Hey James,
don't get forlorn and negative on us now, the trip to Monte Carlo wouldn't compare with the riches that await you once you get the old dinosaur singing again.
 
Check out OldCrow's site at http://www.cs80.com/cautionary.html  There he offers tuning advice. My ears are really picky and it takes me a good four hours to do the tune up. It lasts for quite a good while. I think it's been over 4 years since I tuned it and it's just now reaching that point where the notes are sounding a little rank. I must add here it's been kept in one place for that time period, and moved very little in one mixing room of a studio.
 
Can you give us any audio samples that illustrate its "holy crap"tivity? I'd rather have that than a bun photo.
 
Effects can mask some of the out of tune-ness.
 
Best of luck to you.
Tommy

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 everyone's 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
