It sounds like the product never made it very far beyond the prototype
stages.  It looks like the company toned things down, and made a wooden
piano-action keyboard, which turned up in the Kurzweil MIDIboard, and maybe
the Synclavier.  For all we know, the notebender prototype is now in Hal's
basement, next to the K150 repair parts.
