Thanks so much, Rich. I have followed this and fixed the loud key on my Casio CDP-120. It has been 6 years I bought from its previous owner, and I didn't know actually I can fix it on my own. Thank you! It is a good start for my kid as she will have her first piano lesson this week!
I was very happy to read your comment. In these times we frequently have to try to fix things ourselves and it is very satisfying when we succeed! You brought your instrument back to life and will put it to good service!! Rich😊😊
I practice watching youtube video cause I can’t afford a teacher. I stopped playing piano for 8 months due to your same problem but with 8 deferent keys. The store told me it’s a motherboard problem and I need to pay almost $400 and was too expensive for me. I did what you did and now it’s fixed for free. Thank you bro you really made my year. I was feeling very down because I use to practice 2 hours every day. It sounds dramatic but i swear my eyes are tearing as I’m writing this. I really needed my keyboard back.
Your comment made my day. I'm very pleased my video helped you get back to using and enjoying your keyboard. Thanks for taking the time to tell your story! Rich Davis😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I have a yamaha E363, it has been with me for almost 5 years or so, it's in pretty good condition but I have the same problem, I thought it was dust, but it's two specific keys in all octaves; D's and G sharps. They are too loud if I play them on normal pressure and If I use a lot of pressure they either go silent or play 3 to 4 times. I tried this a lot of times, even used alcohol pads which made it better, but still loud, but it isn't working and I feel helpless, I can't afford getting it fixed from the store either, and I think something's wrong with the motherboard. I haven't played it in months, it was the only way I could relax and ever since then, I haven't been feeling amazing. I get what you're saying, that your eyes were tearing up as you wrote, and so I wanted to say that you're not being dramatic at all, I feel what you felt for those 8 months, I hope you're doing great and so are your piano skills. I'm thinking of maybe selling it and buying a new one, or maybe just stop playing piano since I can't really watch it sit there and feel helpless
@@AjwaQurIf you are having issues with keys in the same octave across the entire key board, I think I know what is causing that. The CPU inside the keyboard can only process one key at a time but it does all of them so fast over and over again you can't notice it. Yamaha keyboards don't scan from the lowest key first to the highest key last (progressive), they instead scan (interlaced) by scanning all the Cs first, then all the C#s, and finally all the Bs. They do this to save micro chips and for a less noticeable scan delay and is called multiplexing. When a problem is common to the same key in each octave, its the Common Note drive line that is flaky. I am familiar with Yamaha keyboards (I have a DX7). I could probably fix it but it would not be practical to ship. I suggest you find some big engineering companies in your area and ask if you can post a flyer on their cafeteria bulletin board that you need help. If you go to several companies you may find a hardware engineer that might fix it free (except for the cost of parts). I do this often but only for local people.
I had the same problem on my Yamaha P-70 - one very loud key. I dismantled and sure enough, tiny bit of grit between the rubber pad and circuit board. Thank you for making this video, it solved my problem.
I had put up for a long time with one of my keys sounding louder than others until yesterday when it stopped playing altogether. No sound. I found your video, followed your instruction to a T (except the saliva bit) and resuscitated my instrument. Not one screw was left after putting the whole thing back together, which has never happened to me before attempting other repairs. Being all thumbs type of man I am now very proud of myself and very very grateful to you! All the best!
Sometimes you take a leap of faith and do the process and wow! it works. I'm glad you got to experience the same thrill I did a few years ago when I made this video. I'll never forget that day. Rich 😊
Sir, I want you to know that I've been facing the same issue with 5 of my keys on my Yamaha and I am absolutely thrilled to have finally found a solution. Thank you ever so much for taping and posting this. It certainly hasn't gone unnoticed.
I'm glad my video gives you hope. I remember the magical day a few years ago when I fixed my digital piano and made this video. It was very exciting. Rich
Thank you so much! I am going to sell my piano tomorrow and one of keys were loud, just like yours. I've never opened any pianos before, but with your guide I was able to open it (with all the screws!), and found a hair on the loud note's trigger. I cleaned out everything with a damp cloth and voila! Good as new! Thank you so much! My buyer is giving me good money and I was afraid I might tank it, but now it's all good to go!
