YAMAHA - CP-60M

Vintage 1984 Made in Japan - An Upright version of the YAMAMA CP70/CP80 Baby Grand ‘portable’ pianos. This is also the first electric piano to feature MIDI! 76-key weighted keyboard with real steel strings, tuning pins, pin block, and an upright hammer-action mechanism.
Piezoelectric pickups under each string amplify the signal through a preamp which features a 7 Band EQ, 2 x Effect Loops and a Tremolo Circuit.
The MIDI output allows the piano to act as a MIDI controller for outboard synths such as the companion DX7.
The 76-key frame folds compactly into its own protective case, weighing about 100 kg (substantially lighter than the CP70 and CP80 models.

This example has been stripped of its tolex and reduced to pure utilitarian aesthetics; aluminium edging as been added, and the original wheels have been replaced with a custom welded frame and hefty castors, making it a breeze to transport. Some of the trimmings are loose and could benefit from a quick refurbishment.

All strings are present and the hammer mechanisms are in excellent working order *except for one key in the high registers that is sluggish to return*. Will need a minor tune up.
Comes with Power Supply!
