Yamaha CP33 Description
Yamaha's mid-range 64-note polyphonic piano for stage/studio, launched at the same time as the Yamaha CP300, named after the legendary CP series electric grands launched in the 70s (the CP-70 is still used by some modern bands including Keane & the Edge of U2). The CP33 has a 1/4" jack... hurraaaahh! (yeah I know it's just a small thing but the P140 which it's positioned quite close to doesn't), though no sequencer onboard or speakers on this new model, but with the all important USB connection to flesh out it's usefulness. Has enhanced capabilities as a controller and a new panel lock feature, both useful for live use.
Size: 1312 x 330 x 151 mm; weight: 18kg
