Yamaha’s Reface CP has long been admired for the quality of its electric piano sounds, but if you want to get the best out of them, you really need to play them on a bigger keyboard. Thanks to the CP’s MIDI In, doing this is easy, but for one studio furniture builder, that wasn’t quite enough.
The craftsman in question is Christopher Elsasser of Munstre Audioracks and Furniture, who’s always liked the idea of owning a Rhodes electric piano but has never bought one. So, his thinking was that he could take the guts of his Reface CP and put them in a much larger enclosure with better speakers and more/larger keys.
