Hey group....
Well good news bad news guys here....
My CS-80 keyboard came today warmed up for a couple of hours....
and sounded quite sick...not the good "sick" mind you...for you urbanites
but more like the "holy crap"...sounds awful....sick.
So.now I'm thinking ...for 3 grand I could have visited everyones friend Max
in France and we could have hit Monte Carlo on one of those high roller weekender
passes...cruised for chicks that don't mind Americans/etc...
But alas....Here I am.
So Any one who can give me some immeadiate help in this regard...I will send a
personally signed 8 X 10 glossy of my bun...and not even ship COD..
I actually will pay for the postage.!!
So okay trying to lighten up my mood here....I'm obviously disappointed.
Nothing ventured nothing gained...and yet...if someone can be so kind as to offer me a
link for tuning it at least...than I can at least get a read on whats functioning and what isn't... and go from there..I would sincerely appreciateI .
And No bun photo's I promise!!!
My regards, J D

It's fairly well known, or easy to establish, that a lot of
the main honchos of the classic analog keyboard era (Tony Banks,
Rick Wakeman, you name them) are decidedly NOT nostalgic for the
vintage keys of yore.
I suppose that's reasonably understandable, but I'm surprised that
the overall community of filthy rich music makers doesn't absolutely
corner the market on the most valuable and rare of vintage keys.
TRANSLATION: Some bloke is trying to sell a GX-1 in Australia.
Apparently wants silly money, don't really know just what. But if
I was worth millions upon millions, I'd pay... hate to say it, but
something on the order of $1M doesn't seem unreasonable given the
rarity and coolness of a GX-1. Think about rare vintage cars as
a comparison (which aren't as fast and comfortable as current cars,
etc.). Yet I think an auction in Europe for a GX-1 went to $37k,
and Mark Glinsky told me that Hans Zimmer sold his GX-1 for less
than $25k.
So, yes, Coldplay should have every G0dd@mn super valuable and rare
vintage keyboard under the sun.
