Begali Simplex Basic iambic paddle
Iambic paddle with 1.4 kg cast iron base, 925 silver contacts and arms on ball bearings
The Begali Simplex Basic is Begali's most affordable key, yet a high-end CW instrument: an iambic paddle with a heavy 1.4 kg base, gold-plated parts and long-spring return.
Product description
It is CNC machined for maximum precision, with micro-threaded screws for all adjustments. The very low-mass light alloy arms pivot on 4 ball bearings set in the base: response remains excellent even at high speed and with a very light setting.
The contacts are 925 silver. The base is cast phosphated iron: the shape comes from the mould, but the rough surface has a unique pattern, so no two bases are identical. A dust cover is supplied.
Key features
Stable on the desk.
Precise response even at speed.
Gold-plated parts.
