Yes, I have always read great things about them, and I certainly have no reservations about the company. Again, my interest is in looking for the blank keyboards. I work for a technology company full time and I do a lot of soldering, wiring, circuitry, etc. and I just tend to enjoy the meticulous side of this just as much as the actual organ playing, and as a result, I'm just curious if it's even possible to get my hands on 3 to 4 of those blank keyboards, and I will do the electronics myself. Really, a 3 or 4 manual stack of any kind, regardless of builder, but in great shape is what I'm actually interested in.
If it ends up being impossible, I am certainly not opposed to just buying them pre-done by MidiWorks. But I'd certainly like to see what's possible. I have looked at several distressed organ consoles - an old 4-manual Moller, recently - that would have been a viable candidate, but the monumental task of actually moving and dismantling the console - on the 3rd floor of a building with no usable elevator - made that impossibly daunting.
My interest in Fatar comes by way of their recommendation from many people here on the forums. I am not opposed to other brands/manufacturers/etc. I just want to do away with my 4 M-Audio Keystations, and move my instrument into a new console.
