Yamaha Keyboard Instruments Overview
Yamaha Official Source
Quick Summary
Yamaha’s keyboard instruments include arranger workstations, portable keyboards, digital pianos, stage keyboards and synthesizers.
One catalogue, many kinds of keyboard
Yamaha’s keyboard range is organised into clear families, and the company’s keyboard overview page is a good map of it. At the top sit the Digital and Arranger Workstations — instruments such as the Genos2 and PSR-SX920 that play full backing arrangements from a single keyboard. Portable Keyboards cover the lighter, everyday instruments, many of which work with the Yamaha Education Suite learning tools.
Stage Keyboards are built for live players: the YC series for organ and keyboard sounds and the CP series for piano. The overview also lists Piaggero portable pianos, the Sonogenic keytar, Celesta and Keyboard Glockenspiel, plus Apps & Accessories that connect keyboards to phones and tablets.
