Does anybody have any other exotic concoction theyve devised to keep their board safe. My board is a cat magnet. |

MoGut, my cover is a holdover from my Motif classic. Picked it up at Guitar Center: I believe that’s where you got your ‘board. It’s made by Keywear. It couldn’t have cost very much… |

If i asked my wife to make me a dust cover, it would reveal the fact that I worry about dust on my motif, and not anywhere else. ...know what I mean? :o |

keyfax.com used to carry “Yamaha brand” stretchy covers that prohibited dust from getting into musical equipment. But, apparently they no longer carry them.
Here is one site for covers and if you Google aggressively

wow! a Tyros AND a MOTIF_XS i will always be wishing for a 88-key balanced hammer Tyros, sure it will be $5,000 USD, so what, Tyros sounds are voondayybarr! Tyros_3 piano is amazing. I know their arranger keyboards really sell well in Europe, but heck, Korg went out on a limb with their $10,000 dollar 88-kay Karma. ‘cmon Yamaha, just for me!! make at least make ONE 88-key, balanced hammer Tyros_8 [yeah let’s call it Tyros_8] just for me!
IMPORTANT:
But having serious HEPA filtration in your studio area will not only save your equipment’s life, but probably add years to your own mortality. Check out places like QVC.com and HSN.com where you can buy air filtration systems. I got THREE units on flex-pay of $44 USD a month (total $179) How much is your equipment (and your lungs) worth?? ;;cheers;; |

I purchased the fine Gator GKC1648 88-Key Keyboard Cover
Gator introduces one of two new Keyboard Covers, the GKC1648 for 88 note keyboards. This exciting new dust cover is constructed of incredibly stretchy lycra / spandex. An adjustable shock cord is designed to assure a snug, skin-like fit. Stretchy Gator Keyboard covers protect your keyboard from dust-related damage with amazing style.

Oh woops sorry, my bad!! I chose to copy and paste the verbage right off the Gator Website. Anyway, it’s new and exciting to me, and it looks awesome, stretched so tight over the body of my XF 8.
For this Motifator site, in my mind of high stature, to be here to help us all grow and learn, there seems to be several sticks in the mud who thrive on critisism and negative feed back.
Be kind, rewind!! Chas Image Attachments
