CVP 209 for Sale

CVP 209 for Sale

2006-11-26 by david962548

Hi All

I know this is the group for the Disklavier but someone may just want 
a second piano for their second home.

Having thought long and hard, I have decided to go for a Virtual 
Piano. (VP)  Like thousands of people, I love to hear a real piano, 
but cannot play that well myself.

It would make sense, I think, to have a deadicated PC for the VP and 
with this in mind I want go for a new Apple Mac.

So I need to sell my CVP as I do not have room for both.

See the Synthogy's web site for details of a Virtual Piano:

The CVP 209 is in immaculate condition and it's high gloss finish is 
mark free.

Hey, don't be too down on your playing.   Everybody with an interest 
deserves
a good instrument...and the advanatage of the Disklavier is that when you're
not amusing myself playing, I can pop in my Teddy Wilson disk or whatever
and listen to something really good.

That being said, the computer synthesis is getting much better than the 
dedicated
boxes like the CVP.   I have a dedicated rack mount PC that rolls around 
under
my C5.   Before I got the real piano, I had a several different software 
synths
on it but I spent most of my time with the Post Music Bosendorfer 290 loaded
up into Gigastudio.   Now the computer provides mostly MIDI support for
the disklavier, but I still fire up the synth from time to time (I'll 
probably do it
more now that it's XMAS time to get my pipe organ samples up to accompany
carols).   I need to find a good "second" Midi keyboard to place on top of
the C5.   The KX88 is large and mostly redundant with the real piano and
the DX-7 I was using as an auxilliary to that is a bit unwieldy (and not the
greatest MIDI controller in the world).
