General

When it came out, Yamaha called the CP4 the best stage piano they had ever designed, and that's really saying something considering they've have more than 100 years of craft experience! This electronic musical instrument is easy to use and weighs just 17.5 kilograms, making it a cinch to take with you wherever you need to go. The natural wood keyboard is comprised of 88 wooden keys with synthetic ivory tops and Graded Hammer technology, which ensures a natural piano sound and feel for a sublime and realistic playing experience.

Advanced sound system and effects

An advanced sound system is housed inside the CP4 Stage piano: the Spectral Component Modelling technology (SCM). Physical modelling technology combines with samples of world-renowned Yamaha concert grands (CHX, CHIIIs and S6) and the classic electric pianos (CP80, DX7, Rhodes and Wurlitzer) to create optimal tone generation. Because you probably want to use other sounds in addition to those from pianos, there are a total of 433 different sounds available with the CP4. These aren't just any sounds either, because each instrument has a large number of effects, such as reverb and 9 chorus effects with 46 different presets! More possibilities are available when you adjust the pitch and modulation wheels or the layer and split functions.

Interface and connections

Despite the enormous number of possibilities the Yamaha CP4 offers, it's actually incredibly easy to navigate. This is thanks to the clear and organized arrangement of the buttons and the easy-to-read display. Scroll easily through the menus on the display via the data knob, and set up the most important functions like volume, splits, layers and tone colours in just seconds. In addition to all of these buttons, Yamaha has still managed to find room for an impressive number of connection ports. These include connections for sustain and expression pedals, MIDI connectivity (USB and DIN-5), line-ins, line-outs, a headphone jack and a USB data storage port.

Yamaha CP4 stage piano
Wrote the following about Yamaha CP4 stage piano
Ik heb verschillende digitale piano's uitgeprobeerd zoals de NORD 3, en kan zeggen dat deze cp4 waarschijnlijk wel de beste keuze is voor iemand die vooral op pianospelen zelf gericht is. Aanslag, geluid etc, fantastisch!

Na de Nord piano 3, de Roland RD 2000 beoordeeld te hebben, toch gekozen voor de Yamaha CP 4.
De toetsen van de Nord 3 zijn ( en voelen) als plastic aan en de houten ivoor toetsen van Roland en Yamaha spelen heel wat prettiger. Uiteindelijk toch gekozen voor de Yamaha i.p.v. Roland, omdat de afmetingen (breedte) van de Yamaha geschikter was. Het klavier moest namelijk in een ( design) Vleugelkast gelegd worden.

Voordeel van Bax is dat je de instrumenten gewoon in de showroom kan testen. In dit geval te Rotterdam.
Op de ene dag in de avond besteld en keurig de andere dag in huis, zoals Bax ook beloofd.
Administratieve afhandeling van Bax ook perfect !!

Yamaha CP 4 bevalt goed. Perfecte klanken ( vooral het laag en het hoog) en de bediening is gemakkelijk.
Klasse !

Yamaha maakt altijd prachtige piano's, ik had deze piano bespeeld in de winkels. Vond hem fijn spelen, maar toen ik naar het prijskaartje keek was hij toch iets boven mijn budget :S

Allereerst een compliment voor Bax want vlak voor 22:00 uur besteld en toch de volgende dag in huis.

De C4 ziet er top uit en de toetsen zijn heel erg fijn! Groot voordeel is het lage gewicht maar tegelijkertijd is het een nadeel dat de behuizing niet meer zo robuust als van bijv. mijn huidige piano, de CP 300.
Qua geluid zijn er zeer veel opties op de C4 en de pianosound is erg lekker! Of het geluid 'beter' is dan de CP4 of CP300 durf ik nu nog niet te zeggen maar ga ik deze week vergelijken.

Tot nu toe zeer tevreden over dit vertrouwde vakwerk van Yamaha!
