Yamaha CS80

"Lindsay" at Edmonton Audio Works does Excellent work on them......but
that again would be North of the Border in Edmonton Alberta.....It would
be wise to get a time slot booked with him as he also services Hammond
organs and other older Electronics.....I would Easily make a 14 hour
journey from where I am to get mine looked at......
BTW......A CS80 prevents grey hairs as it is the synth that becomes a
natural extention of a musician....If you can think it, you both can
play it ....from a programmers side it is limited.....from a musicians
side, it is infinite........
