Now does anyone think that these, despite Peter's excellent musicianship, are worth $2k+ MORE than a T3?
I don't hear it, that's for sure...
I purchased a CVP 307 in 2004 for $5100. I think the 307 is out of production and has been replaced by the 407. Of course when I purchased the 307 it was from a friend of mine who was the Yamaha dealer in Rhode Island at the time. As I recall, others who didn't have a friend in the business could buy it as low as $5700 if they really shopped around, otherwise $6,000 was typical. I tend to doubt I could sell my CVP 307 for $5,000, I could be wrong. I would be very happy if I could sell it for $5,000. I also had a CVP 107 which I paid $3500 for in 2001, three years later when I sold it I got $1800 cash and the buyer picked it up at my home. I took a bath on it. But had no use for it.
Yea, the T3 with it's new sound engine has some advantages over the CVP 307 as an arranger. Most of the time I play the 307 I use it strictly as a piano, in that case the 307 with its' graded hammer action has it all over the T3.
