Yamaha CS80

Remember that the tuning is more stable if it is warm inside the
unit...When I tune mine I cover the cards with a blanket and the keybed
with a quilt so it is warm with the lid open...when I close her up she
doesnt drift because of heat change...Live, I am on a high riser behind
our drummers riser...my CS80 sits on our drummers monitor  blocking
75-100% of the bottom grill and a skirt hangs from the tolex "upper lid"
which I modified to place 2 otherkeyboards above theCS80 panel I-II (my
upper tolex lid is cut an inch past the slant over the length of the
keyboard so the part covering the keys ribbon and memory switches down
to the latches can be removed by pulling the hinge pins out of the
hinges I have along this incision..leaving yhe other half lid as a stand
for my VK7 and Quadrasynth)BTW alot of time I am playing right up in the
lights of the upstage truss or fairly close based on the trim
heighth....I did drill some vent holes in the upper tolex to allow some
extra ventilation but the opening is adaquate above the ribbon as the
heat rolls out there.....I have no tuning problems what so ever....even
on a windy stage where tuning is an issue with an exposed CS80....
