Yamaha CP-70

Electric grand piano model

The Yamaha CP-70 is an electric grand piano introduced in 1976, sounding real hammered strings amplified by piezoelectric pickups rather than samples. Its two-piece, road-portable case made a grand-piano voice practical on stage, and it became a fixture of late-1970s and 1980s rock and pop.
