According to both manuals that I have of the KN6000 and KN7000, you are correct by what the manufacturer states but the KN6000 is not that high. I just checked, again and it is just about 6-1/4 inches and not 7-7/8 inches.
Joan, you bring up a good point about manufacturers stating design and specifications may change without notice. Perhaps there were some changes made though that can be quite costly. I believe my KN6000 was a very early one. Nevertheless, mistakes are made in listings. Before buying the KN7000, on the KN7000 Canada website, here are the measurements given for the KN7000: 106.3cm x 20.0cm x 41.8cm (41-27/32" X 7-7/8" X 16-15/32") We know that they are wrong.
Another possibility of changes made. On eBay, there are many cases listed for the KN7000. Almost every seller states to be sure and check your KN7000 size to make sure it fits because there are no refunds. It is understandable that one would want to make sure a case is the right size for your keyboard but these listings are for the KN7000. One would think they would automatically fit. So, the question: Did the company make changes on these boards?
