[sdiy] Where to buy keybed ?

[Jack Jackson]

Nice link Tom! If you don't mind second hand stuff you can sometimes find keybeds from parted out home organs on eBay. I got a couple of 80s Farfisa keybeds this way.

It's a little sad for the home organ enthusiasts, but they're currently worth peanuts second hand. Often just given away. I do wonder if they will pick up value down the road at any point.

Best Regards,
Jack
