Tengo un Casio privia px- 330, suena muy bien, pero este piano Yamaha es poesía para los oídos, me gustaría conseguir esta belleza de piano. Saludos desde Argentina.
Its the same. They both have Graded Hammer Effect. The CP33 is lighter and don't have all the bells and whistles. But I play both and according to Yamaha's website they both come with the SAME Graded Hammer Effect. Yamaha has a few different Graded Hammer Actions. Refer to their website and it goes into detail to explain which is best for you.
Yes, the authentic touch and sound is only heard and played on a digital piano or keyboard that Yamaha makes. What a lot of people don't know is Yamaha spends the money to re-create the sound of their $200,000 CF Concert Grand. They also put the time and money in the authentic touch. I play the CP300 every Sunday and if you didn't see the keyboard, you'd think it was their Concert Grand. I would never take anything in place of a Yamaha even if I was paid to. It's a Yamaha for me or none.
There is a headphone jack on the instrument, but no hook to hang headphones on (if that's what you're asking). Feel free to contact me with any other questions. - Dave McCullough Kraft Music Marketing (800)783-3368
Hi Jason, Thanks for your business. It's all about personal preference. Yamaha instruments have great sound quality and are widely used by professional musicians around the world. There are also many other manufactures that make great sounding instruments…Nord, Kurzweil, Korg, and Roland to just name a few. It just comes down to what instrument works the best for you. Thanks for watching! - Dave McCullough Kraft Music Marketing (800)783-3368
If you can, buy a P250; They sound virtually the same, but the 250 can be found from $300-$450. I just bought one for $280 in perfect condition. This does have enhancements, but they are not worth the price deficit.
Hello my church has a cp300 and I can’t figure out how to find the atmosphere sound. I would like to combine both the grand piano 1 sound and the atmosphere.
You can purchase an optional music rest from Yamaha…the "CP REST". We also include this music rest in many of our CP-series BUNDLES. Feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns. - Dave McCullough Kraft Music Marketing (800)783-3368
Is it true that Yamaha's have the best piano tone? I bought earlier this year from your company the Casio WK-7500. Because of it's popularity. It has nice piano patches. And it's affordability and lightweight. Also Yamaha's are widely used on stages. Your honest opinion appreciated please?
Tony: Enjoyed this clip on the Yamaha CP 300. How would this rig sound with the II Ivory Steinway D code? What kind of computer requirements would be needed and would the code automatically override the indigenous CP 300 code? Thanks
can you explain to me what you mean by layering sounds . do you mean I record something on the piano and then play it and play on top on it another sound or both "instruments sounds" will play the same tune ?
It's an awesome stage piano, the action is great, but never like an acoustic piano. Its action is much better than the cp4 and cp40, but the stage piano closest to an acoustic is the kawai mp11
I'm looking for a very good digital piano, mostly for home. I want built in speakers. I want to be able to split the keyboard. Is there a better one than this? Even though it's 71 pounds, it still can be moved on a dolly or in a wheeled case, for the few times that may be desirable. P255?
Hey can anyone help me?! I'm trying to find a CP Piano that "Fits me." I'm trying to decide wether to get the CP-300 or the CP-50, i need help... ASAP lol
I've been playing the cp300 for 9 years now and I'm really happy about it. I haven't played that specific roland before, but I have played a couple of other rolands. I liked the cp300 better every time (maybe because I'm used to playing it). The touch just feels better to me. Also, the keys of the cp300 are weighted. This makes it easier (for me) to switch between keyboards/stage pianos and grand/vertical pianos. Also, I think the cp300 has a lot more sounds and instruments included than the fp90. But in the end, it's my opinion and you'll have to choose for yourself. I recommend reaching out to someone who has both pianos and try them out.
It sounds great but l think given what it does, it's one of the most over-priced keyboards. A Nord of the same price range has great sounds and more. Even other cheaper Yamaha stage pianos and synthesizers sound as good. I don't get why this one costs what it does.
Tony, the salesman who sold me my CP300 told me all I needed was an USB cable to copy or move files I create to my computer. I wasted $80 in cables. I need to move the files of my own (one-handed) arrangements to my PC; then I will send them to my son who will make CDs. By the way, the instruction manual is terrible, in my opinion as a retired tech doc editor and writer. Joe Luciano plays MICHELLE 2012 09 12 especially for The First Lady
For the price, my Yamaha p-35 sounds about the same, only with much better keys. Hinestly, this product cannot comoare to other stage pianos. It doesn't have up to par sounds and most importantly, it's piano sound is just plain stiff and bad. I hate this piano. Honestly my p-35 does a better job, especially when i use it as a midi controller. The cp-300 is not up to par for that price range, and every time I have to play it at school, a little part of me dies. Thank god it has midi, so I can at least get a proper sound, but the keys are still stiff and unpleasent.
+raicho20 hmmm, I used the CP250 at work for 5 years and then we upgraded to the CP300 and I purchased one for home use as well and I have to tell you, the keys are a bit stiff in the beginning but they really do settle in nicely after some playing and for my $$$, this is the best feeling keyboard out there. I used a Roland FP3 for years as well but it never felt as good as the CP300. As for sounds, the presets are pretty darn good. Considering this keyboard was built for the road, I would feel really well covered with the organ and keyboard sounds on board. My only gripe is that it weighs a ton so unless I had some roadies, this would not be my first choice but thankfully it sits in my studio where I play it everyday.
Great reply, I agree with you about the feel. I have a P-250 and it is still my sole keyboard at home, having played it since I was 9 in 2005 (it's not for gigging though, I recently got an MOXF8 for that as it's lighter and more portable/has more tech!). I can't believe anyone would say a P-35 feels or sounds better. Sure, some of the P-250 sounds are a bit cheesy but it's better in every way I have to say!
I had a CP300 for several years. Wonderful keyboard action and wonderful sounds. It was not, however, very portable in that it is extremely heavy.
Despite its being heavy, it's yamaha's best stage piano. It feels so good abd is so much fun to play, very powerful
Wow! Thanks for a GREAT demonstration, Tony! I have the 1990-vintage CLP560 with hollow keys and hollow pedals.
I wish I would’ve never sold my keyboard. This keyboard was so warm and smooth when playing. Best keyboard I ever purchase
Lamar Cooper Me too. I sold mine after several years only to find that I miss the keyboard action, sounds and ease of use 😞
i have one of these and the piano sound and key touch is hard to beat without paying a lot of money
I NEED THIS PIANO!!!

