January 10 - Yamaha just released information on the new YC61 Stage Keyboard.
What is the new Yamaha YC-61 Stage Keyboard? It's a drawbar organ, a piano, a synth - yes, it's all of the above. 

It has a proprietary organ engine - VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling - with drawbars that recreate those vintage analog organ sounds (with rotary speaker and natural distortion), that we've come to know and love.

The all new semi-weighted Waterfall keyboard on the YC61 accommodates organ technique and expressive acoustic and electric piano technique too.

The Yamaha YC61 Stage Keyboard gives you authentic keyboard sounds for any type of music. Pianos, synths, pads, organs, it's all there. It's a Swiss army knife for professional players.
