    Not great even in its day

    Yamaha CP20Published on 12/23/22 at 14:22
    My first electric piano when I started gigging in 1981/82. Had I the money I would have bought a CP80. The CP20 and larger twin CP30 were polyphonic, touch sensitive, and had a sustain pedal, but the similarity to either a piano or Rhodes ended there. Very cheesy electronic sounding, was sort of convincing in a band with several loud guitarists and the audience had been drinking heavily. Distinctive sound but not in a good way; any synth VST could easily reproduce, not that you'd want to. Not even a good tine piano, semi-convincing harpsichord.

(Think "Right place wrong time" by Dr. John.) Replaced with a Helpinstill Roadmaster 88 Mk. II which, happily, was the acoustic sound I looked for, albeit with its own myriad issues; sold the CP20 in 1984 and though I've regretted selling many instruments over the years, this is not one of them.

    I use this keyboard for 6 years
    Two sounds of harpsichord
    2 piano sounds,
    Tremolo with a knob for the speed of this one
    a knob to mix the harpsichord and piano, etc. ..
    super dynamic even more with a sustain pedal,
    function allows to shorten the decay envelope of sound and transform the harpsichord in clavinet, if more output is connected a pedal wah-wah sound comes into its own,
    cot piano, racoordant a flange output closer we get to a vaguely wurlitzer,
    pay 140 francs there 6 years I rediscovered each use

    What I like most is its look and sound with tremolo Piano1
    5 octave keyboard / 4 sounds mixed / tremolo with speed and depth
    Bass / Treble / Volume / Pitch
    Possible adjustment of global decay ...
