The graded hammer action keyboard gives it the best possible feel. These are just some of the features available; the cp-300 comes with a lot more.
Need help to get a better sound from my cp-300! The piano sound from the built in speakers of this piano is very good, but for some strange reason I am unable to get the same sound quality when I connect it through my Yamaha EMX-88S PA system.
I have tried tweaking the EQ's on the CP-300 and even on the PA but it is not helping me get a better sound.
Is it the PA? I don’t have spare speakers to test this out.
