Summary: A good place to get dust covers...

It's nice to know that even the little  fly-by-night-looking ads
in Keyboard occasionally give you your money's worth.  

I own a DX7 which I use at home exclusively (i.e. no talent for performing).
Thought it would be nice to have a dust cover that would flip out of the way
when the machine was in use, without having to remove it entirely. 

Small ad in Keyboard (October 85?) proclaimed "Custom-made satin dust covers".
I sent in the dimensions of the machine, plus a suggested design that could
be easily opened to expose the keyboard and buttons, without removal of the
whole sleeve.  Paid my thirty bucks and prepared to kiss it goodbye.  

Was pleasantly surprised when, five weeks later, I received 
a *spiffy* black satin dust cover
that fit all of my requirements, although using a totally different design.
I assumed that it was their standard design anyway.    

Was even more pleasantly surprised when the covering letter arrived the
next day apologising for the different design, stating that they had
designed this one for my needs, (and giving instructions on how to use it
that way), and adding that if I preferred, I could exchange it for
their standard design, which "has pockets like a fitted bedsheet", or
for a design of my own choosing.  Not bad for a no-name fly-by-night!

If anyone is interested, the company's name is

	Keypro,  P.O. box 688535, Indianapolis, In. 46268.

They want $25 US and the dimensions of your machine.  Recommended.
