David,
Every console has 73 keys. The first 12 are the presets, though. But
they are keys in every respect including size, mat'l, 9 bussbars, and
return spring. They just happen to latch down (easily defeated),
reversed color, and not wired into the TG (ok, this is a biggie :-),
but they provide the return matrix for the output.

The point is the cabinet is already set up for 73 keys -- I mounted
my MKB300 Roland 73 key controller in an old C cabinet -- so it's
just another configuration possibility.
