Advantages: reasonable price, reasonable sound, portable, built-in amplification & speakers, USB port Disadvantages: no music rest supplied, a few dodgy-sounding notes around D4
was so confident that CP300 would suit me that I didn't even bother playing it before buying it. Later, when the instrument arrived, I was not disappointed in any way.
Just bear in mind that, unless you have one, apart from the music rest for CP300 a suitably robust stand will be required on which to sit the instrument. I use a Quiklok 'X' type stand. But Yamaha does a special stand costing about £150 - also available as 'an accessory'.
*As far as I know Technics stopped making electronic pianos a few years back.
UPDATE ON ABOVE REVIEW - 8TH APRIL 2009
Now on to my second CP-300. The first one - reviewed above - developed an odd resonance on the note 'D' that lies a major ninth above middle C. In fact, the two notes on either side of this 'D' are affected i.e. the C and C# and the D# and E. Yamaha reckons it could be ...

Yamaha CP300 piano is a worthwhile purchase. ...

We purchased a Hitachi 28" Pure Flat Screen TV in the January 2003 sales. A bargain reduced from £600 to £389.
Unfortunately by February 2004 we had a problem with it. A grey screen with wavey diagonal lines and it kept turning itself off after about 5 seconds.
Anyway - stupid like we didnt take the extended guarantee - which i would advise everyone to do - if you can afford it obviously.
The TV was taken away by a local engineer and basically needed some extensive welding and it cost us £170 and we were left without the TV for 3 weeks.
Well we werent happy as you can imagine so we tried to contact Hitachi.
We telephoned our local Miller Brothers store who supplied it and they only had a fax number for Hitachi - nothing else !!!
So I searched the web and found a few addresses and forward the original reciept ...
