[SOLD] Yamaha CP73 Stage Piano (Nord Killer?) £1050 North London

[CameronJ]

Up somewhat reluctantly is my Yamaha CP73, selling as it simply isn’t getting enough use to justify keeping. That, and I’ve just bought a load of pricey camera gear so I need to balance the books 

Purchased from Anderton’s a few months ago. Full disclosure - it had a faulty key when new so it was returned to Andertons who had it repaired and serviced at their Yamaha Service Centre. It now operates flawlessly and as you can see is in near mint condition.

I was initially in the market for a Nord Electro, however after doing a bit of research I realised the CP73 would be better for my needs. It’s very Nord-like in its layout and operation but the clinching factors for me were the built-in audio interface, iOS compatibility (with volume level control for USB audio), pitch/mod sticks and both unbalanced 1/4” outs and balanced XLR outs. Oh and stereo audio inputs on 1/4” jacks with a dedicated level control knob, so you can hook up a second board directly (or anything that outputs 1/4” line level signal - I had a Bluetooth audio receiver permanently plugged in and powered by the onboard USB A socket) and have the audio pass through to the main outs on the CP73. Good luck finding those features on the Nord!

Comes with USB cable and UK mains IEC power cable, packed in the original (though a bit tatty) box.

UK shipping included.

I freaking love that thing man. And I had to get a load of work done to it as the bridge was separating from the top 😂

Really? It didn't have any bridge issues when it was with me. I got it from Bass Direct, had it maybe 8 months or so before you got it from me!

Yeah it was like those old guitars where it peels off due to string tension. It’s all sorted now and I love it, just saying I have a fair bit of money in it now so wouldn’t want it part with it. Anyway, let’s not derail poor Cameron’s thread any more!

These keys are sooo good. My mate Kev the Keys uses one of these and I’m mates with some of the Yamaha boys behind it. Proper great bit of kit this....the audio outs are spot on for live work, local monitoring etc. GLWTS!

And sold!
