And now they are comparing it to the Electro which is definitely not a very similar, older instrument.

https://www.norduserforum.com/general-synthesizers-keyboards-forum-f6/new-yamaha-yc-61-vs-nord-electro-t18900.html It is discussed in this thread. It will certainly attract many electro users as it features both physical and led deawbars witch is very smart. It also has more advanced synth engine than electro and that's another plus. It is more expensive though and that's a minus. However it is cheaper than a stage, but it can not reach it's capabilities by any means. So, it is a good choice for someone who needs more than an electro can offer but can not afford a stage.

Yep, i could have posted it there, whoops. Just thought I would share this. It shows quite clearly the differences in organ sound.

I'd be surprised if Yamaha called it a re-invention of the stage piano. For them, that's more CP88/CP73 territory.

Depends where you are. In the U.S., the YC61 is about 10% cheaper than the Electro.

Here in Greece the yc61 costs 1999 euros while an electro 6 d 61 costs 1690. The stage is over 3000.

I could be wrong but I think I remember that that was exactly what they said in some promo video.

It is actually reinventing the Stage Keyboard:
