Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Yamaha CS80

I know I'm going to sound silly and corny as hell for saying (writing)
this, but it's been a really long time since I felt so excited about a
synthesizer as I feel with my CS80.
Not since I bought my first synth, a Juno-6, way back in 1983, did I
feel this infatuated with an innanimate object.
That is why, knowing how fickle and temperamental a beast this baby is,
I already foresee periods of painful anguish when it starts
malfunctioning (I guess it's not an issue of "if" but of "when", huh?).

If any of you guys has read the Pinch/Trocco book "Analog Days", you
may recall the brief section about Suzanne Ciani and the painful
experience of owning her Buchla modular, and how she suffered when it
broke down. Shit, I'm gonna get a lot of grey hair from this thing, but
it's just that this thing is so damn AWESOME!

That is why, I want to ask you guys: who, in your opinion, is the best
technician for CS80 repairs in the continental USA?
I guess if it breaks down badly, I'll be willing to lug it around the
country in a rented van, as long as I can keep its beautiful analog
heart beating...

OK, enough cheesy BS......;-P

Thanks, guys!