So CP33 and CP300 sound the same yes? Totally identical sound...
Awesome Sound!

Yes, the CP300 features an improved Graded Hammer Effect action. Thanks for watching!

i have one and i love it. it feels as real as a acoustic piano 100%
If you can, buy a P250; They sound virtually the same, but the 250 can be found from $300-$450. I just bought one for $280 in perfect condition. This does have enhancements, but they are not worth the price deficit.
Thank for the interesting advice but what about the action ? a piano is all about the action quality in the end ...
Hello my church has a cp300 and I can’t figure out how to find the atmosphere sound. I would like to combine both the grand piano 1 sound and the atmosphere.
Please respond I need help
sounds good
Love the sounds on there! but does it have preset rhythms as well as the manual drumket?

Thanks
its high on my list-has it got the pre set backing tracks and drum beats that the clavonova range have -i have a 303 ?
very nice,very good,but couldn,t carry it around for gigs, so give it a miss.I don,t have roadies to help.nice sound,great keyboard.
This does not have a place to set sheet music or a sheet music stand does it?
can you explain to me what you mean by layering sounds .
do you mean I record something on the piano and then play it and play on top on it another sound
or both "instruments sounds" will play the same tune ?
Is the key weight natural as an acoustic piano?
yes very much so a very versatil instrument
It's an awesome stage piano, the action is great, but never like an acoustic piano. Its action is much better than the cp4 and cp40, but the stage piano closest to an acoustic is the kawai mp11
sounds good to me
Please tell me the difference between CP300 and CP1,5 or 50... I wanna buy some of these but I can´t decide...
hola, tendras el sonido de este piano para kontak ??? te lo agradeceria... gracias... saludos
HI
Is the action on the cp300 different/better than the action on the cp33?
I'm looking for a very good digital piano, mostly for home. I want built in speakers. I want to be able to split the keyboard. Is there a better one than this? Even though it's 71 pounds, it still can be moved on a dolly or in a wheeled case, for the few times that may be desirable. P255?
How much is a fair used price for this model?
Hi, which stand is Steve using? Thx. Bart
What makes this CP300 different from the CP50?
Hey can anyone help me?! I'm trying to find a CP Piano that "Fits me." I'm trying to decide wether to get the CP-300 or the CP-50, i need help... ASAP lol
The CP300 reproduces SMF files? Thank you.
Hi, I'm looking for a stage piano, 88 weighted keys, 50 or more voices, nice feel and overall sound within the prices of up to 500 euro. Please help.
So much static in sound of this video. Hard get real feel of how good this sounds live
how much?
Yamaha CP300 or Roland RD 700 NX?
Yamaha CP-300 definitely !!
Whats better, the roland fp 90 or the yamaha cp300?
I've been playing the cp300 for 9 years now and I'm really happy about it. I haven't played that specific roland before, but I have played a couple of other rolands. I liked the cp300 better every time (maybe because I'm used to playing it). The touch just feels better to me. Also, the keys of the cp300 are weighted.

What do I need to copy the files of my recordings to my computer? I want to upload to TH-cam.
are you serious??? you're comparing a $450 keyboard to a $2000 professional stage piano... of course cp300 wins!
It sounds great but l think given what it does, it's one of the most over-priced keyboards. A Nord of the same price range has great sounds and more. Even other cheaper Yamaha stage pianos and synthesizers sound as good. I don't get why this one costs what it does.
Because it retailed this in 2006, For some reason they won't drop the price 12 years later lol.

***** The P35 doesn't sound better, but this particular piano just doesn't sound that impressive, that's what I'm trying to say!
raicho20 I'd say the P-250 piano sounds great for its release year (2003) and it feels great but everyone's entitled to their opinion :)
