I am a professional musician and bought a CVP89 for $6000 back in the 90's. The quality of sound was fantastic. The disc drive was a huge bonus. I could record concertos and 2-piano parts on a disc, then practice my piano part with backup. A Most valuable feature. The half-step transposition and single digit metronome feature were great. A perfect second piano to have in a teaching studio. The down-side of my purchase occurred recently when a power-surge damaged my Yamaha. Yamaha Specialists had a look at it and said none of its damaged electronics could be repaired nor any parts replaced. Once damage was done, this electric piano became obsolete. I spent the day taking it apart. Next week it will go into land-fill. A big loss, both musically , emotionally and financially.
I have one from the 2000s :) Still working. Even though it fails me often on start up. But i try it 5 .. 10 times and once started successfull it just works
The CVP is nice but this guy could make a $100 Casio keyboard sound great. Many people buy these thinking they can make it sound like the video. But most will find that they have an expensive dust collector a few weeks after they find out what little they can do with it. The best use for most people is probably just playing pre-recorded music. There's no substitute for talent and this guy's got it buy the boat load.
Besides talent, that guy has done alot of WORK to reach that state. Unlikely those instruments are sold with the shine of 'music is a kind of comfortable automatism'. Nothing that really counts in life is a result of 'comfortable automatism'. But to those guys that like music, do their work and love to progress step by step those instruments might be inspirational.
The Digital Piano is mostly an American thing... in Asia people who want to play an electronic instrument capable of big sound and multiple voices play Digital Organs. The main difference being that you have two keyboards (upper and lower) and instead of the traditional piano tri-pedals you have pedal board that mimics serves as a third keyboard. You play with two hands and one foot. Unfortunately, Yamaha does not sell the Stagea series of electronic organs in the US. You can grey market a Stagea ELB-02, but good luck finding any electronic organ instructors in the USA.
This guy is a brilliant salesperson! What an amazing sound!
That guy’s an amazing personality!
Wonderful demonstration ! I love this Piano keyboard.
WOW what a sound !

Carolyn Horn i had a CLP from 95. I loved it.
$25 per month isn't bad.
Yamaha makes amazing stuff....CVPs are no exception
the dynamic range from 0:34-0:42 kills me all the time :D
I was looking through the comments to see if I was the only one. I know right it's so good
Pardock :)
At 0:49 he missed a key...
I've got the 601 and I love it! Miss the Celtic violin though :P
He's a talented player and salesman.
Hmm nice piano ! Maybe my next piano will be a CVP instead of CLP.. :-)
Шикарно!
