Yamaha YC Series

Following in the footsteps of its predecessors - the YC73 features an premium 73 key keyboard with Balanced Hammer Standard keys, maintaining the same prolific features as the original to deliver a more professional-oritentated instrument that is well-equipped to match the evolving demands of the modern-day stage performer.

Diverse Sound Engines

Boasting an incredibly vast range of premium keyboard sounds, the YC73 is a true virtuoso in versatility - from authentic Yamaha grand/upright pianos to tonewheel organs with rotary speakers, to synthesizers - this stage keyboard has everything you need.. and probably more!

Including three FM organ models and various iconic FM e-piano sounds, the built-in 8-Operator FM engine adds a versatile touch to this already capable keyboard.

Complete with built-in proprietary Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology, analog circuitry is replicated to deliver incredibly authentic simulations of EQ's, compressors and phasers like no other stage keyboard can.

VCM Organ Technology

As well as simulating effects and processors, the powerful VCM technology can be used to replicate the analog circuitry of instruments with incredible accuracy and precision.

Virtually recreated, Yamaha's tonewheel organ sounds incredible and as 'non-static' as the original, thanks to its authentically replicated behaviour and rotary speaker emulation - a truly unique and unrivalled selling point for this line of instruments.

Balanced Hammer Keys

Improving vastly upon its younger sibling, the YC61 - the Yamaha YC73 features a well-balanced and weighted keyboard that simulates the unmistakable action of an electric piano. Delivering an authentical feel to the performer, this premium keyboard makes the YC73 one of Yamaha's most versatile keyboards in the range.

With authenticity at its core, the YC73 stands tall as the obvious choice for any performer who wants to take his craft to the next level.
