I took the middle rail out before putting it in.

This is too real. Have had and sold Bastl before for this reason.

Thanks! It feels great too. Had a couple keys stop working on my other one and wanted to make sure I could simply replace them on my new typing surface

Ricky Jay!

I was just explaining to someone last week why the role of Eddie Sawyer in “Deadwood” is extra cool.

He’s a great personality.

Ricky Jay is awesome.

I don’t get it, why does it need to be tied on?

In brief: the wood that bastl uses is very thick, and finding the right screws to work with both that thickness and sliding nuts from some manufacturers can be a pain. So, no screws. Yarn instead.

The necessary longer screws came with all of mine, even the DIY ones.

I probably won’t have time to actually explore it in any depth until some point this weekend. I did get to briefly lay hands and eyes on one just before I bought it, and it’s really, really, really super cool. That display is a gem.

I’d already skimmed and read parts of the manual so wasn’t going in totally blind, but the thing strikes me as surprisingly intuitive. In less than a minute, I’d loaded a preset, played, started stopped, changed speeds on the fly (SO COOL to watch the display give you visual feedback of this), played from different segment points, etc.

These things are always smaller than they look online. I’ll need my glasses to do any extended work with it.

Mine comes Tuesday. Perfect circuit Halloween sale! Saved money but have to suffer through shipping wait.
