    Introducing Doug Hall, keyboard builder

    Hello all. I found this forum by searching for curved keyboards. What I've found seems like a great place to bounce a few ideas around. I am building an ergonomic keyboard, the likes of which you may never have seen before. Please feel free to visit my Facebook profile until I have uploaded more photos here. I think you will appreciate the pipe organ building applications, as this keyboard of mine is basically reverse engineered from a 1950's Mohler pipe organ console. The pedals which have a few interesting additions are a 1920's unmarked, probably Mohler pedalboard which matches but predates the ergonomic standard set by the AGO. There are 481 keys on three levels, (four manuals) and a xylophone that will be a precisely pitched instrument and a MIDI controller. I will add my facebook profile link.
