The Yamaha CP73 is a stage piano that's built for working keyboard players who don't have time to wrestle with their gear mid-gig, the CP73 packs Yamaha's finest voices — sampled from legendary concert grands, vintage electric pianos, and everything in between — into a road-ready 73-key instrument with a Balanced Hammer action that plays as good at the last song of the night as it did at soundcheck.
Balanced Hammer Action Built for Long Nights
Not all keyboard actions are created equal. Some feel like pressing keys on a calculator; others like pushing through a brick wall. The CP73 lands exactly where a working keyboardist needs it. Its Balanced Hammer action is engineered to feel comfortable across every type of voice — piano, electric piano, synth — so your hands stay fresh through the encore.
73-Key Balanced Hammer Action: Weighted to deliver a natural, expressive response across all voice types, giving piano players the feel they need without leaving organ and synth players out in the cold.
Triple Sensor Key Repetition: A third sensor allows grand piano-like key repetition, so notes can be re-articulated without a full key release — the kind of responsiveness that separates a real performance from just pressing buttons.
Synthetic Ebony and Ivory Key Tops: Natural Wood keys with synthetic ebony and ivory surfaces give you the weight, grip, and tactile response of an acoustic piano — minus the moving company invoice.
Three Sound Sections For Every Gig
The CP73 doesn't do things by halves. Its three dedicated sections — Piano, Electric Piano, and Sub — are each built with real depth, delivering production-quality tones that can hold their own in any live or studio setting.
Piano Section with CFX, Bösendorfer Imperial & More: Voices sampled from two of the most celebrated concert grands on the planet, plus a Yamaha U1 upright and the iconic CP80 electric grand. Selectable damper resonance adds extra realism for solo passages that demand it.
Electric Piano Section with Vintage Tine & Wurly Voices: Three 1970s-era tine piano models ranging from glassy shimmer to gritty bark, plus Wurlitzer and Clav sounds rounded out with stompbox-style effects — touch wah, phaser, and more — that cover everything from Motown to yacht rock without apology.
Sub Section for Layering and Depth: Strings, pads, organs, chromatic percussion, and an excellent rotary speaker simulation for the organ enthusiasts. Synth-like attack and release controls let you sculpt sounds on the fly.
Intuitive Controls Designed for the Real World
A powerful instrument is only useful if you can actually operate it mid-performance without looking like you're defusing a bomb. The CP73's one-to-one control interface keeps everything accessible from the front panel, so you spend less time staring at your keyboard and more time actually playing it.
One-to-One CP Interface: Every parameter has a dedicated control on the front panel — split, layer, and sound-shape in real time without ever needing to open a manual or whisper a prayer.
Integrated Effects Per Section: Each of the three sections features its own dedicated effects chain, plus master delay, reverb, and a three-band EQ with hands-on controls for fast, on-stage adjustments.
Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM): Yamaha's VCM technology recreates vintage effects and studio signal processors at the analog circuit level, delivering warmth and character that digital approximations only dream about.
The Yamaha CP73 Delivers Where It Counts
The CP73 is built for keyboardists who need every voice to deliver on every gig. Its Balanced Hammer action stays comfortable through marathon performances, while three fully realized sound sections cover everything from world-class concert grands to vintage electric pianos and layering voices. The control layout is refreshingly intuitive — no digging through menus mid-set. Compact, road-ready, and backed by over a century of Yamaha acoustic expertise, the CP73 is the kind of instrument that ends the search.
