leeboy Senior Member Registered: 10/09/04 Posts: 2580 Loc: Ocala, FL USA	Maybe you could change the keybed to a 76 or even a 88 hammer action?? Food for thought... Lee _________________________ Lee S.

Bill Lewis Senior Member Registered: 11/12/08 Posts: 2442 Loc: Bluffton/Hilton Head SC USA	Great work, even with some primitive tools. I also wonder why mfg. don't offer module versions of their keyboards. Then you would have the option of choosing the kdybedmyou like. There still seems to be demand for the Roland BK7M.

tony mads usa Senior Member Registered: 01/16/02 Posts: 14376 Loc: East Greenwich RI USA	It would be nice to know what parts of those internal boards he got rid of and what function, if any, they served ... Yes, Bill, I too was wondering why he wasn't using power saws etc. _________________________ t.

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15560 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	He is in Russia, which could explain the use of hand tools only. Power tools are very expensive in Northern Europe, from what I have been told by friends that lived there.

abacus Senior Member Registered: 07/21/05 Posts: 5347 Loc: English Riviera, UK	Northern Europe is big area so making a claim that it the same in all countries because someone you know happed to stay in one particular country in Europe really is nonsense. (For the record power tools are not that expensive in most parts of Europe) Power tools have their place but if you have fine tolerances (And with circuit boards and pressed/moulded parts you do) then hand tools are much more efficient.
