The CK is a stage piano that’s ready for any situation. Practice rooms, home, busking, open mic nights, big shows. They’re all the same to the CK. Boasting speakers, optional battery power, incredible sounds and effects, as well as comfortable keyboard feel and the convenience of a full set of organ drawbars there’s something here for everyone.
PROFESSIONAL SOUNDS CK combines the sounds of the Yamaha CP Stage Piano with the organ and synth focused YC Stage Keyboard to give you a totally new sonic palette. All with an intuitive interface that lets you focus on the music, not the menus. You’ll have piano, electric pianos, strings and brass plus a dedicated organ section and modern synth sounds. Onboard special effects to make it your own. There’s even Analog to Digital (A/D) Input to plug in a mic or another instrument, apply effects and record directly to your laptop. Not to mention CK has built-in speakers and batteries to take your new sound to new places. The options are nearly endless.
A/D INPUT AND RECORDING Plug in a microphone or instrument to the A/D input on the back of the CK and enjoy expanding your performance capabilities with two dedicated effects just for this channel. CK is also much more than a MIDI interface. Built-in stereo in/out USB Audio Interface lets you record and play back audio to and from CK to your computer or iOS device, including whatever is plugged into the A/D input. It even has USB MIDI and 5-pin DIN In/Out. Perfect for recording MIDI data, controlling softsynths or connecting to Soundmondo.
INCREDIBLE CONTROL The intuitive User Interface lets you dive into the music, not the menu and features dedicated category buttons that make it easy to find the sound you’re looking for. CK features an intuitive, 1 to 1 interface that gives you the freedom to explore your sound. Everything, from dedicated Organ controls to Synth and Effects controls, is designed to keep you making music instead of diving into menus.

as an 89yr old I appreciate the key boards light weight for moving it around. I like the lightness of the keys I don't have to press to hard helps to run my ancient fingers up and down the octaves. As far as I'm able to tell this key board lives up to what yamaha and others say about it.

Problematic key action for an otherwise good keyboard
I have only had this keyboard for a very short time, with very little opportunity so far to explore it in detail, so these are only my initial impressions. The sounds so far are great, and the built-in speakers are better than I expected – noticeably better sound quality than what we would find on 61 key beginner keyboards like the cheaper models in Yamaha’s PSR series. My big disappointment was finding out that the keys on the CK61 are not full size. One YouTube review (by “Piano Tone”) pointed out that the “full size” octave width on a typical 88 key digital piano is about 164-165 mm, whereas it is only 159-160 mm on many synth action keyboards, including the CK61. I was very puzzled as to why manufacturers would do this, because this will only make it more difficult for most people to play if they are used to playing a full size key action. When I switched back and forth between a Yamaha CP88 and the CK61, it was noticeably more difficult to play easily and freely on the CK61. I may get used to the smaller keyboard in time, but, at the moment, I am wondering if I will need to attach a full size MIDI keyboard to the CK61 and play it that way, in order to not feel restricted by the noticeable difference in octave width. That is the only reason why I did not give the CK61 a higher rating. Apart from that, it looks and sounds every bit as good as what we see on most YouTube reviews.

Great keyboard, so versatile and
Great keyboard, so versatile and built for the stage.
Killer effects that you can put on the input for mic, guitars etc.
The average rating is for the lack of power adapter when the manual clearly says it is supposed to come with one :shrug::skin-tone-5::male_sign:
