TomKittel Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Isn't it stunning how good the old Clavinova PF sounds under the fingers of a gifted musician like Monty Alexander? Yamaha launched the Clavinova PF in 1992 or so. Wow. Quote LIFE IS SHORT, GO GET THE GEAR YOU WANT ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz+ Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Live at Montreux Festival, 1994. I wonder why he wasn"t playing a grand piano, as he almost always does, since the others were playing amplified acoustic instruments. I guess it was so he could cut? I guess the real piano at that time had some problems? An artist's contract usually has the right to refuse a particular piano if they feel it's not up to their standard. I think a real piano could have sounded nicer and been easier to control with his super technique.
