The CP300 draws Yamaha's rich tradition and experience in electronic keyboard manufacturing, and gives the live performer all the sound and expressiveness of a grand piano with the portability and versatility of a modern digital keyboard. The Yamaha CP300 is a professional 88-note, weighted action portable stage piano with enhanced performance and MIDI controller features that are equally at home on the stage or in the studio.

The Yamaha CP300 represents the rebirth of the legendary CP series, which served as the professional musicians' stage piano of choice. With Yamaha's trademark emphasis on touch and tone, you can tell they're made by people who know what a piano is supposed to feel and sound like. Yamaha is the only significant digital piano keyboard manufacturer that also makes acoustic pianos.

The flagship CP300 digital piano, which replaces the P250, features Yamaha's signature Graded Hammer Effect action and 3-level, stereo-sampled grand piano voices with String Resonance (offering harmonic overtones). It also has Stereo Sustain (simulating open strings while pedaling) and Key-Off Samples (providing recordings of felt dampers coming to rest on vibrating piano strings), which combine to provide the most authentic-sounding and finely nuanced acoustic piano voices available.

Two built-in 30 Watt stereo monitor speakers preclude the need for external amplification. During live performances, the speakers serve as built-in monitors; they also create vibrations throughout the cabinet that players can feel, bringing the playing experience one step closer to that of an acoustic piano. Balanced XLR outputs provide a crisp, clear, noise-free audio signal onstage or in the studio.
