- sold Yamaha CS70M to an Ottawa collector; sad to see it go after owning it for 36 years, buying it second hand at Keen Kraft Music (when it still existed); it is in very good condition, with only a few signs of its age. It's mostly lived in my studio all this time and is really my only "big analog synth" I've owned. Very sad about it.
