the cord can damage it.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is
not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical
storms.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it
might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to
prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip
over them.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you
are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction
occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect
the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned
off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum
level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make
sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic
components, turn off the power for all components. Before
turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume
levels to minimum.
• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum
levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the
instrument to set the desired listening level.
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the
gaps on the panel. This could cause physical injury to you or
others, damage to the instrument or other property, or
operational failure.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the
instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons,
switches or connectors.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long
period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since
this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any
hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or
destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (display is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum
level.
When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Main Features
Authentic acoustic- and electric-piano sounds of unparalleled quality
Building on our decades of experience in the production of stage pianos, we have meticulously adjusted the sound of
each individual key and realized perfect balance over the full length of the keyboard, creating full-bodied piano tones
ideal for solo performances and authentically rich sounds well suited for playing within an ensemble. Furthermore, by
analyzing and replicating the sound-producing mechanisms of classic electric pianos using cutting-edge technologies,
we have been able to achieve an extremely smooth response in the CP88 and CP73 keyboards.
Weighted hammer-action keyboards
CP series employ a keyboard with a weighted hammer-action design that is virtually indistinguishable from an
acoustic piano. The CP88’s NW-GH (Natural Wood Graded Hammer keyboard with synthetic ebony and ivory
keytops) keyboard reproduce a touch of grand piano by giving all keys an authentic resistance that increases from the
top register to the lower. And the CP73 features a BHS (Balanced Hammer Standard) keyboard with matte black
keytops, perfect for performing as an electric piano as well.
Design embodies high-class appearance and portability
Featuring a stylish, finely crafted aluminum exterior in a light, compact package, the CP88 and CP73 project an
exceptionally professional appearance and provide convenient portability onstage.
User interface provides direct, intuitive control required for live performance
The three Voice sections—Piano, E.Piano and Sub—are indicated clearly on the top panel, giving you all the
controllers you need onstage, allowing you to directly adjust each parameter as you need while you play. The LED
indicator lamps show you the selected Voice, letting you fully concentrate on your performance. Moreover, you can
enhance sounds on-the-fly, adding various effects to suit your performance as you play.
Connect with other devices and expand your performance potential
Comprehensive MIDI controls and powerful Master Keyboard features make it easy to connect and use the
instrument with software synthesizers and external MIDI devices. Moreover, the instrument has a built-in USB
Audio/MIDI interface for convenient recording functions in home and professional studios, as well as onstage
performance power.
