Happy Holidays to you too. I love Christmas. Next year the kids won't believe in Santa anymore. :-( But it was good while it lasted.

I need to find a link to the lego harpsichord. Had problems because the string tension was like 1800 pounds ...

Quote
I had hoped to reproduce a piano, but ditched the idea due to the enormous tension involved (40,000 lbs.)--there's a reason why pianos have steel frames.  Its ancestor, the harpsichord, seemed more practically possible--the key/jack workings are simple levers, the strings are plucked, it's smaller, and it maintains less tension.  Coincidentally, I was in my Bach phase anyways.

Yeah, merry Christmas everyone.
Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

It would be nice if Santa filled his bags with mechanical keyboards instead of toys and dropped them off at my home.
