Yamaha CK61 61-Key Stage Keyboard

Yamaha CK61 61-Key Stage Keyboard is the lighter, organ-action version of the CK for the player who leans on drawbars and synths more than piano, and who carries their own rig up the stairs. Built-in speakers and a battery option mean it plays anywhere. At 410 mm deep it sits on a narrow stand.

61 FSB organ-action keys

The FSB action is unweighted and quick, made for organ glisses, synth leads and fast comping. At 410 mm deep it fits a small stand or a desk, and it draws 11 W from the PA-150B adaptor. The front panel keeps the controls one-to-a-job so you are not scrolling menus between songs.

Three layers, 363 voices, 160 Live Set slots

Piano, electric pianos, strings, brass, a dedicated organ section and synths, drawn from the CP stage piano and YC stage keyboard: 363 voices in total. Split or layer up to three at once with 128-note polyphony. 160 Live Set slots store the combinations, 80 preset and 80 for your own.

Drawbars, reverb and master EQ

A full set of organ drawbars puts the organ sound under your fingers in real time. Three reverb types and a 3-band master EQ finish the sound, with effects on each layer above them. A 6.3 mm stereo headphone jack handles the silent practice.

Speakers and battery power

The built-in speakers and amplifiers mean rehearsals and busking need no extra box, and the optional battery power lets it run where there is no power point. Bluetooth audio input streams backing tracks from a phone. Two foot pedal jacks cover sustain and expression.

A/D input and USB audio and MIDI

Plug a mic or another instrument into the A/D input, run it through the CK61 effects and record it alongside the keyboard over USB. USB to host and USB to device, plus MIDI in and out, handle computers and other gear.
