Yamaha CS80

I think this should be no problem for the CP-70 but it could be quite intimidating to look at. Also, you ought to make sure that the ground underneath the CP-70 is *really* solid... I wouldn´t try it on wooden floors...

  Subject: [yamahacs80] CS-80 on CP-70?


  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
