The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

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
