Tau - physical measurements/dimensions...?

I’m interested in creating a MIDI controller inspired by the Tau, with similar proportions. The Alpha and Tau must be about the largest unconventional controllers ever made, and they certainly have stage presence.

I wonder if someone might take the time to measure one up, just to get the basic stats like length, width, thickness, and ideally things like where the keyboard starts and ends.

I’ve been Eigenless for a while, but I couldn’t resist a Pico that recently surfaced on Reverb. I guess features like the keys and buttons are the same size…?

(If I’d caught that inaccessible Utah one when they finally listed it on Reverb recently, I’d have snapped that up, though I wondered if that might be the one @Clarkalex picked up with a missing base station.)

Thanks,

Ben

Pico and (the upper part of) Tau have the same keys, yes. I’ve never held an Alpha.

This page has measurements: Eigenharp Tau - Eigenlabs Eigenharp Tau - Audiofanzine

It even has the measurements of the laptop bag :stuck_out_tongue: I still have two of those, using one as my daily notebook bag :slight_smile:

Tau:

Height 120cm (including breathpipe)
Height 116cm (excluding breathpipe)
Width 7.3cm
Depth 2.5cm
Weight 2.1kg

Keys and key distances are exactly like on Pico.
