All right, it seems that 5-octave F-to-F keyboards don't exist (people are incredibly stupid, since that gives you a far more usable compass than 5-octave C-to-C).
Does anyone know of decent 88-key keyboards with no bells and whistles, that I could load a Hauptwerk sample set into and that has a decent action? There are so many options with 88 keys in such a wide price range that I'm overwhelmed. This would be used by players with real sensitivity to touch, as the players will normally be playing non- electronic keyboards (organ and harpsichord, not piano), so the better the touch the more desirable it would be (and not necessarily a piano touch). What I'm finding is a bunch of crappy electronic organ/harpsichord devices that have the proper keyboards, but don't use single samples for every pipe/key. I can't quite understand the product space here. It seems that nobody really makes anything at a professional level of quality in both keyboard and sound output. Hence, my attempts to cobble together a keyboard/sound sample combination that is decent for use as a continuo instrument in rehearsals until our real instruments are repaired. -- David W.
