[sdiy] Analog polyphony question

[Tony Allgood]

Hi Don and all,

>I've never physically opened one up, but I would think the major
reason for the PolyMoog's weight is that it's built with a separate PC
board for each key.

I think the main reason for the weight of the thing is the keyboard
itself. Each key is loaded with lead weights epoxied into place.
Removing the keyboard makes the instrument feel about half the weight.

The other thing is the front panel and supporting chassis. This is a
sizeable piece of steel.
