The YC73 73-Key Organ Stage Keyboard combines authentic organ sounds with modern features ideal for live playing. This full-sized keyboard is packed with nine realistic organ sounds, including tonewheel, transistor, pipe organ voices, as well as piano, synth, and ensemble sounds. With 73 semi-weighted keys, the YC73 provides a balanced playing feel for organ technique and piano-style playing. Powerful features like real-time controls, an intuitive user interface, and advanced connectivity options give you full command over your sound during performance. Whether you're playing jazz, rock, worship, or pop music, the YC73 is a gig-ready keyboard that delivers iconic organ tones and modern sound-shaping tools.

Authentic Tonewheel, Pipe, and Transistor Organ Sounds

The YC73 features Yamaha's acclaimed Virtual Circuitry Modeling technology to capture the nuanced tones of vintage tonewheel, pipe, and transistor organs with stunning realism. Select from tones modeled on the Hammond B3, C3, and M3, as well as pipe and transistor organs. Adjustable overdrive, percussion, key click, and rotary speaker effects provide full sonic control.

Semi-Weighted Keys and Organ Playing Modes

With 73 semi-weighted keys, the YC73 offers balanced playability for organ technique and piano playing. Two organ playing modes—upper and lower—split the keyboard to facilitate bass lines and chords in the left hand and melody in the right. The lower manual mode even provides an adjustable split point.

Advanced Real-Time Controls

Nine assignable sliders, six buttons, and a modulation wheel put expressive control at your fingertips. Assign the drawbars, rotary speed, overdrive, reverb, and other effects to the sliders and buttons. The modulation wheel controls rotary speed or other effects. Save your assignments to two user presets for instant recall during performances.

Intuitive Interface and Connectivity

An easy-to-read LCD display and dedicated buttons make navigating the YC73's features simple. USB to Host and MIDI I/O ports offer connectivity to computers, tablets, and other gear. The YC73 runs on AC power or batteries for portability.
