CP4 Stage and CP40 Stage: The Best Stage Pianos from Yamaha

Paying unparalleled attention to nuance and detail, from the sounds to the styling to the intuitive interface, the CP4 Stage will make keyboard players sound their best no matter what style of music they play.
Yamaha CP4 Stage
The CP4 Stage features a selection of 45 voices from Yamaha’s Premium handcrafted grand pianos, including the CFX, CFIIIS and S6, 47 vintage electric pianos with Virtual Circuit Modeling effects and a wide variety of 321 sounds based on the flagship MOTIF synthesizer. These sounds have been matched with an 88-note Natural Wood Graded Hammer action to provide the ultimate piano touch and response.
"I love this instrument because it has the best piano sound I’ve ever heard," said Chuck Leavell, renowned keyboard player for The Rolling Stones, the Allman Brothers and many other music stars. "But there are certainly other attractive features that you have in the instrument. It gets great tine sounds, great reed sounds, it has strings and fantastic acoustic bass so it’s a very versatile instrument in such an incredibly small package."
Yamaha also released the CP40 Stage, which offers a selection of grand piano sounds based on the Yamaha CFIIIS, one of the Premium Collection grand pianos.

"These new stage pianos meet the needs of even the most demanding professional keyboard player."
