You are incredibly patient with all those keys. Nice work! I purchased an FP-10 in November and already a few of the keys seem to have a 'click sensation' felt occasionally (but not always) when the key is struck (pressed) in a song. This is disconcerting for a keyboard this new to be exhibiting any inconsistencies among keys. Like most things, the older versions probably held up better.
Hey, I've got a Roland EP-7 that has numerous sticky keys because of exposure to a humid basement. Was going to throw it out, but now it looks like it might be reparable thanks to your video.
This is exactly why I make my videos! I'm no expert, but I believe we should all make an effort to repair things. Even if you don't fix it, you'll learn a lot through the process of trying. thanks for the comment
@@jonbell78 i have a roland hp137 r is there a way you can help me answer a question about taking off a key of the connecter is not the same as the one in the video
@@ericagarcia9414 maybe take a short video or photos of the keys and send me a link? You might have to open up some panels on the keyboard to get a good look.
I think I got it from Amazon.com, but I can't remember, it's been a while. You don't need to get the exact felt (even if it was available I wouldn't use it, that was the issue from the beginning). The felt is cheap and does change the "feel" of the keys a bit so purchase a few different types and see what you like best. You can also search for "weather strip" it is a similar material that is usually synthetic and might give a softer feel to the keys.
a keyboard player would have moved the low notes UP... near the top.. THOSE notes don't get played very often... but otherwise.. good hunt and peck approach to fixing things.. . where did you source the felts? Syntaur seems to have some felts sometimes.. but kurzweil product is so hard to get parts for.. any ideas would be helpful..
Open it up. It's usually not too difficult to figure out what is wrong. Be clean, neat, and organized as you work. Maybe take a video so you can review it later if you forget how it came apart. Going luck

Very helpful.
nice bro
Just fixed one ... couldn't figure out how to open the hinge at the key to remove it. Thanks!
Could you tell me where to purchase the pad strip you used? Thanks.
Thank you so much!
Today I learned that as much as watching pianos destroyed makes me feel ill inside, watching pianos be repaired has the opposite effect! :3
Where did you get the felt. I cannot find it... Roland Canada says they no longer supply. Or manufacture it

What is this felt called? I have to replace the same one and can't seem to find the name to order it. Anyone know where I can get one online?
syntaur.com
key cushion felt, might go by other names but almost always has "felt" in the name
Very detailed video. Where can I buy that strip?
ViiGim- Kovacam I did a Google search for the felt strips. I can't remember where I got them.
How did you arrange your keys please....
Am having a hard time rearranging it
What do you mean? The same notes can be moved up or down to another location where that notes exists.
My grandparents EP9 has a sticking key, I've found no repair guide, can someone help?

👍👍👍👏👏👏
You realize that the key mechanism is not graded/scaled any more, right? You just changed all the hammers! What now?
The hammers are weighed the same, or nearly the same. I didn't need top keep track.

When one key goes sticky you buy a real piano for $56,000
