[sdiy] Keyboard assemblies?...

[Gene Stopp]

They're out there if you really want them...

I do think the MIDI-CV converter approach is very pragmatic these days.
Sometimes I think "naaah, don't build keyboard interfaces anymore, it's too
much trouble" (I get moody). Other times I think "hey - this is not just
rackmount-synth-moduleDIY dammit!".

Best Regards,

There are a LOT of old home organs being left at the curb these
days... ask some friends that drive trucks, etc to look out
for you.  If you can find one... the best tips come from the
sanitation workers who see this stuff every day...

(don't trash any hammond b3's...)

I would get a cheap Casio and a Midi Converter myself... even brand
new that could get you in the $150 class...
