From Concert Grands to Vintage Uprights

Every Piano Sound You Need for Any Gig

You never know what the setlist will demand. Jazz trio needs a warm upright? Rock set wants a bright grand? Soul ballad calls for vintage Rhodes? The CP88 has you covered. Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial grands for classical. U1 and SU7 uprights for intimate pieces. Plus authentic electric pianos and synths.

Complete Sound Library in One Keyboard

Layer Strings and Pads Without Carrying Extra Gear

Tired of hauling multiple keyboards to get the sounds you need? The CP88 puts warm pads, rich strings, deep bass, dynamic leads, and powerful brass right under your fingers. Split the keyboard to play bass with your left hand and piano with your right. Layer strings under your piano sound for ballads. All controllable from the front panel—no laptop, no menu diving, no external modules.

Studio-Quality Effects Built In

Dial In Your Sound Without Bringing Effects Pedals

Stop carrying a pedalboard to every gig. The CP88 has dedicated effects for each section—Piano, E.Piano, and Sub—plus master delay, reverb, and EQ. Tweak them instantly with physical knobs during your performance. Add warm tremolo to your Rhodes. Dial in spring reverb for surf rock. Adjust chorus depth between songs. Virtual Circuitry Modeling recreates vintage studio processors at the component level, giving you tones that pedals cost thousands to replicate.

Natural Wood Action from 130 Years of Piano Making

Keys That Feel Like Your Home Grand Piano

Your technique took years to develop on acoustic pianos. Why compromise on stage? The CP88 uses the same Natural Wood Graded Hammer action found in Yamaha acoustic grands. Triple sensors catch every nuance—from whisper-soft pianissimo to thundering fortissimo. Synthetic ebony and ivory key tops give you the grip and control you are used to. Fast repetition for trills and runs. Weighted keys that build proper technique. It feels like the instrument you practice on, so you can perform with confidence.

The Only Piano You Need

One Keyboard for Practice, Studio, and Stage

Most musicians own multiple keyboards—one for home practice, another for recording, something lighter for small gigs, something better-sounding for important shows. The CP88 does it all. Practice at home with headphones. Record directly to your DAW via USB audio. Play intimate coffeehouse sets. Command festival stages. The same professional sound and feel everywhere. Spend money on one great instrument instead of three mediocre ones.

Every Control Right Where You Need It

Change Your Sound Mid-Song Without Looking Down

You are watching the bandleader, reading the audience, following the chart—no time to hunt through menus. The CP88 puts every essential function on the front panel with dedicated physical controls. One button per sound section. Knobs for effects. Sliders for volume balance. Set up splits and layers instantly. Adjust EQ between songs. Your hands know where everything is, so your eyes can stay on what matters. Because you have a show to run, not a computer to program.

MIDI and Audio Over One Cable

Plug In and Play—USB Handles Everything

Forget the audio interface and MIDI cables. One USB cable connects the CP88 to your computer for both MIDI and audio. Record your performance directly into your DAW. Use the CP88 as your main studio controller. Update sounds and firmware without extra hardware. Less cable spaghetti means faster setup and fewer things to forget at home. Spend soundcheck time actually checking sound, not troubleshooting connections.

41 Pounds for 88 Keys of Pro Sound

Load In Faster Than the Rest of the Band

Most 88-key stage pianos with this level of action and sound quality weigh 50-60 pounds. The CP88 weighs just 41 pounds—light enough to carry up stairs solo, haul to multiple gigs per day, or load in your car without rearranging everything else. You get Natural Wood keys, comprehensive sounds, and studio effects in a package that does not wreck your back. When you play five nights a week, every pound matters.
