Keyboard is the interface to play the electronic musical instrument.

The touch is “weighted” through lever and spring systems that emulate the effect and sensations produced by the action of acoustic pianos. The key challenge is one of guaranteeing an excellent expressive articulation and a good dynamic answer. Since the 1980s, the major musical instrument companies have been trying to imitate the piano.

Integrated circuits and the introduction of sampling technology have speeded up the simulation of the sound, while the results of the simulation of a dynamic related to the action of a hammer-moving key has yet to be expressed.

Fatar took great pleasure in being asked to directly invest its energies in the study and development of a new hammer-action keyboard in 1989 and as a result, Fatar took out a patent on its own prototype.
In 1990 Fatar introduced the conductive-rubber contact, thus making obsolete the traditional spring-loaded contact.

In  1996, Fatar decided it was time to invest more in order to improve its trade expansion.
This initiative not only involved a rationalization of the production area, but also resulted in some relevant actions in support of manufacturing excellence.

In 2001, after deep analysis and studies, the wooden key was applied to the modern mechanic of the digital pianos, thus enhancing the background of experience by joining it to innovative technologies.

Currently, the Fatar’s models have been structured into different lines of production.They have acheived the following highlights:
