We ordered a new mold for the chord buttons

Quick update from the workshop — we ordered a new mold for the chord buttons. The change: a slightly different corner radius. Sounds like nothing. Your left hand will notice.

Here’s how it works. Every chord button on Neoharp is identical — one mold, one geometry, cast like twins. The letters and markings are added later, as a separate step.

We tried a few shapes for the left hand and collected feedback: how fingers land, where the edge digs in, how easy it is to find a button without looking. And found something unexpected: make the corner radius a little larger — and the finger finds the button by itself. You can barely see the difference. You feel it right away.
