[@snoolee7950]

beautiful touch on your playing

[@snoolee7950]

I think you're the best keyboard player on KZbin. you are really wonderful! :-) your playing is masterful, commanding and animated -and musical

[@romakuzhlev5160]

Thank you for such a great and skillful presentation!!!

[@geerefamilyusa]

Thanks man 😎☮️

[@maciekomis]

very enjoyable playing! :) ive got to get my hand on one of these.

[@ZeCoop]

Great demo! You really explained all the features well... i just picked up one of these from my local Goodwill, in fantastic shape. Looking forward to using it! Gave it a run through last night and everything seems to be in working order. Didn't come with the legs, but I didn't need those anyway. :)

[@geerefamilyusa]

Thanks! Hope you enjoy your new keyboard. Kind of a niche sound - mixes well well with others.

[@snoolee7950]

yah mine is missing the legs, too. I love it.

[@mAzMiTh1]

Great playing! Good demo also, I’m picking one up Saturday 👌

[@geerefamilyusa]

How do you like it...?

[@mAzMiTh1]

geerefamilyusa loving it! Been running it through a wah pedal

[@geerefamilyusa]

Gonna try that myself!!

[@steveconnell8490]

I have one. missing legs sustaine pedal looks works good.

[@hardtruth4459]

I don't know why but I'm not getting any sounds I like without the sustain pedal pressed. When I do have it pressed it's like a whole other world. And when I feel there's to much sustain, I turn down the delay dials. I spend hours sometimes manipulating the different voices it has. From a fender Rhodes sound, to a psychedelic Hammond organ - Leslie combo sound, a cool synth. from the early 80's sound, even a indian sitar sound! Not sure about some of the sounds synth dude is getting (or the talented Filipino girl also on KZbin) which also sound cool. What they're playing probably sounds a little different when recorded on KZbin.

I just bought one in a pawn shop for 50 bucks!

[@calibomber209]

Sounds great I'm gonna get one this Sunday for 25$

[@geerefamilyusa]

Hope it turns out to be a good 'un!!

[@miroslavmrva4777]

Sounds amazing. What kind of sythesis is used here? Sounds like FM.

[@audiodood]

combinations of pulse waves (similar to early casiotone keyboards)

[@user-fv1mn1fi8k]

👍👍👍

[@shnarfers]

what's the value I've got one owned by the grateful dead out of the pink elephant in guernville CA mint.

[@derekslg777]

I’m considering selling mine . I love it but it doesn’t get the love and attention it deserves. How much money should I sell it for? There is almost no info or trace of this keyboard online . Thanks for sharing !

[@geerefamilyusa]

Well, if you're considering selling, I'd definitely sell locally as it would be a pain to ship. I actually changed my setup from the video - now the CP has some synths and a drum machine on top of it. And it's pretty much always turned on - so I have a ready-to-go jam station. I don't know if you have the room for that, but I find i play it a lot more that way. Hold onto it, if you can! The action is soooo playable, good for practicing 😎☮️. Thanks for watching!

[@derekslg777]

@@geerefamilyusa thanks for the prompt reply! The playability of the CP25 feels better on the fingers than any other electric piano I’ve played . Unfortunately, I’m hurting for cash and sold it today to a local for $300 ….. I think they will give it will get the love it deserves. Time will tell if I will regret selling it ….

[@jtBrander]

there's one selling in my city (Vancouver B.C) for $450 cdn. so 300 USD. is reasonable. We had one in our band class at high school. such great sound. cheers~

[@piggel6185]

@@derekslg777 Is it still for sale? I've gotten addicted to the sound of these vintage Yamaha keyboards but I can't find any in my area

[@derekslg777]

@@piggel6185 I wish I didn’t sell it :/

[@noelmelanio]

Crazy! It sounds a little mix of synth, clav, organ and rhodes... just enough of each. No MIDI... bummer!!!

[@geerefamilyusa]

Nice analysis - but no MIDI on most clavs, organs, rhodes too :->) Thanks for watching!!

[@noelmelanio]

geerefamilyusa this is true! I'm spoiled on MIDI :)

[@musiqsoundsproductions]

You can control some of the CS sy ths though. Way ahead of its time.

[@pfelice157]

How much would you expect one of these to sell for today?

[@AustinBeede]

$300-500

[@joey3785]

weighted keys?

[@geerefamilyusa]

+Joey Ortiz Feels more like a hammer system to me. Plus, the CP25 weighs 90 pounds - most of which is the action I believe.

[@max_ilan]

cool - my friend got one for $25 !

[@geerefamilyusa]

Can't go wrong there! Cheers 😎

[@Elluvis72]

ugly sound. ....

[@Jimmy-rd5ig]

You must have ear wax in your ears.. jk. It's an acquired sound
