Piano Key Contact Switches
By Stephen Kent Goodman 

To John McClure: I am making the piano action switching unit as
described in Craig Brougher's book.  It should handle up to 24v DC,
3-4 amps.  It will be about $5 per note as I am running a 49 note unit
off for one of my own projects.  This looks like it would be more
reliable playing off the piano action than any key dipping on a switch.
