Product Description

Like all fine instruments, the CP 300 simply begs to be played. Sit down with one, and the instrument becomes an extension of your hands and your musical imagination. The authentic piano voices and rich expressiveness come alive at your touch, and the sound is big enough to blast through a full band onstage - yet nuanced enough to work magic in an intimate club. Yamaha's extensive experience in crafting fine acoustic pianos helps us in creating the ultimate digital pianos. Our advanced Graded Hammer Effect (GHE) action gives all keys an authentic resistance that increases from the top register to the lower - just as on an actual acoustic piano. Which means that you can naturally pound out thunderous low notes with your left hand and let the fingers on your right dance and fly with the high notes. In crafting the authentic sound of the CP series, we used meticulously recorded stereo samples of top-quality instruments, taken at various playing strengths, and included subtle elements such as String Resonance, Stereo Sustain, and even Key-Off Samples that capture the felt dampers muting the piano strings - providing the most authentic sounding and finely nuanced acoustic piano voices possible. The CP stage pianos are also master keyboard controllers that give you full command of your gear. Play and control external tone generators. Assign different voices to different keyboard sections and create multi-textured layers of sound. Four instrument Zones on the CP300 with panel sliders, let you easily tweak the level of each instrument as you play. You can also freely reassign the sliders and wheels to control other sonic characteristics of your gear, such as sound attack, decay, brightness and filter cutoff. The CP300 features professional quality balanced XLR output connectors. These give you the cleanest, clearest noise-free signal - both for serious recording in the studio, and playing onstage where long unbalanced cables may compromise your sound.

4.0 out of 5 stars More than I expected, August 25, 2008

This review is from: Yamaha CP300 Stage Piano (Electronics)

Good piano sound, plays like a real piano, has good choir sound, the string sounds could be better, especially when blending with the piano. And then there are all the MIDI sounds that I didn't realize came with it, and I still haven't gotten to the bottom of all the features.

I like the way the often-used functions are laid out as buttons, that is a good design and a good implementation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sold my Young Chang grand to buy this..., November 29, 2011

This review is from: Yamaha CP300 Stage Piano (Electronics)

After moving my Young Chang grand piano a couple of time, I started to explore digital pianos as an alternative as technology had improved remarkably over the years. I played a plethora of various makes and models and the Yamaha CP300 was the only one that had similiar dampened key action to a grand piano. The sound is very good and much better than your typical digital piano which many are just unacceptable. Also don't have to pay for tuning twice a year. The kids also are more likely to play with the Yamaha over a grand because it is cooler for them and they can mess with the alternative instrument sounds. They recently got garage band so they will be playing with it more to create their own music. I have had this unit for 3 years and am glad I went this way.
