Does anyone know about a Yamaha electric piano? I saw one a while back at a music shop. It was a bit larger than a Rhodes suitcase but was a real piano! It was kind of shocking to play it (unplugged) and hear this muffled piano-in-a-box sound come out. It must have scaled down strings inside or something.

Like the Yamaha CP70 and CP80?

I fell briefly and tempestuously in love with Charlotte Caffey playing one of these in the "Head Over Heels" video.

Oh yeah, that must have been it. There was a bunch of other crap piled on top and around it so I didn't realize how deep it was. It makes a lot more sense now!

I dont know about making a rhodes keyboard again, you see the Digital Keyboards and Pianos can actually produce a authenic rhodes sound with all the nuances of the original piano.

I'd recommend a Hohner Pianet - much more portable & cheaper. If you have Cubase or other VST software, there's a great free download here:

MDA E Piano

I use it on recordings all the time:
