Nord User Forum

Hello,

does anyone know where to get individual keys for the Fatar TP/8O keybed (organ waterfall like i.e. in NS3 Compact, Electro 6D 73 etc), especially the D6 and C8 keys?

I searched the web but could not find a shop selling these waterfall keys as apre parts, just available for other keybeds like the TP/8S which is not a waterfall action.

Thanks and best regards

Schorsch

Is it for a Nord?

Don't you want to try with Sound Service GmbH (European Music Distribution) which is the distributor for Germany?

And did you ask at https://www.synth-parts.com/ ?

No it's not for a Nord (luckily), therefore haven't asked the Nord distributor.

It's for an organ with the same Fatar keybed like the Nord, so not a Nord issue but I was wondering if someone knows about sources for individual keys which are about to be replaced.

synth-parts,con is one of the shops I checked but is offering keys for Fatar TP/8S and TP/8+ only, no waterfall keys for TP/8O

... or put the Customer-Service of this famous company to a test and contact:
info@fatar.com

They will probably refer to someone in their distribution, but it´s worth trying.
Years ago with a Kurzweil, I´d once had been lucky and got a good recommendation from these guys.

But well - the recommendation that solved my problem was the same as FZiegler posted:

Gregor Walbeck is doing a really great job with his business!

Thanks Max, but as far as I see they offer full keybeds only, right? I just need the two keys D6 and C8 to be replaced since they are damaged

I think you're going too short if you only have a look online. I'd directly ask for what you need.

Sure, I’m gonna call synth-parts and see what they can do.

Asking Fatar directly is hopeless, contacted them about 4-5 times over the past couple of years and never got any kind of reply

Sorry Schorsch I misread the request , you can still ask but probably then you need to go to a spare parts reseller (Fatar is only b2b, they don't sell to consumers, only to OEM and resellers). Which organ are you trying to fix? You should ask that organ manufacturer first of all, in fact.
