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.
