Clp-123

[jels]

I found a used CLP-123 for sale, but can't find any info on it and how it compares to the current models. Does anyone know where I can findo info about its features and how to guess what a used one should cost? Is the 123 similar to the 120 or 130?

Thanks

Hi,

I don't know what you should pay for a used one, though I wouldn't spend too much money on a model that is ten years old. There's a world of difference between the action of the CLP 123 an that of the very recent CLP 120 and 130, not to mention the difference in sound.
Also, the polyphony of 32 is only indicative for mono sampled sounds, the stereo sampled ones have a polyphony of only 16.

Hope this helped!

Kind regards,
Michiel
