acoustic, electric-piano, and synth voices. It carries the CP name into Yamaha's modern stage-piano line, emphasizing fast hands-on sound selection for live performance.

  • Yamaha CP-70

    The Yamaha CP-70 is an electric grand piano introduced in 1976, sounding real hammered strings amplified by piezoelectric pickups rather than samples. Its two-piece, road-portable case made a grand-piano voice practical on stage, and it became a fixture of late-1970s and 1980s rock and pop.
