wmp Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Real Corinthian leather? That was rich Corinthian leather in the Chrysler Cordoba. Sadly the only meaningful google results for "CP80 trebuchet" pointed to another discussion here. No pics or videos available. Yet. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Dan Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Kanker promised me the CP70 in his garage long ago...problem is he hates it to much to even move the paint cans out of the way to view it. I wonder if it's wrapped in fine Corinthian leather? Quite honestly, were I to lay my hands on it, I'm thinking Red Velvet with...what do you call it? the buttons and tucking....tuck and roll? Not sure. I'll put it right under my sofa sized velvet Elvis. Dan Acoustic/Electric stringed instruments ranging from 4 to 230 strings, hammered, picked, fingered, slapped, and plucked.

zephonic Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 $5000?!? It does seem to be in very good condition, but are they really worth that much? gear list.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Dan Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 The Country Brown Tolex blends with the landscape and protects the Trebuchet from damage during the launch. Trebuchet's can be very expensive. You have to look at it as a return on investment. Preventative maintenance, maybe.

JeffLearman Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 LOL. A CP70 was $4K, back in the day. IIRC, the price didn't change much over the years. What was a CP80? Anyway, no soundboard. Sorry Charlie. My guess is he'll be lucky to get $1500 for it. I never understood anyone getting a CP80 unless it was a pro act where the cost was irrelevant, and other people moved it for you. The notes outside the CP70 range were useless. Some might say the ones in the CP70 range were too! But I loved my CP70, until DPs that sounded better became available in the late 90's. There's a working trebuchet at Baux, France. They give demos daily. Ship it there; I bet they'd love to have some fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 .I never understood anyone getting a CP80 unless it was a pro act where the cost was irrelevant, and other people moved it for you. The notes outside the CP70 range were useless. Some might say the ones in the CP70 range were too! The strings across the entire harp on the CP80 were longer, which gave it better tuning stability and less string breakage. It also gave it at least a slightly better lower register. Plus you did get all 88 keys.
