tony,
first of all for raw keyboards check out paia in oklahoma city....they're a
mail order electronics/music warehouse and they do sell some keyboards...
on the other hand a midi controller might be the way to go.
for midi information check out the following sources:
the note in this newgroup titled 'network midi primr'
the book published by keyboard mag. 'synthesizers and computers' has a
full copy of the rev 1.0 midi spec in its appendices.
I think you can certainly tinker away, although if you want to tinker with
equipment that is currently popular (not neccessarilybetter) you'll
probably need a good understanding of analog electronics, digital electronics,
and computer design.
hope this will be some help.
