Topic: Yamaha CP-80 (or similar) rocking on...

Here a quite nice performance of a real Yamaha CP-80, or similar model, by Jerry Lee Lewis: 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8Cgn5JDEak

    Look how he change the adjustments controls (left side) a bit along the music

    And for curiosity how is real CP-70 (very similar to a CP-80) being assembled: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuN94Lfo...re=related
    It's not so heavy as many ones may think.

    Pianoteq added sound to the 88 keys of CP-80 add-on, while the original have only 73, making it worth for musics which require the full keyboard range of a modern piano.


    This page have several videos of other eletrico-acoustic pianoshttp://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=epservice

There is a very nice informative in this page: http://www.bernhard-doering.de/Synthi-M..._cp80.html

    The controls on left side are bass, middle and trebble adjust.
    Also volume control, and a tremolo control. What about add tremolo in next update? :-)

    Would be very interesting compare Pianoteq CP-80 with a real one, both connected to the same speaker system.

Re: Yamaha CP-80 (or similar) rocking on...

Just a quick note on the above:

CP-70 has 73 keys, CP-80 has 88 (therefore no need to "add extra"),

CP-80M came with MIDI (not sure of specifics)

I did play a CP-70 back in the 80's, also a cute Kawai upright with no soundboard, 2 strings per treble note (as with Yamaha) (not full range keyboard).

Cheers,

Stephen.
