| certo_glenn's Full Review: Yamaha Portable Keyboard Bag for P80 |
I have relied on my P-80 for several years. A good case is available and is easily stood in the back seat, extending from floorboard toward rear window. As a practice piano, any set of full range computer speakers works great: even the $40 Altec Lansings from Sam's Club or Walmart. For gigs, I use two Peavey KB/A-100 keyboard amps: two to preserve stereo richness. Sometimes I enhance it with a small mixer that has a built-in EQ. The several piano sounds and organ sounds are very rich, even the old Hammond B3000 with or without the Leslie. The Peaveys cost $400 each, new. And for religious institutions, the P-80 makes a very fine addition, if the group cannot afford a rich sounding acoustic piano or organ. The musician can store one song at a time in memory with its two tracks. Perhaps an organ track can be stored and during a service, the piano part is played live along with the stored organ part. The P-80 is tunable to an existing piano that may be a bit out of tune. Other than that, it has no "bells and whistles," only a superior, set of sampled voices. If what you need is a rich man's sound with a poor man's pocketbook, this is the instrument for you. If you need furniture, I believe the Yamaha 880 is the same instrument in a wooden frame and has 3 petals instead of one.
