CS-80 on CP-70?

2008-03-21 by alt-mode

Hi,

I'm new to the group and I'm dealing with the rather weighty (pun  
intended) decision to get a CS-80.  With any beast like this, fitting  
it into the right place in the studio is a heavy (OK, I'll stop with  
the puns now) decision.

I'm considering setting the CS-80 on top of a Yamaha CP-70 electric  
grand.  Eddie Jobson had his on top of a CP-70 back in the day but I  
don't know if he had some special stand made for the CP-70 to deal  
with the extra weight.  There is also the issue of making sure that  
there is air circulation underneath the CS-80. I think this can be  
handled by raising the CS up on blocks or angling it a bit forward.   
I'm less concerned about this than I am with just the weight on the  
CP-70.

Does anyone have any experience with putting a CS-80 on a CP-70?  Am I  
crazy to be considering this arrangement?

Thanks,
	Eric
