Members Rasmus-DK Posted May 27, 2004 Members Share Posted May 27, 2004 I just saw this for sale at the largest Danish trade place on the web - www.dba.dk - where someone nearby is selling a Yamaha P-300 saying that it's better than a P200 and a P250...I've heard of P60, P80, P90, P100, P120, P150 and the above mentioned - but never this one...is it true what he says..?

Members C. Martin Posted May 27, 2004 Members Share Posted May 27, 2004 It is an older P series piano, and when he says it sounds better than the new P series, he is telling a big lie, unless thats his opinon. It is older than the p200, and about the age of the p150. Regards,p120dUdE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I played one a long time ago, before the P200 was out, I was not impressed to tell you the truth... I believe its the piano sound on Jamiroquais Virtual Insanity though... No comparison to newer Yamaha products... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orangefunk Posted May 27, 2004 Members Share Posted May 27, 2004 To put it more into perspective I also played a Roland FP8 the same day I played the P300... I preferred the Roland. A few years later I played a P200 and I was blown away.. I could not stop thinking about it for weeks... It just seemed to react to every nuance of my touch... although when I heard the mp3 demos on the internet at the time they sounded artificial and obviously sampled... I'd love to play a P200 again and compare with the P120, P250 and even the P80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rockman59 Posted May 27, 2004 Members Share Posted May 27, 2004 The P-300 came out around 1995. At the time it was state of the art......had the best Wurlie sound (A-120/140 models, not the 200 series) out there. Also had strings, organ, harpsicord, etc. I thought the regular piano sounds were good too. The P-300 is pretty heavy, around 90 pounds...but built tough to last. They sold at the time for around $2500 street price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike Martin Posted May 27, 2004 Members Share Posted May 27, 2004 We honestly get calls all the time for P300's which are no longer made. Very popular in Nashville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very popular in Nashville.____________________________________________________I bought a P-300 in '95 and used it for gigging, rock and blues, but it was just too heavy. I picked up a lighter Roland EP-7, not nearly the quality of piano (and not nearly the price of the P-300) but at just 27 pounds it fills the bill and sounds OK. I have the P-300 in my music room for practice.....sounds good to me and I love to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrcpro Posted May 28, 2004 Members Share Posted May 28, 2004 I almost bought one back in '94. I didn't because it's impossible for one person to move...they're not only heavy, but go deeper under the keys than usual. You can't get your arms around one. The acoustic piano was the best you could get at the time...unless you wanted to go for the $12,000 Yamaha P-500. The EP's sound horribly '80's...just the thing if you find yourself doing a lot of Whitney Houston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very popular in Nashville. Is THAT where the other piano sound in the P-250 comes from? That Cltone is probably close to or the same as the Synth Piano sound that you'll find in the P-120 and P-250 (and I presume the P-90) that is the variation of/in the catagory with the DX-7 electric piano.
