Yamaha’s CPX Compass mini-jumbo design, introduced in 1998, has fast become a favourite among electro-acoustic players. Slightly smaller and more comfortable to handle than a full-size jumbo but still with a large soundbox and robust sound, these distinctive cutaway instruments are known for their satisfyingly warm low end and clear, ringing highs, and come with various pro-quality pickup systems, including two-way piezo/mic powering.
From the more traditional looks of the CPX5 to the handcrafted finery of the CPX50 and cosmetically themed CPX15s, there’s something in the Compass Series that will fit the bill perfectly for all manner of live and recording applications.
