I own a CP73 but I'm thinking about changing it for the CP88 because of the keyboard action.
I find it extremely difficult to find a store (Belgium/Netherlands) that actually has a CP88 (or YC88) in the showroom. The same for webshops.
Why is this?
Can we expect a better availability soon?
The pandemic has played havoc with availability of product. This is a worldwide situation. Demand is outweighing supply. Eventually, the situation will return to normal. You may want to call your local Yamaha retailer and reserve one — usually stores will call you to notify you when they have stock; they may even take pre-order/deposits (which can hold one for you when they get them in stock again).
