In order to find the right thing (that might have slightly different
dimensions) - did I understand this right:

(1) You only need to support the (relative small) flat part of the
underside?

(2) The crews to open everything up are _not_ in th eflat part, but
all in the sloped part right?

(3) What's the exact distance between the screws (from left to right)
on the underside? (to avoid something in th estand to _just_
accidentially being the same width.

(4) Most important: What is the exact difference in height between the
flat underside (where the synth will rest on the stand), and the top
surface of the white keys?


I need (4) to calculate the height of the stand or pedastal including
casters, to achive my comfortable playing height. On my other synths,
I've optimized this by sawing off pices from the wooden legs I'm using.
With the CS-80, I'd rather know beforehand, so I can get it on top of
this right when it arrives.

If you, or anybody else, just has a measuring tape at hand, I would be
deeply grateful!
