“So Ben was pleased to discover the Yamaha CP280 (sic) Clavinova, which he uses onstage. "For live shows, it's always been my mission to find a digital piano that looks like a piano and has an organic feel," he explains. "It's really difficult to mike an acoustic piano live, especially when you're competing with drums, bass, and guitars. Also, I like my monitors pretty loud, but it's hard to get a piano loud in the wedges without feeding back. With the Yamaha CLP280, I feel like I've found what I was looking for. It sounds so beautiful! I've been very happy with it."”
