_Universal Keyboard Upgrade for ARP  2600, Odyssey...  

Removes the "teething troubles" of the Pratt-Read keyboard used in many ARP synthesizers

The rickety keyboard of ARP synthesizers
The keyboards used by ARP have the annoying problem that the keyboard bushings (rubber mufflers, small parts inside the keyboard) get brittle by aging. The result is the typical "sticky" keyboard which cannot be played properly anymore. Beside the technical insufficiency, the optical impression is influenced negatively, too (As you can see in the right hand picture). 

A temporary solution
You can still buy and retrofit the rubber mufflers, but the problem of aging appears after short time again. Therefore we looked for a durable solution.

We offer the durable solution 
Our Universal Keyboard Upgrade replaces the permanently delicate rubber parts with durable materials. So you can forget about the annual service of your keyboard and you synthesizer always feels as good as new. On the right side you can see a customer´s keyboard with a successfully installed upgrade. Perfect optics and perfect feeling!

Scope of supply
The Keyboard Upgrade Kit contains all necessary parts (ready for use) and detailed instructions (In English or German language; with many pictures). With that you can upgrade your keyboard to a practically new and durably playable condition.