I had the exact problem with my Korg SP170. I did a similar task and realised that even though a digital piano can save regular tuning costs compared to an acoustic piano, BUT, these lousy parts can also become defective and expensive to replace. I was lucky as you to not have to replace anything yet, just clean it. I had around 5 loud notes and 5 were almost mute before I opened it and after operating in a similar fashion, I managed to get the piano's notes back to perfect velocity on every note, except a very high note, which I don't mind now, since I hardly ever use that note. In the end I probably have to repair those rubber contact strips, which are not very cheap...
I'm glad you were able to fix most of the problems you had with your keyboard. You're right in that we probably can't keep fixing them forever. The money I save in piano tunings might buy a new digital piano every few years. I love my Yamaha DGX-650 white digital piano. I've had it maybe five or six years now and have had zero problems. I would never want a real piano of any kind as I grew up musically with Yamaha digital pianos. I couldn't live without all the voices and the multitude ways to play. Thanks. Rich
@@richdavis4007 also may I add there is a lot of rubbish on youtube these days but your video has helped me a lot as long with others to eliminate some of the guessing I would have done if I tried to fix my digital piano without this so thanks again for the post
Thank you! I found only one guy, who offered me to fix this issue for 60 dollars. Also he said that I have to bring the piano to his flat at the other coast of my city! For Kazakhstan, that’s quite expensive. You saved my money and most of all, saved my time
Thank you, your video was a great help as I have the same problem. I purchased one recently as an interest as I joined Royal Australian Navy band in 1965 after learning piano and then went on to play clarinet . Now 72 I look forward to tinkering as I have not touched a piano for over 50 years
I'm glad my video helped and hope you enjoy piano once again after all these years. I started music late but really enjoy piano, ukulele and singing these days. I try to post a playing and singing video every day, which keeps me motivated. Rich
Great video. I have one key especially and maybe a few more like that. Now need to find a place and time to fix it. Loved your exuberance - “I FIXED IT!!” - when discovered a saliva moistened q-tip fixed the problem. Thanks for taking the time to show how it’s done and tips you gave.
I had few keys sound bad, after reading in commets here i tried to use the other end of vacum to do blower with tiny nozzle tip and blow in the spaces of the keys and its amazing the bad sounds gone and normal sounds comes back, so the videos and the commets really helps to solve my problem in my dgx 640, so no need to open and clean inside the piano as i did before. thanks to everyone.
Thanks for sharing your experience. For those not wanting to take their keyboards apart, your methods sounds worthy of a try. I can only vouch for sure what I did in this video. Very best wishes. Rich Davis
Just got a same problem on my DGX-660. Now i'm gonna disassemble my piano. That's what i've read about what the problem is: "There're 2 switches mounted at different heights on every key, The piano does a really clever thing of measuring how long it takes for the two switches to be made. If you brush the key lightly there will be a greater time between both switches being made, in contrast if you strike the key hard the switches make much quicker. If however one switch fails, generally the piano will play the key at full volume as only one switch makes." And that's exactly what i saw in your video (see at 8:34) - the A-key (the 3rd from the right side) had some white particle on it when you removed that grey rubber thing. Hope, in my case it will also be that easy... 🤔🤔🤔 Thank you for the video! 🙏🙏🙏
Finally fixed my loud keys after hours of try and error, at the end i had to remove the gray membrane and replace it with another one from a different octave and it worked!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 Small tip for the ones who will try this: remember to always try your keys before screwing all the screws!!! And if you did it once do it again cause once is never enough😑😑at least in my case, i literally screw 200 times because of this dumb error. Muchas gracias desde Chile,i'm subscribed to your channel now, thankful to you and proud of me at the same time hahaha . I couldn't stand more days hearing these OFFENSIVE keys 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Yess ! I was planning really to open up my 88 key Yamaha keyboard . It also create on note too loud … as I play my music … I am glad you showed this tricks tutorial thank you very much
Thank You Sir for Your video, i am from Poland, i bought piano, same as you said, i tested it before buy, but i didn't notice difference.When i came back to home i noticed difference . Fortunately i have found your video Sir. Thank you for your video
Thankyou Rich!! That helped for my Roland!! I tried to use hair drier in between the keys!! That did work out without removing any parts Appreciate your help!!
