In my quest to make it easy to own a better music keyboard than standard, things are looking up.

Here's a quote from Hong Kong Mould Manufacturing for the same product.

Basic cost to create the "mould" (English spelling" and set it up: 6,400 (for a steel, not aluminum mold)

Thereafter, each key pair costs $0.44, declining to $0.40, but there is no ceiling of a 2,000 pieces, I can create 20,000 or more. 10,000 key-pairs would cost 4,160, for pickup in Richmond BC.

Why is this better? Because at  under $20 for a set of 88 keys, there's a chance that I could actually recoup my investment.  A long chance, (I'd have to sell them for more than $20, sorry!), but a chance, none the less.

Secondly, this is with the ideal keys, which were designed to be created in pairs to reduce the ProtoMold cost. 
By simplifying the keys, I can reduce the mold creation cost.
