>I was told years ago, that FATAR's main business is making keyboard beds, their other products stem from that product.

Yes, Fatar makes or has made keybeds for most of the big names. I know that both the CX-3 and NE2 have a Fatar keybed in them, as did the Peavey DPM series. I've got to the point where I can spot the Fatar "look" in the key mechanism.

In fact, Fatar didn't even start making keyboard products until the late' 80s, IIRC. I used to own a Studio 88, which was one of their earlier hammer-weighted keyboards. It had a nice feature of being built into a flight case. Just pop the lid, and it was ready to play. (I don't know if it was really ATA-safe, though!)