At 9:05, clean everything with 95% or better Isopropyl Alcohol and also clean the Carbon Impregnated rubber contacts inside the gray peice you removed at 8:31. Its those contacts that touch the "serpantine" traces on the printed circuit board that makes the electrical connection when you press a key. Sometimes you may have to rough up a rubber contact very lightly with 200 grit sand paper. Pollution in the air glazes over the rubber over time and prevents the carbon from making good contact. BTW... The reason there are two switches for each key is that they both don't contact at the same time when you press a key. One will contact first and then a few milliseconds later the other will contact. The computer in the keyboard measures this time difference and determines how quickly or slowly you are pressing the key to make it sound louder or softer like a real piano. Sorry, for all the commets. You did a great job, but I do this every day, and just want to help you and your viewers.
Thank you, I've recently noticed the same problem with the exact same key on my piano. I never thought the fix would be as simple as just cleaning the sensors underneath
Agree on this problem indeed. Thankx for the video and solution! Was very helpful! EXTRA TIP: MARK THE KEYNOTE WITH A REMOVABLE STICKER Then you always know which key is the disturbed one! Thankx anyway!
I have a Yamaha CLP-545 that had the loud key problem on some of the keys. I thought it was a dust problem, but actually it was not. I called Yamaha service center in Denmark (the country) and even though the piano is not under warranty it appears that Yamaha a number of years ago issued a bulletin named DMI064 which basically means that they will replace central parts of the touch registration prints and rubber for all 88 keys for digital pianos that are affected by DMI064. Just today the service repair guy came by and did the replacement, and until now, I have not been able to reproduce the problem. Additionally the rubber sensors are of a slightly different type which produces a better feeling when playing the keys. The best part is that this was done for FREE, yes really. (Disclaimer: I can only speak for my own experience with Yamaha support in Denmark)
This is completely new to me! You are the first person who has had such luck that I know of. Thanks for letting me (and others who read comments) know about your success. Rich
@@richdavis4007 You are very welcome. The service guy even added a sticker beside the serial number to indicate, that this piano now has the official fix. My parents have a newer CLP than me, I do not think they have the problem. Indicating that this pertains to certain models and certain production years (I forgot to ask that :-)
@@druffyw Sounds like this pertains to just a few Yamaha keyboards. Thanks for all your information. I'm sure you are happy with such service and result! Rich
I've had to do this once or twice over the years. The last load-sounding key I managed to fix by using one of those ball pump (long) nozzles and blowing through the keys in between them. 😊
You can actually see a white speck on the specific contact that had the problem. Congrats! I'm about to do the same thing on my (different model, RadioShack) keyboard tomorrow, I hope it's as simple.
Nice video. At 2:28, a paper egg carton is good for organizing small screws, just make a note on each compartment with a sharpie. So, for your viewers out there... you may want to hold off on throwing away your egg cartons and bulid up a reserve. They are stackable and dont go bad on the shelf.
...they say that if you don't find something else that does not belong inside when cleaning a piano, it is not a real piano, and that was not a real cleaning operation! Genuinely nice video, I'm about to embark in cleaning my own old PSR, and this video just gave me an idea to look first for the correct tools for the job.
Thanks, Frank. This video was made several years ago during a whole different life it seems. But I remember the day and the excitement so clearly. This was a big achievement for me in what took a couple or three hours . . . including making the video! Best wishes to you. Rich
It showed while searching on how to fix some mute keys @@richdavis4007 and I stayed at the end of it! My problem is that I don't have louder keys, all the contrary. I already started collecting what I'm going to be using this long weekend to have it ready. At this point I even found the expression pedal and the sustain pedal, which by itself I'm calling it a good omen. Hope you are doing well in health and surrounded by your loved ones. Have a great rest of the year.
