STAGE PIANO

Yamaha has a history of epoch-making stage pianos that revolutionized the way professional keyboardists
play. In the 70s, it was the original CP70 and 80, when — for the first time — players could get true
acoustic piano sounds in a portable package for the stage. In the 80s it was the DX7, renowned for its
expressive electronic piano sounds and dynamic response. With the new CP series, Yamaha has once again
completely re-defined professional players’ expectations of what the ultimate stage piano should be.

The development of the new CP series started with the no-compromise CP1. This is a premium instrument with a commitment to both
tradition and innovation. The core sound technology inside the new CP Series was completely re-designed from the ground up.
A unique new Spectral Component Modeling tone generation system recreates the sound of acoustic and vintage electronic pianos
more faithfully than anything else has ever done. This new technology responds to the player's touch allowing more creative expression
than ever before possible. Yamaha even developed a special NW-STAGE wooden key action specifically to meet the demands of top
pros. Simply put, this combination of touch and tone make the CP1 the most expressive stage piano that has ever been created.

timeless instrument with lasting value. The classic wooden side panels and the vintage textured top call
up memories of legendary keyboards of the past. The brilliant vacuum florescent display, brushed
aluminum volume knob and lighted Yamaha logo reflect the state-of-the-art, cutting edge technology
under the hood. The knobs, switches and intuitive user interface are all laid out for optimum ease of use
in performance. All these design elements come together to make a stunning visual statement on stage.
