Here's what it looks like so far. I've also included a picture of the real thing.

Hey ttrw,

I've had this U-20 for nearly 20 years. I bought it new in college and played it in a Christian rock band for awhile. I played it in church some and then put it away in storage. It's still in excellent condition. Two years ago I sent it back to Roland and had it serviced and reworked with a new set of keys.

In its time, this board had the best acoustic instruments you could get. The pianos, guitars and brass instruments were second to none. The synth sounds are awesome. But, you can tell its heritage by the listening to the factory sound patches. The original sound patches were spot on for everything from Van Halen, Journey, and Whitesnake to even C+C Music Factory and the Eurythmics. Very cool stuff!

I got tickled at my wife when she came in the room yesterday. "Why in the world would you be modeling your keyboard??? It's not like you can build another one!"

LOL! She just doesn't get it...

I originally was going to just do a very simple model to play with the idea of building a sort of cabinet/stand for it so that I could leave it in my living room like a real piano instead of putting up back in the case every time. But, once I got started doing the model simple just wasn't good enough.

It took the most time making the precise measurements to lay all the details out accurately. ViaCAD did its job flawlessly, quickly and very easily. I can't complain about anything with the program on this model.
