YC88 Natural Wood Grade Hammer 3 (NW-GH3) Keyboard Model

The YC88, equipped with the 88-key NW-GH3 keyboard (white keys: ivory-like finish / black keys: ebony-like finish), is a model that supports the dynamic and delicate performance expression of pianists. The keys, made of solid natural wood like acoustic pianos, create a natural weight and touch, and the hammer action mechanism, which is heavy in the low range and lighter in the high range, reproduces the original mechanism of a grand piano. Yamaha's unique drip sensor allows for high-speed repeated hitting of the same note without sound breaks, just like a grand piano.

High versatility as a stage keyboard that YC is proud of.

It is packed into the sound engine of the YC61/YC73/YC88 as a "premium keyboard sound" with unprecedented possibilities, from traditional Yamaha grand pianos to upright pianos, electric pianos and keyboards, tonewheel organs with rotary speakers, synthesizers, and acoustic instruments. Yamaha's unique VCM technology faithfully reproduces vintage analog EQ, compressor, and phaser circuits, even down to the behavior of transistors and resistors, using modeling technology. It brings to life the authentic sound of that era with delicate musical expressiveness that cannot be reproduced by simple digital simulation. Detailed information
