Any News about Yamaha CP300 Successor? #1901851 05/23/12 12:49 PM

I am afraid a new model is on the way with newer technology. Have you heard any news or rumors about the successor of Yamaha CP300? Thanks!

There are practically no other dedicated stage pianos with speakers any more. The trend seems to be toward lighter weight (thank goodness). Also, speaker/amp design is improving and you can now buy decent powered monitors that won't break your back. It's likely that Yamaha will refresh its stage DP design within the next year or so, but don't hold your breath for a direct CP300 replacement. Of course, there are a number of slabs available with built-ins. Would one of those suffice? "you don't need to have been a rabbit in order to become a veterinarian" mabraman, 2015

I owned a CP300 for about 3 years, and the 70lbs of weight got real old real quick. Vox is right, lighter is the new trend in Stage DPs. Studiologic Numa X Piano GT with Native Instruments Noire

Fox News - it was a joke, sorry BTW yamaha naming sucks, there is indeed a guitar named that way CP400. While for a DP it makes sense and could mean "classical piano" but for a guitar??? Seriously I don't think there will be a CP300 successor.
