Despite some people say that the extra keys are not used, it's a advantage if you wish to split the keyboard in two (virtually) to play with another person by side.

It would be good to hear some reviews for these keyboards, as they're very expensive and a bit much to take on trust!
I want to know the weight of each model too.
If the new one had *poly* aftertouch it would be invincible

It also appears to use a 12V 'wallwart' power supply, tsk.
For an expensive pro piece of gear, I'd prefer an IEC mains cable.

Wall-wart on a 5300€ product? That's - retarded.

well, maybe they thought it was expensive and heavy enough without putting a high quality mains transformer in it too! But I still think they should have - wall warts suck.

I have emailed them to ask if they could put the weight of these keyboards on their website
(not the weight of the keyboard action, but how much the whole unit weighs in kilograms)

I seem to remember from a previous video from this company that the keyboard used in these digital pianos is the same one that is in the Numa Nero.
CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THIS? DO NOT BELIEVE IT BECAUSE I MENTIONED IT.
I really like my Numa Nero with it's Fatar keyboard but I know that not everyone here is a fan of it. So if you are not, then do some research and try before you do any buying.

If you google about the FLK, you will see the same speculation that it's "just a rebadged Fatar keyboard" on about 3 different forums. No real info though, just guesses.
I suggest emailing the actual company to check.

Well, I emailed them this morning, and already this afternoon they have amended their website and come back with an answer:
Metal case, wooden sidepanels.
Integrated carrying handle.
Weight 22 kg.
22kg is pretty hefty, but not impossible to deal with (lighter than my Kurzweil Midiboard)

Re: New LACHNIT FLK products for 2013 include 97 key controller!
they have the (German) user guide on their site now, and it has a standard MIDI Implementation Chart at the back:
from this I see that it does send both Note On and Note Off velocity, and also transmits Active Sensing (useful for stage use, if cables come loose).
Assuming the keyboard action is as good as they promise, the only dream feature missing on this is polyphonic aftertouch.
