CP88
$2,499.99 current U.S. street reference- Best fit

Stage 4 88
$5,999 current U.S. street price- Best fit
- Premium all-section stage keyboard
- Tradeoff
- Its immediate panel and sound libraries justify the price only when piano, organ and synth sections all serve the show, and it remains a 43-pound instrument before its case

Owner experience
What repeats after the purchase
Owner discussion repeatedly returns to weighted organ technique, drawbar workflow and rotary control rather than specifications alone.
These are self-reported experiences from a changing mix of owners, conditions and software versions. They identify questions to test, not a failure rate.SignalWhat owners reportOur readEvidence
weighted organ technique, drawbar workflow and rotary control
Players repeatedly discuss action preference, mono piano behavior, program changes, pedal compatibility, library management, cased weight, power supplies and reliability during live work.
Play organ glissando and repeated notes as well as piano before accepting the one-action compromise.
