Fantastic review one more time... this mono paddle is on top of my shopping list ;-)

Lovely key! What a work of art! Thanks for the video, Pete!

Hello Forgive me and apologize because I saw a video of you with a fearless begali. Well, I'm writing to you because maybe you know, I bought an INTREPID BEGALI a month ago in September 2020 and even though I tried to put a cable in it, it didn't work, . I contacted them and they sent me a picture but I don't understand. Would you know how to tell me what kind of cable it is and how to make possible the functionality in the INTREPID BEGALI? TKS 73

Beautiful, I wonder if my XYL will let me buy one Begali a month? Just got my first, an HST.

Pete, how would you compare the Sculpture Mono to the Simplex Mono (which I have) from a "feel" perspective?

[@PeteSobye]

Hi. Thanks for the question. I have the simplex mono too and have owned / operated single paddle keys. From my own perspective, I prefer the single paddle. Simply because it’s a different type of key to a twin paddle ‘mono’ key. It’s easier for me to operate an HST or Sculpture mono due to it being a thin single paddle. For the simplex mono, with the twin paddles, I want to use it like a twin paddle key so there is a little confusion to begin with. I hope this helps. 73’ Pete G0PNM

Which would u get if price wasn't an issue? HST or Sculpture mono? You sent a lot faster with the HST.

[@PeteSobye]

Oooh good question. If money wasn’t an issue, I’d have both. 😉

I'm hoping this model will be my next key, though it is a bit pricey. (K4EMF)

Nicely done. However, that finger piece looks a tad tall. I observed your sending and the fingers tend to be low on the finger piece. You know the reason for it being that tall? Looks like the tail of a plane hi.. Can the finger piece be reversed? Fernando N2FQ/6

[@WestCoastMole]

Fernando N6TT did exactly that with his Sculpture Mono. Although it looks like performing such a switch is a labor intensive task requiring considerable disassembly of the key. It alap detracts from the aestetics of the key

Wich key Art to you prefer ? Paddle? Single lever? Thx

[@PeteSobye]

I don’t think I have a preference. Most dual paddle ops key as a single paddle a lot of the time. Not many use full Iambic keying. So, as I fit into that category, I have none.
