Incredible Sounds. Hands-On Control. Music Without Limits.

Take your music anywhere with the Yamaha CK61 61-Key Stage Keyboard. Designed for performing musicians, creative keyboardists, and anyone who wants professional-quality sounds in a lightweight, portable instrument, the CK61 combines Yamaha's legendary piano, organ, and synthesizer sounds with intuitive controls and incredible versatility.

Whether you're performing on stage, recording in the studio, rehearsing with your band, or creating music at home, the CK61 gives you the sounds, flexibility, and freedom to bring your musical ideas to life.

Professional Piano, Organ, and Synth Sounds

At the heart of the Yamaha CK61 is a powerful sound engine that combines the expressive piano sounds of Yamaha's CP Stage Piano series with the organ and synthesizer capabilities inspired by the YC Stage Keyboard series. With 363 instrument voices, the CK61 puts an incredible variety of sounds at your fingertips.

Experience the rich, expressive character of Yamaha's legendary CFX, S700, and CF3 concert grand pianos, along with authentic electric pianos, vintage organs, strings, brass, synthesizers, and more. From classic rock and jazz to contemporary worship, pop, and electronic music, the CK61 delivers the sounds you need for virtually any musical style.

A dedicated organ section features nine drawbars, five organ types, rotary speaker effects, percussion, and vibrato/chorus controls, allowing you to create everything from soulful gospel organ tones to gritty rock sounds.

Intuitive Controls That Keep You Playing

The CK61 is designed to keep your focus on the music instead of complicated menus. Its hands-on control panel provides immediate access to sound selection, layering, effects, and performance settings, making it easy to shape your sound in real time.

With three independent keyboard parts, you can split, layer, and combine sounds to create your own unique performances. Layer a piano with strings, split the keyboard between bass and organ, or combine synthesizer textures for rich, expressive arrangements.

Dedicated controls for drive, effects, delay, reverb, and master EQ give you the flexibility to customize your sound without interrupting your performance. The Live Set feature allows you to save and instantly recall your favorite sound combinations, making transitions between songs quick and effortless.

Expressive Keyboard Action for Every Performance

The Yamaha CK61 features a 61-key Future System Basic (FSB) keyboard, inspired by Yamaha's renowned FS keyboard action. Designed for expressive performance, the FSB action provides a comfortable, responsive playing experience with increased key travel and carefully balanced resistance.

Whether you're playing fast organ passages, expressive electric piano parts, or dynamic synthesizer leads, the CK61 offers the control and responsiveness needed to bring your performance to life.

Built for Musicians on the Move

Weighing just 12.3 pounds, the CK61 is designed for musicians who need professional performance without the hassle of transporting a heavy keyboard. Its compact design makes it an excellent choice for gigging musicians, traveling performers, and anyone working with limited space.

Unlike many professional stage keyboards, the CK61 features built-in stereo speakers, allowing you to practice, rehearse, or perform without connecting an external amplifier. The keyboard can also operate on eight AA batteries, giving you the freedom to make music almost anywhere.

With Bluetooth Audio connectivity, you can wirelessly stream music from a compatible device through the CK61's speakers, making it easy to practice along with your favorite songs or backing tracks.

Powerful Connectivity for Stage and Studio

The Yamaha CK61 is ready for virtually any performance or recording setup. Its built-in USB Audio/MIDI interface allows you to connect directly to a computer or compatible device for recording, playback, and music production.

Stereo audio inputs let you connect a microphone or another instrument and process the incoming signal with dedicated effects. Standard stereo outputs, MIDI connections, headphone output, and foot pedal inputs provide the flexibility needed for live performances, studio sessions, and home recording.

Whether you're building a professional keyboard rig or simply looking for an inspiring instrument to create music, the CK61 provides the connectivity and versatility to grow with your musical needs.
