Hi Kabinopus,
couldn’t agree more. You put in arranger functions and it gets outdated.
Be more inclined to invest in Yamaha CLP without the functions, but, how does one make a keyboard and a piano look good together.
( fortunately my setup is in a spare bedroom, I don’t think my husband would like it as the main feature of the living room)
Don’t understand why Yamaha doesn’t make a module, couldn’t imagine anything better than being able to replace the old technology with the new,
The outdated arranger functions is what would probably stop me from ever buying a Clavinova CVP series piano.
My 2 pennies worth, a module would make sense. Somewhere around 2006 I purchased a CVP307, it has served me well. It is outdated but I primarily use it as a piano, rarely do I use it anymore as an arranger. At the time I purchase I did not own a portable arranger keyboard. As great as an instrument it is I would not buy another CVP Clavinova.
Hi Stephen,
Yamaha products are great. Ex neighbor had a clp that’s 17 years, old ,only thing wrong with it, the disk drive failed about 5 years ago.
The piano , perfect. It was top of the line. Technology sound wise probably has improved, but it still sounded great. Put arranger functions in it, would have been outdated 14years ago.
Try selling a second hand piano with outdated arranger functions over here, be impossible. Had an old Technics piano with arranger functions 20 + years ago, only way I could get rid of it was to trade it for a Technics keyboard. Got hardly anything for it, and it was only 1 or 2 years old.
On the other hand , if they had some sort of module set up , that could be replaced, one could have the same piano for years , or even a seperate arranger module would be great.
