Ed,
OK, the plot thickens (sickens? ;^)) --
>C to C inclusive measured over 5 octaves:
>Yahama AN1x - 32 1/2"
Yamaha AN1x - 32 1/2" (confirmed -- proves our yardsticks/eyes are working
the same!)
>Korg 01/W Pro - 32 1/2"
The new KORG CX-3 is 33 3/16". So, a KORG is not a KORG is not a KORG ...
>Notice how the Japanese companies have the narrower width.
But my Roland HP-3500s (home-style version of the RD-300) measures 33" even ...
>So, it seems you have questioned a standard which is not a standard.
Agreed, although it seems that something in the range of 33.0 - 33.5" seems
to be about the norm -- if such a term can be bantered about:
Roland HP-3500s 33.00"
KORG CX-3 33.19"
Mehlin Grand 33.25"
General Music CD10 33.31"
Ensoniq KT-76 33.44"
I don't have my Fatar anymore, but they are also based in Italy, and have
made keyboards for Peavey, General Music, and Ensoniq, so it was probably
somewhere around the KT-76/CD10 range, too.
Regards,
-BW
