Big thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video. Check them out here and get a $5 coupon: www.pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx...
If you always wanted to build your own keyboard but didn't know where to begin, this series is for you. In this video, I go over some important aspects to consider when designing the layout and enclosure of your DIY keyboard. I also show the different stabilizer options and how you integrate them into your design.

[@bobmcbob4399]

This is a nice series, really breaks it all down into parts which makes it at least seem possible for non electrical engineers.

[@MK68i]

Love your channel

[@nyeinchanzaw6936]

Really helpful thank you so much brother.

[@spacenodus7959]

Cool

[@bobweiram6321]

When are we going to hear you play that evil axe hanging on the wall? Did you also build it using your CNC?

[@DarkArtGuitars]

No, the guitar is bought (but refinished and electronics upgraded). I've been meaning to use the CNC to build my own, but I don't use the ones I have nearly enough as it is, so I don't have an excuse to make another one.
