The original dust cover for my old Casiotone CT-640 was showing its age. sunshine, heat, and moisture had taken its toll. So I decided to get a new one, and found Viktory[a], where you can order all kinds of dust covers, as well as custom made ones. Since I provided Viktory with the measurements, you can have a cover for your Casiotone CT-640[b], too!

1. Precision
How well was my order carried out? Already when I put the cover over the keyboard I noticed it was a bit big in some places. I measured the seams on the delivered cover and this is the result:
| Measure | Ordered | Delivered |
|---|---|---|
| Width (A) | 93 cm | 94 cm |
| Height (front, F) | 6 cm | 5.5 cm |
| Height (back, C) | 7 cm | 9.5 cm |
| Depth (top, E) | 33 cm | 33 cm |
| Depth (bottom, B) | 32 cm | 32 cm |
The depth was perfect, both the top and bottom, but both the width and the height ended up a bit off. First, while the width was 1 cm too large this actually saved the cover from being too small. A 93 cm wide cover would have to be stretched over the keyboard, since inner seams must be allowed for. Second, the front height was 0.5 cm too short, and again this works out perfect as when the cover settles on the keyboard the front edge of the cover is exactly at the bottom. The only measurement that can be said to be worse than specified is the back height: with 2.5 cm extra, the cover must be tucked in a bit in order for it not to catch on the rails that the keyboard tray is on.
