Thank you very much for choosing an 

FLKeys

  product. 

 
 

180 years of Viennese piano building experience, as well as 30 years of research and knowledge in 
piano electronics are packed into each LACHNIT FLK MIDI keyboard.  
Our customers are mainly professional musicians and artists but our products are also suitable for 
students, especially as they give you the freedom to practice anytime anywhere.   
Many thoughts were spent to make operating the keyboard as easy as possible.  If you are familiar 
with MIDI basics, you will be able to play your MK2 instantly without having to look into the manual 
for first steps instructions. 
Nevertheless, we advise you to read your owner’s manual thoroughly as it will give you valuable 
information to get the best results out of your LACHNIT MK2 -keyboard.
