The Yamaha CP33 Digital Stage Piano is the entry digital piano in Yamaha's professional stage piano lineup. This is basically the same piano as the Yamaha CP300 but about 00 cheaper. The CP33 is a large step up from the P-series units in both sound and feel.
This piano is perfect for a professional gigging musician or an amateur that wants a serious digital piano. Let me cut to the chase - the sound is vibrant, sparking and authentic. You can actually hear harmonic overtones and felt dampers when using the pedal. I had the privilege of finding one for sale at my local music store (these pianos are hard to find) and the sound was so sweet and inspiring I had to drag myself away from the keyboard.
Not only does a piano have to have a magical sound that will inspire you to keep playing it also needs to be responsive to your fingers. Well let me tell you, the CP33 feels great. This piano has impressive keyboard action that really lets you express yourself thanks to their advanced Graded Hammer Effect technology that gradually increases the resistance of the keys as you hit the lower notes. As a serious musician realistic piano action is very important to me and the Yamaha CP33 gets top marks here.
All in all, the Yamaha CP33 stage piano is a very balanced digital piano suitable for the professional musician. Sure there are many fine digital pianos out there that cost less but if you can afford it, it's truly worth the few extra hundred bucks -- you'll thank me in the long run.
The CP33 is one classy digital piano for the serious pro musician and the amateur alike. This keyboard is an investment that you'll never regret.
