great video!!! thanks for this!

Hi Tod, great video. I have this issue on two keys. Drives me nuts. I also have two keys that stick down. This keyboard was purchased about 1998 I think and these problem started about two years ago....but the biggest issue that I've been dealing with for about 10 or more years is the buttons 5 and 6 do nothing when pressed. These are the buttons that select the voices E.Piano1 and E.Piano2. The voices I don't care about. What the real problem is that I can't use these buttons to control the LOCAL MIDI control and CS/FC control. Does anyone know if this is a contact problem or a motherboard/PC board issue? After watching this video I'll be for sure taking this keyboard apart to fix the key problem but while I was in there I was hoping to fix the button issue too. Thanks guys for any information on this.

Just took ownership of a P90 which had a long life. This video is a lifesaver. Truly a great explanation of everything I can do to fix it up.

Thanks man! Solved my problem!

Is this the exact same process for replacing the key is on the CP 40?

Great instructions! I would add that if a black key is wiggling back and forth it is not broken. When you remove the key there is a plastic fitting that just came off the post that that comes into the middle of the key as a guide. Just put it back on the post. Also, contact strips have 12 contacts. 88 does not divide evenly by 12 so you have to cut one. Be sure they fit around the small posts....

I find this video of yours irritating. You talk about how to use the card to free the key, but you don't actually SHOW US what you're doing. Yeah, in the distance we see hand with card. We needed more than that. I realize you're not a video production specialist, so you don't understand how important it can be that you SHOW folks what you're TALKING about. I haven't been able to make a credit card do the unlocking of keyboard keys you claim, yet. We think you're just doing some kind of year round April fools stunt. Way to go. You got us.

Best video on UA-cam explaining this, wish I watched this one first!

Help anyone. I fix the sticking key and I used too much WD40 and now the middle C is dead. I was thinking to use rubbing alcohol to dry it out.

Thank you so much for the great video. I was going crazy trying to take the some keys out to clean. Keep up the great work. God bless.

Hi, I have my S90 es apart trying to replace a couple of key hammers. Can't figure out how to get them in our out. The keys are no problem but cannot figure out the key hammers. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks

Un grand merci Tod ! Grâce à ton tutoriel, mon Yam CP4 de 10 ans vient de s'offrir une nouvelle jeunesse ! Contacts nettoyés, fini les problèmes de vélocité 🥳

Very thorough explanation. My problem is with a Yamaha W 5 Workstation. I just replaced two keys ( one missing F# and one broken D ) The F3 key depresses , but, with difficulty as does another key that I noticed when checking for the same problem before re - assembling the keyboard. All of the other keys have a good / similar action. Any ideas come to mind on how best to repair this difficult action problem ?

Excellent instruction. It saved me lots of grief and made it easy.

Hi... This video is very good. I Need your help with a keybed Yamaha P80. I have a P80 piano but doesn't work because the keybed chassis is broken. All other keyboard parts work. I need the keybed chassis plastic for this piano (p80). Can you help me to find it ? Thank

Hi. I need your help with a Keybed chassis for yamaha p80

Great video! I notice you didn't include the CP4 as an included keybed. I'm having some sensitivity issues in the middle of the piano. Any reason why your video might lead me astray, or did you just omit the CP4 because it's so like the CP40?

Very good job!

Hi Tod…great video ..could you tell me if the Yamaha PF-500 is the preferable GH ACTION ? And are the parts available to replace a few keys..thank you 🤝for your time

thankyouuu

5:40 ----- replacing is a good idea. These remote control type pads are trouble waiting to happen. They definitely have a life-time as we all know. Cleaning 'might' help to start with. But eventually --- cleaning is going to be irrelevant when the regular wear and aging has destroyed the film that is meant to be electrically conductive. And the various tricks such as using graphite/pencil rubbing or conductive 'paints' ---- are unreliable methods. That is, they might temporarily seem to work as a fix ---- but quirky glitchy behaviour will generally result when going down that path. Replacing with new pads is the way to go. But - also - it's unfortunate how we're still stuck with this particular conductive pad 'technology'. On the other hand - it's the probably the best they can do - when factoring in price, affordability etc.

My P200 is on "permanent sustain". It acts as if the sustain pedal is depressed even when there is no pedal. Could this be a menu setting, or am I in for a repair?

Thanks for this video, Tod. I have a lightly used CP300. Recently, the A and Eb keys went silent in each octave above middle C. Before I start dismantling the instrument, I wondered if you could advise on a fix. Given that this all started at the same time and it's in specific, separated keys on only half of the keyboard, I wondered if this was a software issue rather than a mechanical one. I tried the factory reset by restarting while holding down the highest key ... no luck. Any suggestions?

