Suzuki HP-90 or HP-97?

Suzuki HP-90 or HP-97?

2009-06-16 by Alan Probandt

Hello,
  A google search of Suzuki HP-90 turns up no references.  Could this be a Suzuki HP-97 digital piano?

Thank you,

Thank you so much for the reply!

This keyboard is well over ten years old, according to the seller.  It may predate the Internet, which would explain why there isn't much mention on the Web.

I did find some Google references to a HP-90d, but still no manuals or service information.  It is possible that the HP-97 is the next generation, but it is pretty different based on what I have seen.

I have made some pictures and placed them here:

Maybe this will jog someone's memory.

Thanks so much,
Jeff

Suzuki also made the HP-80 as well.  Unfortunately, couldn't locate a manual for this either.  One site (usedprice.com) showed these were made from 1995-2003.

Sometimes the manufacturer released a common manual for the family of keyboards, e.g. one manual for HP-80/HP-90 etc.

Here is an ad for the HP-80 - may be similar to HP-90:
