HH Electronic P73 Electronic Piano - anyone heard these?

Hi all,

I've just come across an HH Electronic P73 electronic piano and was wondering if anyone knows anything about them. I did a Google search and found an old ad (1980) for one in an ebay auction. I'd appreciate any info you've got on these.

Never heard of it, but I really like the look of it. I would love to hear what it sounds like....

Well, the one I came across is being given away. I put up an ad for a Rhodes on my local Freecycle group and received a reply from someone who is giving this away on behalf of his/her church.

Ha, go for it then, you can't go wrong!

Unfortunately that's not the case. I haven't really got the space in my house - I am still trying to get a Rhodes. Also I'm probably moving abroad in a few months so don't want to make things too difficult.

Well, get a Rhodes once you've moved and play this one in the meantime?

I'm playing a stage piano with a Nord Electro Rack 2 with Rhodes samples for the moment, which I'm sure are better than the HH thing.

Also I want to get a real Rhodes before I move because, bizarrely, they are cheaper here in the UK than they are in Europe.

Fair enough, I'm just being selfish 'cause I want to hear what it sounds like... :wink:

this HH piano is not electromechanical but purely electronic like the Roland mp700 ,the ARP piano or the Kustom 88
so it was not a commercial succes , btw it's a very rare item but if I well remember sounding like a CP30 Yamaha , so not very attractive .

Thanks for the info, Olivier.

It sure looks like a CP30.

Hey Quatschmacher, i'll happily have that HH thing if you can't fit it in your house.

Hook me up and i'll happily post some videos :wink:

Let me know man!

Finga.

CP30's are crazy!

Picked up the keyboard yesterday, took it to be serviced today. It's a really nice object and sounds pretty heavy as well!

I'll post some pics/sounds as soon as i get it back from service.

Thanks again for the hook up Quatschmacher.

Finga.
