The Yahoo web interface does not accept attachments.
For readers to see it on the Yahoo interface, you need
to put it in the "Photos" section, if there's enough
space. If not, we have two other Yahoo groups created
specifically as "extra file storage" for this list:

/tuning_files/

/tuning_files2/

Ah, so then it's *not* the Zboard. Sounds like a
small version of the Microzone/Uath.

AFAIK, Erv does not do email.
Kraig Grady is Erv's internet liason.

John Starret got his PhD, took a university job, and
disappeared from the internet microtonal world.
I've haven't heard a peep from him since.

Chris,

I didn't yet know anyone with any of the Starr Labs smaller
generalized keyboards - so now that's changed. I myself have the
810-key version, which is visible somewhat on the bio page of my website:

http://www.geocities.com/harold_fortuin

And, to the best of my knowledge, Erv Wilson doesn't have e-mail. And
he should be very aware of developments with all Starr Labs keyboards,
since they arise from his designs, and he was one of those who got
Starr to build 'em in the first place!

Monz,

Thanks for the connections and info. i sent Kraig an
email too.

Yes, it is a Starrlabs U648 (UATH) generalized
keyboard (288 notes) (see www.starrlabs.com and look
under keyboards), the only one in existence of that
size I know of. They go for $3825 new. As for a
picture, rather than put my picture up on the other
website, if anyone wants to see what it looks like
just go to the Starrlabs website. I think Harvey's
picture is actually of my keyboard.
