Can I ask you something? How did you make this keyboard? Did you have to drill a hole in the back? I'm asking because I want to do this same thing with my own keyboard and would rather not have to resort to drilling a hole in it.
I converted a Hammond B3 into a keytar, of course I'm in a wheelchair now, Leslie rotor caught me right across the back of the neck. I'll be back playing though, just as soon as I get this puncture fixed.
I turned my Nord lead into a keytar... I love the unique factor. Why buy a keytar, when we can change any keyboard (that weighs less than 30 pounds) into a keytar!

I always did like a band with lots of percussions. Keep up the good work.

Hi,
All I did was find where the keyboard itself was attached to and /through the body..Generally about 8 screws are used for this.
Remove and replace two of those screws at either end with longer ones and add washers to keep strap attached..
That was the easy part..

Hi Jaan0,

Hope fully usb wireless soon..

Thanks!!!
Nope, no back-up rig so far, ( however if I was on the road more, I definately believe in at least 2 of everything)
So far things have been very smooth.. No crashes/ or other tech issues on stage..
Kinda unreal... considering i use a lot of different "3rd party" plugs..
Cheers,
