Hi,

Although I've not tried this particular Fatar model before, I know that Fatar, used to be the company that other synth companies (Roland comes to mind) outsources to manufacture their keyboards. Soon after, Fatar decided to start making their own "brand" of controllers too and the rest, as they say, is history.

If I'm not mistaken, Fatar dropped out of the radar some years back due to some financial crisis or something, but they seem to be making a comeback these days (perhaps they got bought out)

With their reputation as keyboard manufacturers, I'd view their products favourably.
