The electro-acoustic piano years 70-80 par excellence. 8 in all of 1975 MODELS 1985: CP70/80, the CP70B/80B (with XLR outputs), the CP70D/80D (with a graphic equalizer) and CP70M/80M (identical to D MODELS with a MIDI keyboard to contrller 2 channel thanks to a system that split). The CP70 has a keyboard 73 ratings, while his great ERRF the CP80 has a keyboard of 88 notes. Since MODEL B, the CP70 has two outputs and two XLR jack on the left ct (jacks that come with the piano, Yamaha thank you !!!). Ct on the right are taken for food (a cannon plug 2-pin) and switch. On the front panel (CP70B/80B), there is an insert effect to add a chorus or reverb for example. By a string in the bass notes and two strings per note. A micro piezo under each note, arranged on the frame. A report also trmolo Intgr which in the ballads, is the most beautiful effect!

What about the touch, except that he is exceptional. So it's a real piano touch is that of a piano 1 / 4 tail. It is quite right dr same, but combined with the sound of the instrument, it allows a large trs expression and provides standards for gaming sensations However, it should spend some time on it to find her. Must rgler qualisation of the Manir what the sound is homogne. I use a rglage like this: I cut the bass (potentiomtre of 4), and I boost the mids and treble (potentiomtres of 6). The CP70/80 is easy to use. The models of D and M, the qualiseur can be active or bypass which allows even more flexibility on the sound. The models of M, we can bypass the MIDI transmission and change the split point. The manuals for MODELS B, D and M are still tlchargeables in PDF format on the website of US Yamaha.
Some inconvnients however: first weight (62 kgs for the keyboard part, 68 Kgs for the tail). It is better to have friends or truck dmnageurs vicinity of the machine! Other inconvnient the age of bte. These pianos trs age well but no longer find replacement spices. Yamaha stopped production since 1997. For strings, this is for strings of traditional stringed piano Yamaha grand. For cons, the other strings are specially (matriau diffrent) but in case of breakage of strings, just go see a spinner piano strings for him to redo the same or Contact Mapes the socity (manufacturer of strings) grace their site: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mapeswire.com/." target="_blank">http://www.mapeswire.com/.</a> Beware also the diet that, by its connection specially trs, is difficult to replace today. There is a mthode to replace on this site: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.oceanbeach.com/ches/daves_gear/cp70ps.html" target="_blank">http://www.oceanbeach.com/ches/daves_gear/cp70ps.html</a>
The beast is difficult given, especially in the bass. This is of its architecture. As the frame is small, it is about strong deformation of the tension of the strings. As these pianos are prvus for scne Originally, they are subject to dplacements. However, I noticed that the agreement did not move as a APRS transport. Care must be transported and handled with prcautions. It is convenient to have a cl agree and corners in order to alter the agreement if necessary.

The sound is unique. To see this, just listen to the ballads of Phil Collins (Long Way to Go, Groovy Kind of Love). Main users: George Duke, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Herbie Hancock, John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) Michael McDonald (Doobie Brothers), Art Mengo ("Live at the Mandala").
I am a jazz pianist and I was afraid to beginners to use the CP70 in the quartet in which I play. Simply because the CP70 has a sound particulire trs, trs round hot trs. DCID I use it on a model of the quartet to try, and surprise. The CP70 provides a color particulire and much more intimate than a traditional piano. Combined with the Rhodes, is a marvel. A small and lightweight rverb chorus on some tracks and you&#39;re jou.

I bought a CP70B in June 2004. I rvais years. When I jou a CP70 for the first time, I knew I could do without. But I have a lot of possible questions. Will I be able to play in all styles of music, is that the sound is not too typical? I actually DCID to make my personal color. I do not sell it for anything in the world I feel, color, Aesthetics. This piano is a marvel of architecture. Imagine a piano is spare in half and that is perfectly equilibrated (I do not have reinforcements on my own feet, and do not stand prevents !!!). The CP70/80 worth around 8500 to 10000. The hill is used around 1500 - 1800 for CP70. The MODEL is the most common CP70B. Can not get information from Yamaha for the SERIES numros because they do not keep archives on electric instruments (only for piano and this, for a period of 50 years). A sound irreplaceable, inimitable just ... Good move, a final site for lovers of CP70 and those who will become one.
