Yamaha YC88 88-key Stage Keyboard
The Yamaha YC88 delivers the sound, feel, and control discerning performers demand — blending the soul of vintage combo organs with the realism of acoustic pianos, electric pianos, and an impressive collection of additional instruments. Designed for players who want the expressiveness of a fully weighted hammer-action keybed but also require live versatility, the YC88 keeps you out of menus and in the music.
At its core is Yamaha’s Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology, faithfully recreating analog circuits for astonishingly lifelike organ tones, rotary speaker effects, and vintage warmth. Paired with the Natural Wood Graded Hammer 3 (NW-GH3) action and triple-sensor detection, the YC88 feels like a premium acoustic piano while offering hands-on drawbars, real-time control, and Seamless Sound Switching for patch changes without note cut-off.
Features
- 88-key NW-GH3 triple-sensor hammer action with synthetic ebony & ivory keytops
- VCM organ engine with authentic drawbar control and 2 rotary speaker models
- Powerful sound set: acoustic pianos, electric pianos, FM synths, strings, brass & more

- 9 onboard effects processors including vibrato/chorus, reverb, delay, drive, EQ
- Seamless Sound Switching for smooth live transitions
- USB audio/MIDI interface for DAW integration & computer audio playback/recording
