What Sets Fairkey Apart?
Fairkey isn’t just about ergonomics. It’s about delivering better instruments — faster, smarter, and with higher precision than anything else available. That includes not just the keyboard, but the entire process around it. From measurement to delivery, everything is engineered to make this shift realistic — not just desirable. While others cling to tradition and storytelling, we invest in accuracy, automation, and repeatable quality.
The result is simple: instruments that actually work, without the drama.
The Process Is the Product
Custom Hand Sizing
Without Stretching or Guesswork
You can determine your ideal key spacing with a 3D-printable tool — no painful stretches, no need to interpret vague "hand spans."
Our system calculates the right layout based on how your hand really works — not how it looks on paper.
Instrument Measurement
Safe, Fast, Remote
For acoustic pianos, you (or your technician) can take simple, safe measurements. It is absolutely fool-proof.
We guide you in a short video call — no disassembly, no shipping, no delays.
Engineered for Adoption
Not Just Idealism
This entire system was built to remove the barriers that kept better pianos from reaching more players.
No 18-month wait times. No €40K gamble. No compromises.
Just high-performance tools, delivered in weeks — and made to last.
Built into Every Fairkey Keyboard
Truly Tailored Key Layout
Every keyboard is designed to your hand — not a standard size.
We adjust every dimension of the layout to fit you, not the other way around.
Precision Fit for Your Piano
We use advanced simulation and modeling to match your specific instrument — ensuring optimal geometry, spacing, and balance.
Stabilized, Treated Wood
Our wood is reactor-treated (no chemicals) to reduce weight and increase stiffness — improving feel, durability, and consistency in any climate.
Frictionless Polymer Bushings
Instead of old-school felt, we use custom-engineered polymer bushings for smoother key travel and longer stability — especially important in narrow keyboards.
No-Nonsense Regulation
Our screw-based system makes key adjustment fast and foolproof — no fussy tech visits or unpredictable tweaks.
Digital Platform — Powered by the Same Thinking
Real Sound
Not Speaker Simulation
Optional soundboards give our digital instruments a more open, resonant character — closer to acoustic, and far beyond the compressed sound of typical digitals.
Modular Keyboard
Change Size Anytime
As your needs change, so can your keyboard.
Swap sizes without replacing the entire instrument — a real solution for growing pianists or evolving preferences.
Built to Travel
So You Don’t Compromise
While acoustic pianos stay in place, Fairkey’s digital instruments move with you.
They’re not ultra-light, but they’re truly portable — so your ideal keyboard goes wherever you play.
Materials & Performance
Our Standard: Wood, Done Right
All Fairkey keyboards are made from wood — chosen for its affordability and musical feel.
When the size remains close to standard, our wooden keyboards often play as well or better than the original. In smaller sizes, performance can decline slightly — but we only build what we know will still play well in your specific piano.
Even at reduced sizes, our wooden keyboards consistently outperform any non-Kaduk keyboard we’ve seen — a difference that’s measurable and easy to feel.
For Extreme Needs: Plastic, via Kipi
In rare cases — when ultimate performance is required, whether in very small sizes or in the largest concert grands — we use high-performance plastic keyboards built under our Kipi brand (Kaduk Improved Piano Interfaces).
Plastic delivers unmatched playability, but at a significantly higher cost.
For nearly all pianists, Fairkey provides the best balance of comfort, quality, and cost.
