I have recently packed away my Yamaha Genos and happily returned to a Tyros 4.
Being of an elderly age I struggled with the Genos in many ways. Anyway my reason for this post is to try and source a keyboard cover for the T4. I have tried all the usual trading sites ( E Bay. , Gumtree, etc ) but no luck. Any generic covers do not take into account the speakers, display etc. Can anyone help. Ps it's great to be back with the T4. It's an amazing keyboard.

Hi Technics

I made my own cover by buying just a metre of clear PVC plastic (I think it's 1mm) thick and just made folded corners on the front of the keyboard and then made cutouts to fit under the speakers.  I don't think it's really necessary to cover the speakers as the important place to keep dust out is the keybed. I actually had to open it up and clean dust from the keybed  when I bought and a couple of keys never worked it so a cover was essential.  I know they are old keyboards but in my opinion they are still the best Yamaha have ever made ..I turned down a Genos 2 (for a lot more money) in favour of my Tyros 4!!  Watch this video comparing the two ...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFx5Xw44oL4
