[sdiy] Lookin for parts, keyboards ++

[patchell]

    Anything I have to say on this subject is probably not going to help you
much, since you are in Europe...

    But, your best bet for getting a keyboard is salvage.  Here in the states,
at least in California, it is almost imposble to even give away old organs, so
it is posible to pick up one fairly cheap.  Old keyboard synths are another good
source of course (just don't destroy a clasic).

    Once in a blue moon oportunities come along as well...a nearby (to me)
surplus store had Fatar keyboards, but, depending on where you are, this could
be a long wait.

    You might also try to locate places that sell replacement parts for old
organs.

    Who knows, you might even be able to get Fatar to sell you keyboards...(and
if you do, let us know how you did it ).

    I wish I could be of more help...I can really kick myself for giving away
some of the Pratt-Read keyboards I used to have...
