Hi Joe and welcome!
If you're handy with a hammer it should'nt be too much of a problem.
There are simple programs that will tell you the positioning of the keys
and its reasonably easy to make and fit them.
There a number of builders on the group, I'm sure there's plenty of good
advice along the way
Certainly a diatonic key board is a little limiting but you can still play
plenty of tunes with one.
My dulcimers are all built with diatonic fretting, its what everyone is
used to.
