Review: Yamaha CP33 Stage Piano

Yamaha CP33 Stage Piano DigitialPianosReviewed Review: Yamaha CP33 Stage PianoThe Yamaha CP33 Digital Stage Piano is the entry digital piano in their professional stage pianos lineup. This is basically the same piano as the Yamaha CP300 but about $1000 cheaper. The CP33 is a large step up from the P-series units in both sound and feel.
