Gary, spoke to Larry, Lecover is bit more... have you or anyone owned them both? My guess is go with better price (Larry)?The stretchy ones are useless. They are dust sponges.
The Yamaha one looks decent but do you really want a Yamaha Logo on your gear?
The other two guys I listed make quality products, with or without custom embroidery as per your order.
I've dealt with Larry at LeCover many times.
Just call him on his Illinois number during a weekday after 10 AM CT and he'll fix you right up.
He's very hands on and does a great job of making and shipping quality custom dust covers.
He's a small businessman who goes the extra mile for his clients.

I've bought over a dozen covers from Larry over the past two decades.
I bought one cover from the other guys last month for my minilogue.
I'd say LeCover is the better quality of the two.

Overworking the cable jacks can lead to other serious problems anyway

My Yamaha DGX 600 series is many years old, & Juno DS-88 1 year old. Both weighted keys, Yamaha has on board speakers, none w Juno! Juno superior tones/voices, though
Hard to recall mid-song. Must save best voices to favorites & punch in w pads!
If you gig & move it around you have a sound system that interfaces; Roland better there! If sitting in home & Learning, Yamaha a better smaller package! Keep playing & move along = best advice. Your music is you!

I bought a DGX 660 brand new in 2017.
All I can usefully say, is that it wasn't a good buy. The arranger capabilities are very limited, and the compatibility with other music files (even Yamaha ones) is lamentable.
Great to play, but as an arranger keyboard, forget it.

OTOH, even if DGX660 is limited as an arranger, if it is arranger features you are looking for, it is still more of an arranger than the DS88. If an 88-key arranger is what you want, I don't know if there's anything else you could have gotten in the same price range that would have been better. I guess Casio PX360 was the competitor that has arranger features, but I don't think its arranger features are any better, maybe even not as good, I"m not sure, I've never looked into that in detail. A relatively low cost 88-key arranger would be Korg Havian 30, which is discontinued now. Still pricier than the Yamaha/Casio though.

As you have not been here for a couple of days I presume that all your spare time is taken getting to grips with the Juno.
How is it going?

Looking at the pictures, I notice that the keyboard is sitting off center a fair bit.
If possible, you may want to widen the stand another 4 or 5 inches and center the board a bit better.
Otherwise if you play crescendo on the top octaves it could tip.

I just measured my stand. I have the outside width set to 27.5 inches.
That should hold your DS88 quite securely in most conditions.

Thanks, Gary, I called ON Stage and they said the width (not height), does not change, fixed, so I assume all same right?
It widens? This OnStage rep was long winded dude. Can you send a screenshot? Right jiggles a bit, but tightened it. Still jiggles just a tad, but don't think big deal..
Also where do you put the board, in front, center, back, does that matter?
Also: I the headphone jack will now share the headphones for weekends, nights and speakers, get one of these?
Do they make these with an A/B switch on it?
