Hi Ed
The metal brackets were made by Stuart, I think. The magnets stay in place by their attraction to the metal piece they sit on. Moving the magnets on the metal is how they are adjusted, a process that must be done before the keyboard is mounted in the stack. Moving the keyboards, or jarring them, can get them out of adjustment, so the stack has to come apart to readjust things. The keyboards because of the magnets, are very heavy. The resulting tracker touch is very nice and the action is quite responsive and crisp, very much like a harpsichord that I have, though with more key dip. I like it very much, though I am tempted to put in springs to make the keys a little "heavier ". These are in an Allan console that I converted and is in Florida where I spend the winter. It took a lot of time to set them up, but I feel was very much worth it.
