Yamaha CS80

To my knowledge, the three-button model was a prototype only. I´ve seen a prototype that has a split block of preset selectors as well as a keyboard that ends with a C sharp. Another one I´ve seen has all preset selectors in one colour (in a contemporary ad, featuring also the GX-1 and the GS-1/2). I guess these models were rushed out in a hurry in order to have something to show at various music fairs, probably they weren´t even playable at all.

  > Yeah, It's different than my manual. Yours has the third
  wah/expression button that isn't on my CS-80.

  I was going to ask about that..I've seen CS80s with the 3 buttons..
  mine just has the 2 like yours tho it shows 3 in the manual.. i guess
  the 3 was the original production run or something?
