Description: A sample library of the Yamaha CP8 compact electric grand piano, a tribute to and love for the sound that defined an era. Before sampling, the piano was properly restored and tuned. Particular attention was paid to recreating the characteristic abrupt sound of the middle registers, reducing the depth of the lows and high octaves. Our goal was to achieve a high level of quality and it was not easy. The onboard electronics were very noisy and the piano also made a lot of noise, even though it was electric. But through the care and attention that went into restoring, preparing, tuning and sampling this amazing technical excellence, we have managed to capture what we consider to be the finest rendition of this classic compact electric grand piano.
