Thanks for the video. I have pretty much decided on the CK88 and have been trying one at my local music store. As a bassist/guitarist, this seems to be a perfect entry to the world of keys... first goal is learning to play and that will be followed by learning to create different sounds.

Thank you for this in depth explanation. It has to be an amazing instrument. With such a hands on feature set in the 21 first century. Well done Yamaha. Thank you Alamo...

Thanks for the presentation. I’m excited to get my hands on a CK 88 in person but I’m still looking for a knowledgeable comparison between the CK and the YC…

Enjoyed hearing (again) about all the Piano/Organ possibilities. However, I'm interested in the "orchestral instruments", violin and strings, horns (French) trumpets, trombones, tuba, time, mallets, toys, etc. I've been unable to find a list of all of the sounds of these two keyboards. Does anyone know it such a list exists? Any info would be helpful. I'm also considering the Kurzweil SP7 Grand, about $700 more, but with more versatility in changing patches. Thank in advance...

I'm between a YC61 and a CK61. Would not mind spending the extra money if there is "more return" on the YC, e.g. regarding the keybed action, the sounds themselves, etc. The organ sim is different, do not know if they "cut down" the sample complexity for the pianos on the CK, the YC has a true FM synthesis - not DX-Sample-based-E-Pianos - but I wonder if you really hear and feel a $1.000 difference. I own the Reface CP since its launch and loved the Wurly and CP sound, but the "lifetime on battery" was disappointing ("eating up" Duracells like nothing) and along the years, some black keys have stopped working. Worried that this might happen to the CK61 as well...

I’ve owned the yc61 and I think the sounds are better in it. Especially the Leslie. But the ck operation is much better. You can run any 3 sounds you want at one time. The yc forces you to use the organ as a third sound if you want 3. It can be confusing at times what you’re adding effects to as you have to pay attention to which panel a or b you are on. The ck with its color changes makes that much easier at a quick glance. I think the keys on the ck might be better. The waterfall keys on the yc are fine but the organ does not trigger at the top like a real Hammond. I do love the c7 piano sample that’s in the yc. It’s the best piano sound that Yamaha currently makes in my opinion. Especially for live use. It is currently not in the ck. But you can play any sound you want through usb audio on the ck and there are some really really good piano sounds that you can play from an iPhone these days. I’d say the $1k price difference is not worth it on the yc. Maybe if you found a killer deal on a used one.

Regrettably you did not talk about the difference in the keyboards between the 61 and the 88. The 61 is GHS while the 88 is GHB. They feel different and so you really need to p[lay them to determine which you prefer.

I love the CK-88, but I am trying to figure our WHERE TO STORE THE MUSIC REST! it is w6" long and the $449 case will NOT hold it! HOW am I supposed to read music on a gig - this piece of plastic cost $99 and there is NO CASE ON THE MARKET that has a pocket large enough to carry it. Great keyboard, terrible aftermarket.

I love my CK61.. this would have been "more perfect" if it's rechargeable instead of batteries. Just a thought. Yamaha, if you're reading this, it's my idea. Lol.

Rechargeable batteries? :D But yeah, I know what you mean. Lithium ion would be good - although I guess you have the choice to keep the weight down if you can remove it.

@@66guidos i mean the keyboard itself is rechargeable. Just like the new PA systems like Bose s1 pro.
