Hello,
my
name is Friedrich Lachnit.
I worked as a concert
technician for 15 years for the Viennese piano
manufacturer Bösendorfer.
Then I was head of their piano electronics
for another 10 years.
In this time I was allowed to head project CEUS
and the R&D of a master keyboard prototype for Bösendorfer.
I
worked in following task areas:
Concert
technician worldwide
Quality control grand
piano - hammer heads aswell as redesign of them.
Service, maintenance,
repair, recording, editing, live concert management with the
Bösendorfer SE Computer grand piano.

Installation of Player
Systems, Silent Systems, miscellaneous piano electronics
Research, development,
certification of the Bösendorfer CEUS selfplaying system.
Research and development
of the Bösendorfer masterkeyboard prototype
Essential knowledge of
measuring and control technology and electronics.
Scientific
collection of data concerning time response and dynamics of
grand piano
mechanics as well as artistic interaction and their effects on the
sound design.
All that isn't just
useful to develop the world's best self-playing system it also enabled
me to create a really fine keyboard.
A frequently asked
question:
Where did the idea come
from to develope a masterkeyboard in Austria???
At my Bösendorfer time
years ago Peter Wolf visited Bösendorfer/Vienna.
I proudly
presented him the first CEUS.
He put his notebook on the grand piano,
looked for the midi socket, found it, and started to play.
Midi
values of finest quality were instantly displayed on his notebook. He
played them back and was thrilled.
Whilest congratulating us, he looked
wishfull at the 3m long grand piano and asked:
"When will you
build
a decent masterkeyboard in this quality? We're all waiting for
one."
Pointing at the CEUS Imperial he added:
"This is great, but I
cannot turn the volume down nor can I take it with me...."
In 2011 I started my own
business with FLKeys.
Most important supplier of FLKeys is Dewesoft KCW GmbH (former TVE) in Vienna
Dewesoft KCW Vienna is a small but excellent company for electronic development.
Without their help the MK23 Keyboard wouldn't exist.
Many thanks to:

and many more...
I wouldn't have made it
without you !
