Something that is frequently requested are alternatives to replace the JD-800 keybed with another that is similar as it is practically impossible to obtain a replacement.
We asked our friend Paulo Audiocare (Brazil) who is a technician with long experience in maintaining synths and the suggestion was as follows:
"The best keybed to adapt to the jd800 or U-20 is the Roland W30 (or D50, which is the same).
Just make the adjustments to the matrix.
The mechanical part is very close and the drillings are almost exact."
Thanks Paulo Audiocare!
