Klingt alles sehr kompliziert. Man kann sich nur Gemshorns Wunsch anschließen, dass die Hersteller gleich hochwertige Tastaturen einbauen, dann erübrigt sich der aufwändige Austausch.

It is likely that the manufacturer or retailer has already assembled the new keyboards on the new chassis, with the side and faceplates fitted. In this case, the replacement operation with the old keyboards would be much simpler: remove a few cables, unscrew a few screws and extract the complete keyboard assembly.
Insert the new keyboard assembly, connect the cables, check the alignment with the cabinet and secure it with the new screws.

Das mit dem "vehementen Pochen" ist natürlich eine Frage der Machtverhältnisse am Markt. Das ist doch vermutlich ähnlich wirksam wie wenn du in der aktuellen Marktsituation deinem Autohändler drohst, aufgrund der langen Lieferzeiten jetzt lieber zur Konkurrenz zu gehen. Der sagt dann: prima, viel Spaß und viel Glück... (etwas überspitzt vielleicht).

Was wäre also der Hebel mit dem man droht/ pocht? Die Orgel überhaupt nicht zu kaufen?

I believe that as long as keyboards are available as OEM components (aka Fatar), manufacturers will hardly offer only high quality keyboards.
The quality is paid for, and a very high quality keyboard costs a lot, and this cannot be amortized even with high production numbers (numbers which, however, as far as digital organs are concerned, are much lower than the production of acoustic pianos).
Keyboards of various qualities makes a certain sense in the variegated world of digital organs: in my opinion it doesn't make much sense to install UHT keyboards as standard in the Chorum 40, but it can make sense to install them on request (even if the same option would cost more than the whole instrument).

Naja, UHTs müssen es ja nicht sein. Aber ich fände es schon anzustreben, dass alles so ab Mittelklasse aufwärts standardmäßig zumindest auf dem Niveau der TP60LW bedient wird. Ob das nun auch bei einer Einsteigerorgel wie Johannus Studio oder Gloria Cantus sein muss - vermutlich nicht.

D'accord, Gemshorn!

...At one time these keyboards had a full metal chassis and were structurally very rigid (when mounted on early Ahlborn Hymnus for example).
Now, with the plastic chassis, they will always to flex in the middle during use, and the keys will have a kind of rebound due to this elasticity of the chassis.
I had to insert a reinforcement bar along the entire length of the II and III manual to make them more rigid (the I keyboard is already resting on the wooden shelf and does not suffer from this problem)

It is a problem of Fatar, or rather, of all keyboards with plastic chassis.
AWK and UHT do not suffer from this problem.

Thanks! So, the steps are clear: (1) get rich quick, (2) forget about Fatar :D

and here we go with a console built as it should, with all keyboards easily accessible for maintenance

building in this way does not cost more.

Wenn ich mich nicht vertu, ist das doch Richard McVeigh's BiS-Orgel. Von allem das Feinste, und mit den extralangen Tasten aus der UHT-Renatus-Serie?