@@FrankBruce It's nice having a little extra no-rush time to do something like this. I've got a Mavic Mini drone I need to give some attention to. You've inspired me to tackle my project! Thanks, Frank. Rich
Usually this problem happen because of the rubber contacts. It should be cleaned it the first place. I had the same problem in the past with several instruments that I had. In some of them I had to exchange the contacts with those from other place because the simple cleaning didnt help, after that the sound got back to normal.
At 4:12 The proper screwdriver is VERY important. There are 3 types of screws that LOOK like philips in most consumer electronics (I am not talking sizes, I mean types). These are: Phillips, Reed and Prince, and Pozi Drive. The screws all look similar at first glace but if you look closely at the driver tip, you can see the differences. Phillips have a flattened tip, Reed and Prince have a pointed tip, and Pozi Drive has tiny ridges between the "wings" of the tip. If you use the wrong tip on the wrong screw, you will most likely strip the screw head. There are several web site that explain this.
At 3:47 you can magnitze most screwdrivers by stroking a strong permanent magnet ONE WAY from the handle toward the tip (use the same end of the magnet for each stroke). About 20 moderately fast smooth strokes usually is all it takes. The magnetism wears away after heavy use but will hold for years. You can always re-magnitze it any time you want. If you remember which side of a magnet you used, stroking that side of the magnetic back from the tip to the handle can demagnitize it (but its hard to get it to zero). A degaussing coil is better for that.
I've got 2 dead keys currently. The keyboard got horribly dusty, so no wonder - but I'll try fixing it while it's turned on like you did, so I can monitor in real time whether cleaning helps.
Well done, although I consider that the screws that hold the keyboard itself should not be removed because you will have problems when you want to turn everything over to re-adjust the back cover. I think many keyboards are like this. Usually it is enough to remove the screws that remain on the outer contour of the cover. If the cover comes off normally with that, do not remove the other screws. I made that mistake when removing the cover on mine. And to prevent dust from getting into the contacts, keyboards should be sealed more effectively. It's the smallest specks of dust that sneak in. These devices require to be as well sealed as a hard drive.
That's the spirit! I wish you the very best. The day I fixed my keyboard and made this video is one I will never forget! It does help that viewer comments help remind me, too. Rich Davis
I Will try be cause i have this high sound with the same note in certi octava 🤣 anyway happy to find you thanx to my friend Valeria, i will let you know if its work man! Bye
Infelizmente no DGX-630 a parte das teclas não é tão fácil alcançar. É preciso retirar a parte do fundo, depois outros parafusos atrás das teclas, quando você retira... o cabo flat desconecta e aí começa outro problema. Não sei se foi um erro de projeto no DGX-630 mas é bem diferente da forma que você teve acesso às teclas e conseqüentemente as borrachas e placas... 😢
By the way, if your piano keys are not attached by screws as shown in the video, they probably have a small tip (pink in my case) which is attached to the board and holds each key with pressure (really annoying btw) so i recommed a small and flat screwdriver to push them back with relative strength and to put them back just apply light pressure in the correct direction😇
Thanks for uploading this! unfortunately, while it fixed my keyboard for a little bit, the keys I fixed died again. It's weird, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. What it's most strange is that only the E and A# from the middle to the right don't work. And in one opportunity, playing one of the E really hard made everything else work again? I am very confused about it. If anyone knows what it might be, I'd be very grateful.
thanks for sharing your idea, but may I ask if you could help me how to fix and off-tune piano, I have two piano both off tunes, I notice that when it rains, some keys might off tune and I live close to the sea, both piano do not have proper lids when I bought them, instead I just cover them up with cloths. Would you please help me fix my piano. Thank you
Hello, can you help me with a sugestion please? I bought a Clavinova PF P100, and i have several keys not to sensitive, when pressing easy no sound, need to hit harder to get a soft sound. It can be the dust causing this problem?
