Wow, do you mean a full octave below the standard lowest A0 key on pianos? If yes, then it means 1/2 of 27.5 Hz, or 13.75 Hz. And that’s if using a chromatic tuner. When taking into account the inharmonicity of the piano strings (which is why an aural tuning or special piano tuning app that records and measures the inharmonicity are the norm), then a stretch on both sides is needed with low piano keys becoming even lower. The fundamental is well beyond human hearing limits. I guess you’d only be left with hearing the upper partials. Is the idea behind those ultra-low keys to only add resonances when used with sustain pedal or these keys can also be used for playing? -

Yes -- The bands are essentially shut down today. Last night I worked 5 countries including Australia barefoot from Iowa (both of us). Amazing the effect! I did make a 900 mi QSO into Georgia tonight on FT8 -- most seem to be NA and NA-SA. -

Yep, bad guys will find out who is their real boss. -

Ah, clearly I am not up to date. Gave the new Crumar Classic a look - does sound pretty good, and quite a bit cheaper, but not a full set of drawbars, and still looks a bit ugly. And there's another thread on the forum right now about how Crumar's still have reliability issues and static discharges - might be a false economy going for the cheaper brand

I remember seeing the ads in Keyboard and a picture of the Odyssey on the Musicians Friend catalog. I really wanted one but ended up with the MiniMoog because it was available. In the late 70's you didn't have a lot of choices in a small rural town. Was very interested when this came out but reviews of the horrible touch pads scared me away. Wish it had more jacks for interfacing with the Behringer 2600. Still, maybe someday. Wonder how it compares to the Korg version? -
Carlo, you make that Oddy sound fabulous! I have a black-face Oddy and Axxe in my garage, have had both since the '80's, and both need new sliders, probably new caps, and a ton of cleaning. But hearing you play it made me feel nostalgic for that sound! Given the price of the Behringer, it'll probably be cheaper to just buy a new one than to fix mine. -

OT - just a comment on the original white face Oddy - I modified mine so I had an octave up/down switch. Also changed the pitch knob to one which had a notch sticking out so that I could curl my little finger round it and be confident that I could return it to the neutral position. And I managed to rewire the modulation slider on the first oscillator so that the second oscillator modulated too. It was all very ambitious of me, with not much real understanding of what I was doing, but it worked nicely. i hung onto it for years, only selling it off about 10 years ago. Nowadays I occasionally use the app on the iPad. It’s close enough for me.
