Hi. Thanks for an excellent video. Could you tell me if the Casio PX410R would be the same procedure as the PX110 ? Thanks for any help you can give me. Regards Bob
It all depends on how much damage the water incurred. I would dry all the electronic parts first. If I remember correctly, the Casio PX-110 is all plastic, no wooden parts. If any glued parts become unglued, re-glue them back usingf appropriate glue (I find Gorilla glue to be suitable for lots ot materials) after making sure those parts did not curl after having been dried. If any part is curled, keep the part pressed while drying. Be sure to use a good clamp when gluing. Good luck.
Hello Joe, It’s amazing how your knowledge is. Would you me help me please? I have a Casio PX 730. I have been played it for a few years and something went wrong. So I reassembled and tried to replace some keys. Now my problem is I don’t know how to put the keys back in their right order. Do you have the list of the key codes where it shows how they be put in the right order from left to right? Please! Thank you so much! I appreciate it 😇
Sternschnuppe, if I remember correctly, the hammer just snaps out of its pivot. There is how when I dropped the instrument a few inches, a couple of the hammers popped off. Hence my opening it to reoair.
Is your Casio the sane model.as I have? If not, I cannot help you then . The hammer should slip.out of its pivot very easily. There are no other attachments in my model. Very simple design. All based on gravity to give that piano feel.
Joe Wong, it's a px 100. Just wondering whether the mechanism is the same. Now, seems like the mechanism is different because the hammer is secured to each key and it's quite hard to remove it. Nevertheless, thank you for your time and help!
+adem okal I have not change that cloth before. However, I suspect that once you have unassembled that portion, you will be able to get access to that cloth. Just pay attention to how the cloth is adhered. I suspect that the edge of the cloth is glued. I recommend that you photograph every step of the way as I did. I actually video'ed the assembling back after I have opened it because, in my frustration, I forgot to turn on the video during the disassembling , but I used my video program to reverse all the actions when I put it back together. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Hi Joe, good day. May I know where can I purchase the hammer rubber contact. I have the same model casio as yours. The rubber on my unit has become brittle.
Sorry, I cannot help you on this quest. However, having seen what the hammer looks like, I recommend that you try to make a duplicate yourself. I think it can be done with a few tools and some spare wood or paper pulp parts and a jigsaw. Good luck.
The same thing happened to me. My PX-310 is many years old, and the rubbers on the hammers' brackets have become brittle. I'll try to model this in Blender software and print this rubbers using a 3D printer
I have a problem with the rubbers of the hammers on piano PX 730. Then I took them off and changed the new ones. But after that I realized each hammer has the different symbol (R, L, W(1,2,3,4), B(1,2,3,4)) with different weight. So I dont know how to put them back in the right order. Could you please show me the right order according to a piano PX, maybe to your piano. Thank you so much and look forward to hearing from you.
Sorry, Kenny, I can't help you on that problem. Being a Japanese product, I have a suspicion that the arrangement is logical. I suggest that you look at a picture of the PX 730 and try to figure out the placement and just experiment.
Weigh them on a digital kitchen scale. Note the weight to the markings. Then do math and you will know what weight difference they have. If you want to know what direction by weight, take off another two and weigh them. Then you know if heavier goes up to the right or they get lighter going up to the right. Now put all of them back in by their weight in the correct direction. 😁 I am 52 and have 149 IQ. I love to do Brain Puzzles as a Hobby. That is how I would solve your brain puzzle of what hammers go in what order and in what direction.
Rubber will age over time. You should order a new set of rubbers and replace the old ones. Then you just need to compare the hammers, the biggest and heaviest hammers will be on the left and in descending order to the right. After you are done, you will see that all the keys have the same height, if any key is higher or lower than the rest, it means you have installed it in the wrong position.
Once you have open the cover, you will find that the tab is just sitting on the fulcrum. That is why this is a gravity key like with a real piano, not spring loaded like in a lot of cheap keyboard. Hope this helps.
@@joewong6934 Hi - Thanks for the reply. Where I'm having difficulty is the part in your video at 1:29 - In your video there is a steel plate - one moment it's there and the next it is gone. You mention removing it, but I can not figure out how! Would you be able to tell me how you removed it? Thanks!
@@portow Sorry, I misunderstood. If memory serves me well (since that video was made a few years ago), that tab I mentioned is a kind of alignment (tab) piece at the top as you remove the side cover. Are you repairing the same model?
@@portow Since you already have it apart, look at the side properly, You should be able to move those keys. The keys just sit on the fulcrum, nothing to hold them down. There is a notch on the key that mate with the fulcrum. In fact, that was how I had to open mine because I dropped the whole set, and some keys got displaced. Good luck.
Hello! Sorry for my English . I'm from Ukraine . I want to replace the grease in the hammer action, I can not even find the name of this lubricant, please tell me what it's called. The piano stood in a very dusty environment before I bought it. I know that the silicone grease, but what brand. Thank you.
Sorry. I have never greased the hammer joints. However, on my examination the last time I opened the Casio, the grease looks like the white lithium grease which is a finer grease. I would recommend to grease the hammer joint very lightly, making sure that you wipe off any excess grease after applying the lithium grease.
Thank you so much! This video is a lifesaver.
Cheers mate, was very helpful.
Hi. Thanks for an excellent video. Could you tell me if the Casio PX410R would be the same procedure as the PX110 ?
Thanks for any help you can give me. Regards Bob
Bob, I am not familiar with your model. However, I am sure the procedure should be similar. Just look for where the attachment screws are placed.
It rained really hard and my ceiling had a leak… is it possible to repair my keyboard or is it done for?
It all depends on how much damage the water incurred. I would dry all the electronic parts first. If I remember correctly, the Casio PX-110 is all plastic, no wooden parts.

Thank you so much! I appreciate it 😇
Sorry. I don't know the answer to that. I suggest that you experiment until you get it correct.
Hello, could you please explain how you removed the key hammer from the instrument? Thank you!

Joe Wong, thank you for your reply. I would like to change the hammer, but was facing difficulty in removing it.
