I am looking for a reference (or an easy explanation) for the openness of the stable locus of a holomorphic family of (holomorphic) vector bundles on a compact Riemann surface parametrized by a (compact) complex manifold. For me, a holomorphic family of vector bundles on a compact Riemann surface $X$ parametrized by a (compact) complex manifold is just a holomorphic vector $E$ bundle over $T \times X$.
There is a proof in Narasimhan and Seshadri's paper "Stable and Unitary Vector Bundles on a Compact Riemann Surface" but the proof there depends on their proof of the unrelated theorem that describes stable vector bundles on a compact riemann surface via certain unitary representations of suitably defined fuchsian groups.
If there is a simpler proof in the case that all parametrized bundles are of degree zero I would like to know it.
EDIT: Note that I do not want to assume that $T$ and the vector bundle $E$ over $T \times X$ are algebraic. So e.g. Huybrechts-Lehn or Le Potier's "Lectures on Vector Bundles" aren't of any help to me, I think.
