[CAUT] Yamaha CP-80..yup!

[Phil Romano]

Michele,

The bottom half (keyboard section) has some screws that hold in the
"stretcher" (black and silver piece with name logo). Loosen those and
remove stretcher. Action has screws that hold it in place. Remove those
and lift the action out. I think I have the service manual around here
somewhere. If I can find it I'll let you know. They used to be available
from Yamaha for around $75! Probably not anymore.

I own two CP-70Bs. I have moved and tuned these things more times than I
care to remember. It was a brilliant design for it's time. Of course,
tuning the bass will drive you nuts!

Yeah- I bought one!!

:D

And yeah- it does hinge back- but I wouldn't call it flopping. For the
flop-ee weighs over 200 POUNDS!!!!

Never mind stage hands and road dogs- this is in my home.
Todd and my cat won't help I'm afraid..
So I can't easily pull the action out like on a grand?

:(
