It's actually an Electric Baby Grand Piano. It has the same action as a Traditional Piano but the strings (which are akin to Standard Piano Strings) are amplified by Pickups like an Electric Guitar. They're actually Piezo Pickups so it makes the instrument sound more like a true Amplified Piano.

Aguante Charly
-
Reminds me instantly of Tony Banks and Elton John. Love this instrument on tracks like Heathaze and Turn it On Again
-
I see this instrument often in vintage synth videos. Thank you for featuring this legacy instrument.
-
You sold me on this piano. Should be nice for my apartment, loud enough to hear but quiet enough to keep from bothering anybody. I can't wait to get my own.
-
Thank you for introducing vulfpeck to me, i just listened to tee time and it's awesome! I love it when old instruments are used to create contempirary music.
-
Hey man...How can I reach you for a potential project?
-
3:00 - It even says 'OUT'... Why are you calling them inputs ?!
-
Sounds just like Charly García...
-
First time I heard it was on Elton John’s USSR concert in 1979. I just love the sounds of the lower keys
-
Great video and playing man - thank you!
-
Great video my dude. Would love to see if you can figure out how to mimic the keyboard sound from New Years Day by U2.
-
The Helpinstill company that makes those Piano Pickups got that inspiration from the Yamaha CP-70 & CP-80 Electric Baby Grand Pianos. The sound that you'd get out of an Acoustic Piano fitted w/ Helpinstill Pickups is akin to a CP-80 but more refined cause you now have a Soundboard & longer Bass Strings.

Wow! The polyverse widener really improved the stereo image! Bought mine new for $2500 in 1978.
-
Saw Howard Jones use this in concert -- sometime around 1984. That's what sold me.
-
este teclado se debería llamar Charly García
-
Review starts at 5:25 for anyone still waiting to hear the piano
-
what's up with your power socket? Why has it been moved? Mine has it over the hole in yours :)
-
i found out about this piano on a Coldplay concert, i thoght it was some kind of keyboard/case situatio haha, like a keyboard that was its own case too, it really catch my attention.
-
I have this same piano. Normally use it unplugged because I like it quite. When I do plug it in, I get a pretty bad hiss. Anyone know what I could do to get rid of the hiss?
