Hey guys. In addition to the Nord 2 Electro, I'm interested in getting a Yamaha CP-70.
http://www.cathedralstone.net/Pages/YamahaCP70B.htm
This is the same Yamaha model that The Edge from U2 plays on stage.
Yamaha regards the CP-70 as an "electric grand piano". It's definitely not a synthesizer, since it doesn't mimic artificial sounds.
However, it seems like the term "keyboard" is thrown around rather liberally by contemporary recording artists.
So here's my question-
Is the Yamaha CP-70 an actual piano, or is it a keyboard?
What do you guys have to say?

Re: Question about the Yamaha CP-70
It is an actual piano in every possible sense of the word.
It is also a keyboard, because it is an instrument that has a keyboard.
Before the "keyboard" discussion starts over again in this thread, I'd suggest referring to your other thread, here:

Re: Question about the Yamaha CP-70
CP70 is a piano without a traditional soundboard. So, like an electric guitar, it makes very little sound unless the output of its pickups are sent to an amplifier. Also, it has fewer (and shorter) strings than a traditional piano.
