I want to re-arrange the keys in a DVORAK format. I see that this comes with a key puller. Are all keys pullable, and are all keys uniform(not slant)?

The keys on the QFR and all of CM Storm's mechanical keyboards are sculpted keys which means that each row has a different profile. All keys are removable and the larger ones such as backspace, enter, shift and the spacebar use costar plate mount stabilizers. If you want to use the Dvorak layout with a QFR, I would recommend investing in a set of DSA profile keycaps compatible with the Cherry MX switch stem. There are several sets available through group buys on both Deskthority.org and Geekhack.org for DSA profile keycaps. DSA profile is uniform allowing alternative layouts such as Dvorak, Colmak, and others. Hopefully this is enough information to point you in the right direction. Cheers.

Not sure I can help much, since I have not really used this keyboard yet and it's been a long time since I've played a piano. However, the keys appear to me to be full size (something that I considered important to me also) and there is a moderate amount of resistance when pressing them. But, although the keys are not just floppy loose, I have no problem depressing them. Can't you give it a try and return it if not satisfied?

The recorders I'm familiar with have had the same fingering as a sax, but without the little-finger-key options for flats/sharps (leaving a higher hole open instead of depressing a levered key with the little finger). I don't think you'll have any problem with it.

The keys are shorter than most controllers. Synths/controller keys in general are a little smaller than piano keys (including better digital pianos), and A-500 and A800 are even smaller. That's why I sold mine. Really disliked the short keys. Disappointing, is superb controller for my DAW (Sonar), very good keyboard bed / action and quality (in my limited experience)... just... shorty keys.

There are seperate models for keyboard and guitar. Be sure and order the correct one.

Maybe there are less expensive higher-function keyboards out there, but I have not found them. I used my first digital keyboard (61 keys) for 15 years.... the only reason I moved up earlier last year was to get a 77-key model. As I recall, most sounds and ryhthms were the same. The biggest change was a shift from a MIDI interface to a USB. I think this model is good for another dozen years.

It works well for me. I have 2 Korg workstations 88 keys and 61 keys. It's a little tight but with the smaller one on the top at just about level, it works. There is a little room for modification if you're okay with that.

It has precisely the same sound as the rest of the keys. I complained earlier that keys were sticking with increased regularity. A few months into using it, this sticking problem seems to have worked itself out. I do not know whether this is a result of a break in period or change of season. :) I am happy with the keyboard's performance now and would recommend its purchase.

Thanks much. I bit the bullet and I just received my Intuos 4. Looking forward to it. Im starting off with Sketchbook Pro and can see how the keys will be very useful once I customize it.Thanks again for the comments.

There's isn't an fn key like on other keyboards. Instead there is a little switch in the top right that accomplishes the fn key's purpose. It switches between multimedia (volume, play, etc.) and the typical F keys. With the keyboard switched to multimedia keys, everything seems to work fine with OS X as far as I've tried. Also, once you remap Command and Option to be swapped in Keyboard preferences, it's just like an Apple keyboard. I'm quite happy with it.

As DS-1H is Korg, it should work without any extra configuration. I have a different model of keyboard, but I think, your piano must have a Global settings or something similar. There you can find the damper pedal configuration. Select the right polarity to have the correct response. I hope it helps.

Is it fixed? Bit of a typo on your question I think you missed the "d". If that is what you meant it does unscrew at the base of the sphere, however I have tuned 3 pianos from a 1923 baby grand Brambach to a 1963 Cable upright and it has work great on all of them. It's got a star shaped slot that is quasi-universal. It does telescope as well however if THATS what you meant. Hope I didn't sound too pretentious and I could help. The kit overall is great quality. The best for the money that I could find. If you are just starting out the only other thing you may want is a couple more wedge mutes (although they aren't really all that necessary). And a good book. "Piano Servicing, Tuning, and Rebuilding" by Arthur A. Reblitz is a fantastic resource with just about everything you need to know, then some. There are also great practice exercises for the beginning tuner.

I'm not a musician, bought a Yamaha Alto recorder (YRA-312B Key 'F') for my daughter. Are Alto recorders available in any key other than 'F'? All the Yamaha Alto recorders that I manage to find online as well as on Yamaha catalogue "OM84R3_recorders_eu.pdf" are in Key 'F'. So not the most appropriate answer for your question but key 'F' may be the only available option.

Can you just turn it around so the curve is in the same place as your keyboard curve? Can anyone try that and let me know how it works?

The piano will adjust the touch to a degree and compared with many other digital pianos it feels close to a regular piano. The piano does transpose and I used this feature a few times. However, if there is a way to know what key you are changing to, I haven't figured it out. The instruction manual is not thorough. As I said you can change the key but you have very little control as to what key.

I am not a professional so please take it for what it is worth. I believe it has 101 sounds or more, I have the instrument packed away for the moment. I really p I've the piano sounds fantastic to me. I really am not qualified to give you the best advise pertainf this but all the instruments in the keyboard are close to what I know. Hope that helps, you probably better off soulistening to it yourself. If I get a chance to pull it out I will make a video of the sounds. Can't make promises .

I ordered four of these units and they all came with two keys. All of the keys are identical and will work in any of the four units. As far as making copies, I don't have an answer. The keys look fairly simple and do not say 'DO NOT DUPLICATE' anywhere on them.
