Hey, Don...ya gotta spend that loot on something(besides golf).

I special ordered a custom Yamaha C-605 (I was teaching for Yamaha then, and had a tiny bit of drag)...it was a portabilized version...still weighed about as much, but disassembled so that it took up less space in my big old Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser station wagon.

Here's what the keyboard looked like.



The lid actually became the stand/support...I don't think there were many of these ever imported into Canada.

I ended up selling it to a student...don't know where it is now, but you can bet it's probably still working...they were made pretty tough.

Strange when we think back at the stuff we cobbled together, and now, we can get it all and much more in one mid-line (or less) arranger.

Not to mention the money we save...to spend on more things.

I'm just as out of control as you.