Hi Tod - Great video. I have two white keys next to each other that get stuck and don't always come up and stay slightly recessed. The problem is that I live in Kenya, which is a beautiful place to live, and worried about spare parts not being available... I am certain there must be dust inside the board because when we have our two dry seasons, there is always dust in the air. Further, the six-year olds are still forgetting to cover the keyboard when they are finished playing.... And this old geezer always forgets.... So I will carefully follow your instruction and hopefully that should take care of things....

This is so helpful. I’m digging into my CP300 now that we’re past the toddler years. I found a tiny plastic straw and nickel. Yay.

Hi Tod, great video! I have a problem where when the rubber pads make contact with the circuit board, it doesn't make a sound, but if I move the rubber pads a few millimeters up, then it works, I have tried different rubber caps from another part of the keyboard, same result. Any ideas? Thank you

Hi, Todd, this was helpful, but we don't have this kind of board. Do you have a tutorial for replacing a CEGB set of keys for the Yama PSR models? They aren't individual and the black sets sit on top of the white sets.....

Hi, thx for your great video. We have a Yamaha stage CP 33, all keys make very long tones, like when you press the pedal, always long tones, so it sounds crazy, when you wanna play a melody because the tones do not stop. The crazy thing is, when you press the pedal and stay on it, the tones are totally short. Do you have any idea, how to repair this? Thx in advance!

Thank you very much.Today I repaired Yamaha s90 in your way. It has same key system.So I challenged. Actually only one key was too sensitive. Your way solved that. Now I living very far from your country,Japan,Ishikawa prefecture. This is the lucky thing. Very amazing! Now I’m enjoying playing my S09.Thank you,Mr.Baldwin.

Thanks so much for this video. I was able to get a guitar pick out that was jamming one note.

Left you an email requesting price. Thanks

Thanks your video saved a CP300.Any hacks for fixing a broken cover hinge where the screws have broken out of the plastic?

Hi-the back black runner strip on which the keys sit with kinda pigeon holes has broken so about 4-5 notes are jammed or dead on my CLP 860. Could this be mended or is it a write off?THX

Do you have any advice on fixing action on my Yamaha CP-4? (NWGH action). A couple of my keys are doing the "full velocity" glitch when you barely touch them.

Thanks for showing the detail on how to replace/repair. By the way, I feel that the key are not so firm in the center/middle of my keyboard (Clavinova CVP 409) and I wonder if just reverse the key spring is enough instead to replace them. Could you please advise? Thanks

Hey Tod, the keys on my CP33 are way heavier than an acoustic piano. The previous maintenance may did that. Is there any way to lighten they?

This video is amazing. Here's a guy absolutely playing his heart out - with more talent than most signed artists - and being for the most part ignored. God bless you man!

Informative video. Thank you!

is there a meaningful difference between GH and GHE? Is a used Cp33 a good buy as a controller in 2021?

Hi I have a some problem in my digital piano the g key seems fine but sometimes it produce no sound and sometimes it's okay if I press the key repeatedly the keys sometimes not working. Any suggestions on how I fix this problem?

This is like med school for keys.

Very informative. Thanks Tod. I’m having overly bouncy keys and sensitivity issues on some keys of my Native Instruments S88 Mk1 controller. Any idea on what to fix? I believe it’s the felt strips and also dirty sensor/contacts strip on some keys esp the white ones. What kind of felt strip fits this board and what should I focus to fix if you have any idea? Thanks!

Bravo!

3:57 Hi, do you think the key weight is come from the metal rod or spring? If I cut off a little bit the end of the u-shape rod, cut every rod to different length, from the low key to high key, long to short, is possible to mimic linear weight key like acoustic piano?

Link doesn't work?

Hello, I guess it isnt possible to put a GH keybed into a keyboard with GHS keybed installed from factory?

Will this work for a Yamaha CP4 with loose black keys and oversensitive white ones?

Does anyone know a European store where i can purchase a GHS octave?

P-120 isn’t part of that group shown in the beginning?

I'm in the middle of cleaning our 20-year-old Clavinova with the same key design when I watched your video. The green lubricant under the keys seems to have somewhat hardened which (I think) is the reason the keys aren't returning quickly when you let off your finger. I applied some Super-Lube synthetic grease I had, and it seems to be worse. I will have to clean each bar. What do you suggest? Thx, and great video!
