Vintage 1980s Yamaha CP-70B electric grand piano. This is a true acoustic piano action with real hammers, strings, and dampers, amplified through Yamaha’s onboard pickup system — not a digital or sampled electric piano. Heard on countless recordings from the late ’70s through the ’80s by artists including Toto, Journey, The Cars, and Talking Heads.

The CP-70B’s case splits in half for transport, a signature feature of this model that made it practical for touring and studio use alike.

Condition:

Fully functional and playing well. Action, hammers, and dampers are in good working order. Case shows cosmetic wear consistent with age and studio use — scuffing and some wear on the tolex/case corners. No known mechanical or electronic issues.
