What's The Vintage Electric Piano...

...that sort of has the countour of a Baby Grand but it's more Rhodes-like in nature?

It was popular in the 70's.

Thanks!

I have a DX-7 and a 73 Rhodes but have always wanted a CP-80... the DX-7 has a pretty good piano sound that sort of emulates the CP to some degree (after some processing and outboard FX) but it doesn't have the velocity, weight and feel of the CP-80's keys.

Where would "Weather Report" be without the CP-80? or "Earth Wind and Fire"? Yamaha was soooo damn ahead of their time in the 70's and 80's.

Some of those guys played the CP-70(B and M), I assume that the CP-80 was the newer model...

You have got to love subtractive synthesis.

Man, I remember hauling one of those around in a band, also a hammond B3, and a Leslie 147 tone cabinet across the country for a while. They took up alot of truck space and were back breakers, but no doubt about it, sounded great.

I'm still looking for a deal on a good condition 147 tone cabinet locally. I still rememeber THAT sound of moving air swirl.
