The Genesis Of An Icon
The CP-70 received wide acclaim after its release in 1976, and the reasons for its success were clear. Portable enough for the live tour and expressively authentic - with hammer-to-string amplification - this electrified piano boasted a form-factor, vivid sound and responsive feel that was incomparable with its predecessors.
The Yamaha CP-70’s proponents are innumerable, from George Duke, Herbie Hancock, Prince and Genesis to the Grateful Dead, Jon & Vangelis, Alicia Keys, Patrice Rushen, the list goes on. The desire for a dynamic, animated piano sound was palpable around the time of its release, and it did not disappoint. Featuring on stages and live recordings everywhere, the sound of CP-70 began to spread across the music scene. Its success was largely driven by a tour-friendly design; with detachable legs and harp, stable tuning, an optional road case and the ability to stack additional keyboards and synths on its flat top - a no-brainer for the concert luminaries.
Designed To Be Elevated
The sound of CP-70 was carefully captured and modeled with authenticity at its core.
This dedication to reflecting the raw depth of the piano strings and precisely emulating the output stage, allows for the expressivity of the CP-70 to ring through in every note.
