This is not really the topic of the group.

As far as I know nearly all keyboards are made of the same manufacturer.
90% are made of a japanese factory and by the italian manufacturer Fatar. I
am not really sure, but I think Doepfer uses Fatar. The case is rugged, as
any case might be. Nevertheless as with all other keyboards extrem twisting
strains of a 88 keys keyboard might cause a damage to the frame.

I don't remember the actual models, but the former LMK Series had a socket
panel, that was not very deep in the case, so the jacks could get bent over
in the sockets.

The keyboards use an external powersupply (wall wart style), which is a
construction that can be called everything else but rugged :-(
