Begali Graciella

The Graciella Vertical Key was designed to be the ultimate vertical dual-lever paddle. The feedback from CW experts around the world and the experience that we gained with our other magnetic paddles have been combined into a revolutionary design of stunning beauty.

The Graciella uses the highest quality bearings, gold or palladium plated components, aircraft alloy for moving elements to reduce their masses and maximize responsiveness, micro-threaded adjustment screws for the contact gap and the magnetic tension, and a stereo jack for the connection cable.  The Graciella has massive 14k gold contacts for the ultimate in reliability.

The vertical architecture allows us to reduce the dimensions of the moving elements and their masses, while retaining the ideal leverage ratio for optimum tactile feedback. The mechanism is mounted on a vertical “wall” that slides inside a channel in the base for height adjustment.  The spacing of the finger pieces can be adjusted with a conical backstop for the levers.  This complete flexibility to adjust the position of the finger pieces is accomplished without compromising the mechanical robustness of this key.

Although the footprint is only 3×3 inches, smaller than our other paddles, this is a heavy key, weighing in at about 3.5 pounds – so you can be sure that it won’t walk around on your table. That weight is the result of heavy duty components that were designed for a lifetime of reliable service.
