Seaboard Grand

[sean429]

Found this new approach to keyboard design http://pro-music-news.com/html/04/e40114ro.htm

It appears that the Seaboard is available and allows for very rich expression.
QAny information welcome

UGGGH! Almost $9000 for a first edition 88 Seaboard...

I'll stick to banging garbage can lids and a kazoo thanks

EDIT >>> Then again on the plus side I think you can spill a beer on it without doing any harm

$9000????!!!

Crikey. Well it's certainly not going to take off at that price!

Looks like the company behind the Seaboard, ROLI, have received £12.8m of investment... it will be interesting to see what happens. I can't imagine it ever becoming a main steam instrument, but who knows!

Interesting video of it being played too.
