MIDI Keyboard mod: Nektar SE61 to wood harpsichord

Almost all MIDI keyboards start and end on C. If you play harpsichord or other historical keyboards, you might rather have a keyboard starting and ending on F. Although you could get a 76-key keyboard starting on E, 76 keys are too many for historical instruments. 61 keys from F to F is an excellent range for a harpsichord (Bach's keyboard partitas call for such a keyboard, for example). Unfortunately, the action in most MIDI keyboards consists of individual keys with metal springs (Fatar action), which does not allow repositioning the keys to start at F. The Nektar SE61 is among those keyboards having a living-hinge action that does allow such repositioning (most Yamaha keyboards also use this system). Converting the Nektar SE61 to an F-F range can be done relatively easily, but there are a few tricky bits. If you follow the steps I show in the video, you can do it too. Building a wood enclosure and laminating the keys with real wood veneer takes some additional time, of course (in my case, a few weeks). I also show you how to do that. Playing on real wood feels so much better than plastic! Any questions: please ask in the comments.
