Yamaha CP-33 Review | Digital Piano Review Guide

digitalpianoreviewguide.com

The Yamaha CP-33 shines as a robust digital stage piano, boasting a realistic piano feel with Yamaha's Graded Hammer Effect. Its sleek design and versatile controls, including modulation and pitch bend, make it a stage-ready powerhouse. It offers a rich palette of 28 tones, though its heavy touch may take some adjustment. Lack of bundled accessories and dual headphone jacks are drawbacks, yet its MIDI capabilities excel, transforming it into a capable master keyboard.

We have a Yamaha CP-33 that we travel with that seems to do well. It has a pretty good grand piano sound on it, and it’s not the most expensive one you can get by any means. Just a standard road piano.

"I've always gravitated toward Yamaha pianos," says Sudol, "and the CP33 is very special. As somebody who only really learned to play quite recently, it's difficult for me to play an electronic keyboard in the first place. In most cases, the sounds aren't authentic enough, and the feel is usually way off. But the weight of the keys on the CP33 is perfect. It feels good, not rubbery or flimsy, and I can really lay onto the sustain pedal--it can take it, and still retain its clarity."

According to NPR, Comando's rig is as follows:

I am obsessed with Yamaha keyboard. I own a Yamaha p80, but I broke the keys off of it too regularly from playing it really hard on tour. For Slingshot Dakota, I play a Yamaha CP 33 Keyboard through an Ibinez Tubescreamer, a Boss Bass overdrive pedal and a delay pedal. I run these to a Morely AB switch, which goes to 3 amps. The distorted keyboard sounds come out of 3 Roland amps: 2 KC550 amps and a Roland Subwoofer.
