Speaking of Christine, occasionally you can find a Yamaha CP-30 on eBay that's in great condition. The CP-30 is the electronic piano that Chris played on the Tusk, Mirage & '84 solo tours, as well as on the "Tusk" & "Mirage" albums (on tracks like "Over & Over," "Think About Me," "Sisters of the Moon," "Angel," "Honey Hi," "Never Forget" & "Straight Back"). For you demo collectors, she also played it on the Mac demos for "Beauty & the Beast" & "If You Were My Love." The CP-30 is a heavy mother, but any of you keyboardists out there who want to emulate Christine's sound on those classic Mac tracks may want to check out the CP-30 auctions on ebay, including this one:

$295 is a little steep -- you can still find them for around $150 or $200 -- but isn't bad for this baby. Beware of the instrument's weight, however. It's about 125 pounds. It's a fantastic piece of gear -- I own two of them myself! I don't move them around much, but nothing else beats them when you want to play something like "Angel."
