Yamaha CK61 61-Key Stage Keyboard with Organ Drawbars and Built-in Speakers

The Yamaha CK61 is a 61-key stage keyboard that brings together 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 sit on the panel, and at 5.6 kg with built-in speakers and battery power it travels easily.

It suits keyboard players in bands, church and worship musicians, students and home producers who want hands-on sounds, a mic or instrument input and USB audio/MIDI in one compact instrument.

Key Features

Concert Grand and Vintage Keys in the CK61

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.

61-Key FSB Action

The CK61 uses Yamaha's FSB keyboard with initial touch. It has heavier initial key resistance and longer key travel than typical synth keys, which suits organ, synth and piano playing on a compact instrument.

Built-in Speakers and Battery Power

Two 6 W amplifiers drive a pair of switchable 12 × 6 cm speakers, so the CK61 can be heard without an external amp. Eight AA batteries give up to 4.5 hours on rechargeables, and at 5.6 kg it pairs well with the optional SC-DE61 soft case.

Three Parts and Live Sets

Split, layer and mix up to three Parts directly from the CK61 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.
