YoGaBaR:
That's an awesome idea!!
If you were using wood I would definitely use a strong door hinge and not use MDF but a good 7 layer plus plywood. Maybe 3/4 cabinet grade AC. Where it would be smooth on one side and have between 11-15 layers. I would think the CP is going to be heavy. Screws may rip right out of the wood if you don't have a strong enough board or even bolt the hinges.
Sorry just my 2 pennies of thought.

Best of luck, a very ambitious project. Look forward to see how it turns out.

Looks real nice, keep us updated. Any reason players 3 and 4 have all those buttons?

Good point, but I also need to keep this light. So I opted to go with 1/2" instead. I should be able to add bracing for strength and still keep the weight under than if the CP was made from 3/4"
