Yamaha CK88 88-Key Stage Keyboard with Weighted GHS Action

The Yamaha CK88 is an 88-key stage keyboard that pairs a weighted Graded Hammer Standard action with piano, electric piano, organ and synth sounds drawn from Yamaha's CP and YC series. Three Parts, nine drawbars and dedicated synth and effect controls are all on the front panel.

With built-in speakers, battery operation, a mic or instrument input and USB audio/MIDI, it suits pianists who gig, rehearse, teach, lead worship or record and want a full-size weighted keyboard that is not tied to a studio.

Key Features

Concert Grand and Vintage Keys in the CK88

Piano voices come from Yamaha's CFX, S700 and CF3 grands and the U1 upright, with Digi Piano sounds alongside. Reed and tine electric pianos, Clavi and 80s DX7-style FM electric pianos cover classic keyboard parts without extra gear.

Organ Section with Nine Drawbars

Based on the Yamaha reface YC, the organ section offers five organ types and nine physical drawbars. Rotary speaker, percussion and vibrato/chorus each have their own controls, so you can shape the organ sound without menus.

88-Key GHS Weighted Action

The CK88 uses Yamaha's Graded Hammer Standard keyboard with matte black keytops. The weighted, graded action gives pianists a familiar feel across the full 88-key range, on stage or at home.

Built-in speakers and battery compartment of the Yamaha CK88

Built-in Speakers and Battery Power

Two 6 W amplifiers drive a pair of switchable 12 × 6 cm speakers, so the CK88 can be heard without an external amp. Eight AA batteries give up to 4.5 hours on rechargeables or 3 hours on alkalines, letting you play away from a power socket.

Part controls on the front panel of the Yamaha CK88

Three Parts and Live Sets

Split, layer and mix up to three Parts directly from the CK88 front panel. Save splits, layers, effects, A/D input settings and LED colour as a Live Set, with 160 Live Set Sounds (80 preset) for quick recall during a performance.

Hands-on Synth Controls and Effects

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the CK88 different from the CK61?

Both share the same 363 voices, three Parts, effects, speakers and connections. The CK88 has 88 weighted GHS keys and weighs 13.1 kg, while the CK61 has 61 FSB keys and weighs 5.6 kg.

Is the CK88 a good choice for pianists?

Yes, if you want a weighted 88-key GHS action plus organ, synth and stage controls in one instrument. Players who mainly need organ and synth parts and want something lighter may prefer the 5.6 kg CK61.
