Does CVP 505 has any disadvantage compared to CVP 601, because it is relatively older model? PS: I have moderate experience on an upright, but I would still consider myself as bigginer. Whatever I buy now will be with me for at least 5+ years Last edited by amazingneo; 05/02/13 04:50 AM.

I like that the 505 seems to have a more powerful speakers, but does not mean that is necessarily better sound. Also kind of like the looks of 505 better IMO. however 601 glossy black very nice. Both look like fun - good luck! http://usa.yamaha.com/products/musi...?selected=437967_16127_&mode=compare Last edited by Marko in Boston; 05/02/13 05:03 AM.

So pick the one with the best other features, looks, better sound system, etc. Macy CVP-409GP, Garritan CFX, Vintage D, Ivory II GP's & American Concert D, Pianoteq, True Keys American D, Ravenscroft 275, Garritan Authorized Steinway, Alicia's Keys, EWQL Pianos, MainStage, iPad Pro/forScore/PageFlip Cicada, Custom Mac MIDI/Audio Software Design, Macs Everywhere
