[sdiy] Synth. Keyboards (was: Death of DIY?) long ones

Glen,

" ... why has no one sold a MIDI keyboard with a full 128 keys, to
cover the full 128-note range of MIDI? (I've always been tempted to
build one of my own someday."

Six Octaves just about covers the functional range of hearing (based at
16Hz) a 128 key MIDI clavier would be a test instrument.

Also, why has no one sold a MIDI keyboard with a full 128 keys, to
cover the full 128-note range of MIDI? (I've always been tempted to
build one of my own someday.)

Also, why are all the synth keyboards with more than 61 keys built
with weighted, piano-like keys? Surely, there are some synth players
who would like a synth keyboard with a light touch, and more than 61
keys?

Also, why weren't dual keyboard controllers more popular? I can
remember the Prophet 10, but I don't know if anyone made another
synth with dual keyboards.

Also, how many times can I start a sentence with the same word in
the same post?  ;)


take care,
Glen
