Yamaha CP50 Stage Piano

The Yamaha CP50 Stage Piano is one of a completely redesigned lineup of CP Series Stage Pianos, which let keyboard players fully express their passion for playing. Yamaha has a history of creating epoch-making stage pianos that have revolutionized the way professional keyboardists play, including the launch of the CP70 and CP80 in the 1970's, and the DX7 in the 1980's. With the CP50, Yamaha has again redefined the expectations of what the ultimate stage piano should be.

"Our new Spectral Component Modeling process in the CP lineup reproduces the sound and expressiveness of acoustic and vintage electronic pianos better than any technology has ever done," said Athan Billias, Director of Marketing for Yamaha's Pro Audio and Combo Division. "For professional players on stage, the new CP series sets a new standard and we invite anyone to compare these against any other stage piano on the market, regardless of price."

The Spectrum Component Modeling system replicates the instrument's physical components for ultra-realistic tone generation, including the hardness of the hammers, resonance of the sound board and the striking position of the hammers. It also relies on granular parametric data that translates every nuance of the player's touch into an expressive tone. CP50 models also use Virtual Circuit Modeling to replicate the effect units, amplifiers, compressors, EQ and other equipment that were so essential in creating many of those legendary vintage sounds.
