via this VEMIA auction"The way to get that classic Yamaha CS80 sound without risking a hernia or having to take out a mortgage. Exactly the same sound generation boards, and in a way, the sound is so huge that four voices is pretty damn full enough anyway. Some people also prefer the lighter touch keys - which still feel excellent quality, like all the hardware on these monsters. This is in perfect working order, sounding superb. It has its legs and music stand, which fasten into the lid (luckily also provided.....). The only thing missing for a complete system is a foot pedal. Cosmetically it is nice but with some negatives. Worst of all, the college to whom it originally belonged had its name and postcode engraved to the right of the front panel - see the picture. There's some wear to the left of the panel, too, by the block diagram. The chrome of the legs and music stand is less than perfect, too - not very bright, with some superficial rust when you look closely. The rest of the case hardware is rather more pleasing. But you buy this range for its sound, and the sound and playability of this CS-50 are awesome. A superb instrument!"
