There were even some attempts to program acceptable piano sound on TX816 (48 operators) but still not quite successful as I have read somewhere. Anyway it would be interesting to try those attempts but I didn’t found anything about it.

Agreed, but it was always a matter or perspective.? The stages I played on couldn't support a CP-70 (nor could my budget), but I dragged a CP-30 around with me.?

But if I was playing in say, a synth-pop group that did *one* '50s medley, the DX piano would have been tempting -- particularly if I didn't solo.I remember reading that Dr. Chowning thought that FM could ultimately clone complex instruments like piano and violin.? The problem was the amount of effort to get the attacks and other 'stuff' (Yamaha's term) right.? It would have probably taken 20-30 operators, and a half a year of a good FM programmer's time, to get all the nuances right!Regards,

As someone that schlepped a CP-70B, I can assure you, the DX series is not “what got by as piano” back in the day.
Every synth out there has a patch marked “piano” – but that doesn’t mean it was ever acceptable.

Thanks all,?
I picked it up yesterday, it's truly in mint condition even has the sheet music holder. It's amazing what got by as piano's back in the day. Love the strings, and all of the organ presets. Now I have something to take to my friends house and jam, the K2500 is 50 lbs and I just keep on getting older :-)
Thank you all for the information!!?
