Re: [DW8000] Re: are the keys on DW8000 and DW6000 the same

Thank you Chris for the info!
 
So I don't have to bid on a cheap DW6000 on ebay.

I've just resurrected a dead DW8000 this (UK) lunch time -  (a blown
7805 regulator for the digital side FWIW).  I also modified a DW6000
recently and cleaned the keyboard contacts as well taking off all the
keys.

The DW8000 has a very different keyboard - different as can be from a
DW6000.

The 8000 has velocity and after touch and lead weights in the keys.
The 6000 has neither.  They fix to the key bed frame differently and
have different springs.  The 6000 is more conventional as it were with
a coil spring at the end of the key.  The 8000 has a U shaped metal
strip under the key for the spring.

So in answer to your question - No - Sorry :S

Chris
