Dear All,
I have started to build a four manual VPO which will use the Willis Hereford software. Having played the real thing, and sung in the Cathedral many times, it is very close to my heart. I have acquired a 32 note oak pedalboard which is as new, and am converting it to MIDI. However, I have searched endlessly on the internet looking at various keyboards, and am worried as to which ones to choose. I have a Hammond SK which uses a Fatar keyboard which is lovely to play, but I have noticed recently that some of the keys are noisy. This isn't really a problem but I would rather it was quiet like it was when I bought it. So I was thinking, is this something that is inherent with Fatar. I have looked at UHT, but can't find a price from them, PMK, but I am unsure of the quality etc, etc.
So, I though I would seek some advice from experienced people that are on this forum. What is the best value keyboard? I hear UHT are the best, but at an unrealistic price of £2500 each, and seeing as I will need four, thats a lot of money for 244 notes. So what does everyone use for their own instruments?
I would very much value your opinions and suggestions as it will be a significant investment, and I don't want to buy the wrong thing or waste money on a product I'm not happy with.
Thank you in advance.
Mike
