I've seen clear plastic covers for Yamaha on Amazon.

I went to a fabric store and bought a few yards of clear plastic.

Took it home- cut to fit to my K88.

Easy. Cheap.

Great advice. That's what I'll be doing.
Save a quid or two .

I used this for my K88

Not the cheapest but made to your measurements, good quality and heavy duty.

To stop the joy sticks getting pressure from the heavy duty cover I cut short sections (just a bit longer than the joy sticks) of 15mm pipe lagging foam, which fit over them and take the weight of the cover. Also stops the cover 'dimpling' at these points.

I have an 88 key I use on my Kronos, it's a little long and not cat claw proof. If anyone wants it, PM me I will ship it for the price of postage.

I just went with the least expensive thing I could find. I bought some clear plastic painters drop sheets, cut them to fit and used duct tape on the corners. They're not cat proof but my cats know better. BTW They're names are Dinner and Mittens! Just kidding.

If you know someone who sews, the classy solution is to take a black sheet and hem some elastic in the ends. Make it loose enough to accommodate cords without putting any pressure on them.

Of course, a custom logo/embroidery wouldn't hurt. :)

It's included in the packaging,
the sheet of plastic folded in half
and cut appropriately..
