I've heard two things about the pedigree of Yamaha organs. An early one
was used on Bernard Hermann's soundtrack to "The Day the Earth Stood
Still" along with the theremin and early Fender electric bass. The other
thing is that a Yamaha was used on the Star Trek episode "The Empath".
Don't know the model # on either instance but the sounds are fantastic.
What is it with Yamaha and weight? I've lugged around a CS 60 and 70 and
been strained to the limits. Luckily I had some muscle from moving a
Hammond for years, Happy new Year!!
