I played piano and keyboard and was in a few bands, and did a lot of recording. I'd say I was really good, but I never reached this level of skill, and I never had the proper touch for an electric piano, even though it's my favorite instrument. You are really great, and have a tremendous sound. Beautiful instrument as well.

Beautiful playing. Just came for referencing the CP80, but listened to the whole thing.

Now I know why Prince liked using this. It sounds great

The Roland RD-1000 has a similar sound Not nothing beats the CP80 in these funky jazzy hands 🙌

Glad I’m not the only one who notices the similarity between the CP80 and the RD1000.

Sounds great! Kinda like a funky riff on "Kissed by a Rose"

Thank you for this video. This is my favourite piano. This sound cannot be heard anywhere else !

Well played, Sir! Always good to know where the middle C is! ;) I had a CP-80 from 1981 thru 1995, and I still miss it. While the sound was unique but not very versatile, the action was superb.

Coool!!! That piece sounded great!

Love this!! I had a Yamaha CP-30 back in the 1980's, but always liked the Yamaha electric grand sound so much better. Was a big fan of the electric grand piano that Leon Russell played on the road in the 80's, I believe it was a Yamaha CP-70, but I could be wrong. I saw him live once in the mid 80's, at a small saloon, and he was playing the electric grand. He could make that thing sing!

GREAT !!! More music with more CP-80 please

Amazing! Beatiful!

For the past few years I've gotten really into old electric pianos after Arctic Monkeys started using a Wurly and I immediately fell in love with it (odd band to get it from I know, but it's one of my favorite bands) anyways I figured I wanted to know what a proper CP 80 sounded like, as all i knew it from before was a shitty preset on my cheap Yamaha keyboard. So I looked up this video and I absolutely love the sound of it! Would love to have one of these someday, and from what I can see they are cheaper than any Wurlitzer or Rhodes out there so might go for it some time

I think I might have the same keyboard and actually love this particular preset as is!

beatifuly played!

Nice playing! Great tone on the piano too, I am shopping around for one of those myself

Love it. The original has that special magic which most samples just don't get right.

Please consider releasing this ! It’s so tight

great tunes!

Muito bom grande maestro Joshua.

Seal will give you a big thumbs up for this I hope!

this is awesome i have a cp 80 sound on my keyboard and youre showing me it can be played in other styles than what i normally play

this must be the later run of the CP80 because it has the parametric EQ like my CP60 does. I have a CP80 with the old knob style EQ and only one effects loop.

Nice!

Genial!

Isn't there some rule against winning international saxophone competitions while also being able to improvise funky piano covers? Too much talent, man.

Haha, I didn't read the rulebook. I was playing funky piano long before I knew what a classical saxophone was

Still think that in a soul/funk/blues/jazz context the CP80 is still the best key-instrument you can have in your mix - second only maybe to a rhodes.

I think the exact model is CP80M

Hey i have a question whats the name of the tune you play in the video, or is it one of your own compositions? Astonishing sound by the way.

What do people have to say about the action on this keyboard? I was adamant about getting a fully-weighted keyboard but I found one of these for $400. Is that a good deal???

Joshua Hyde It sounds more like a True Amplified Piano

It is a true amplified piano. It has strings on a harp just like an acoustic baby grand, except instead of a soundboard, the strings are amplified by piezoelectric pickups like those used in acoustic guitars.

@@darwinsaye These adorable Electric Baby Grand Pianos never caught on w/ Orchestras because the Bass Strings were really short so they sounded rather clunky.

What are you playing it through, any effects, what amp ? :)
