BARE KEYBOARDS

[Jeffry James]

All,

>Where are you located and how much would these Controllers run me?

>I'm wondering how much you would charge for some of those keyboards.

I am located in Toronto, Canada.
I have "ideal" prices posted on my page and they range from < $100 to $400 U.S.

>I am looking for one of these *organ* (not synth) style keyboards from Fatar.
>As far as I've seen on your page, you don't have one of these. But aparently
>you have good contact to Fatar (?) - how did you get the ones you have ?
>I asked them at Frankfurt Musikmesse, but they would not sell to private
persons...

...Jeff adds: ..and if they did, single unit orders are costly.

Over the years I have bought and collected these keyboards from development
companies I have worked for.  The wooden keyboards, for example, are made of
wood especially good for keyboards, imported from England and cut for
electronic organ manuals.

One contact I had was with a U.S. importer "Lo Duca Bros., Inc." who were
wholesale distributors for Italian produced keyboards.  My notes tell me
that I last talked with them May 6, 1991.  Their address then was:
400 N. Broadway, Milwaukee, WI 53202, phone 414-347-1400
Who knows if they are still around?  It was from them, an electronic organ
manufacturer I was working for, ordered a surplus of plastic, 5 octave
*organ*? style keyboards.  I have one of these on hand and a lead on 100's
more from the organ company--but one would have to make up their own
switches.  I have no picture or drawing.  (I am not aware of any difference
between a 5 octave plastic synth keyboard and a 5 octave platic organ keyboard.)

Jeff.