@@Lermacto I'm so happy my video helped. It was a great day for me when I fixed my keyboard and made the video, and it always pleases me when someone else can use what I learned. Best wishes to you! Rich
I called Yamaha, and they said that they had no record for my PSR270 having keys which mysteriously became louder. The tech suggested I do the total reset by powering up the board while holding down the highest key, and of course.... that did nothing.
It's really frustrating to deal with online support sometimes. That's one reason I was so happy to fix my keyboard with help from TH-cam videos. I hope you find your solution. Rich
keys on dgx or p and ydp series have some noise even when they are new and right out of the box . is there any ways to solve it and make them more quiet
Probably best to completely ignore that! That's my opinion after years of owning and playing these keyboards. I'm not a piano or electric keyboard repair person.
Thank you very much for this video. I got the same problem with my brandnew DGX 670 two times. First one after one month (!), got a new one and same problem after 6 month. I didn´t wanted to transport it again, because the 670is pretty heavy. Same problem, same key. What ist wrong with Yamaha? Is it a construction error of the Yamaha GHS? How is it possible to have dirt under the rubber? This is really annoying. The piano is placed in a clean room, no carpet and we did care a lot. So where does it come from and how to avoid? Thank you a lot again, Rich!👍👍👍
I've had my DGX-650 about seven years, play it every day, and I've had no problems with it at all. It's hard to imagine your piano having the same problem I had. The keyboard I cleaned was purchased at a thrift store and probably not taken good care of. I wouldn't think a piano would have this problem after one month.
Maybe it's humidity that caused your problem. There was obviously dust inside my piano and dirt. The people who had it before me did not take good care of it. All I can recommend to you is contact Yamaha support. I wish you the best. Rich
@@richdavis4007 thx..yes i always lived near sea..though moved to dry climate now..to top it i have a labrador at home..last time i got it serviced by Yamaha to discover it was because of dog's hair🙂 Will contact yamaha again..most of the centres are shut due to covid. Delhi is presently facing covid music😥😢
Good luck, friend. If you have one of these digital pianos, I guess you could take it apart and have a look. If you can keep track of the screws and have long screw drivers it shouldn't be too hard. I did the job and made a video as I went in 2 or 3 hours. Rich
Hello sir I have a same piano, when I cleaned it I took out all rubber contacts and keys set and on keys set there are numbers abs 33 abs 34...32...21 like that some.numbers are on rubber contacts but when I reassembled I forgot which rubber contacts goes on which octave and which keyset goes on which octave so I randomly installed them. I would appreciate if you could tell me the squence for rubbwr contacts and key sets, ty 🙂
i am having yamaha keyboard as a same problem ,even i cleaned the pcb board but still problem so i replaced new rubber pad but problem not solved.. can you tell me if it is fault on motherboard ? and i forget to tell you ,all are keys are working in normal position but when i swiched on touch on off switch that time problem give start ..
I can prove no more help than this video. I'm not a piano technician. I solved this problem for myself but I have nothing more. Best wishes. Rich Davis
Hello sir. Nice video. I have a little problem with my new korg Nautilus synthesizer synth key bed. One of my Black key has a noise. Spring kind of noise. Although it's working. All the other keys are fine how can i fix it. Is it fine to use it like that.
If it's new and can be returned I would. If you are willing to play it as is, I doubt if there would be any harm. On my Yamaha synthesizer I have a key that's just a bit spongy. Doesn't quite feel like the other keys. I play on. 😊😊
Hi thanks for the good explanation about the problem. I have a keyboard that one of the clavier is weaker and needs more power to make a normal sound. Could you please tell me if that needs cleaning or other problems has? Best wishes Jakob 😊
I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question. I fixed my piano by watching TH-cam videos and then trying what I thought might work to fix my specific problem. That's the best suggestion I have for you. Good luck! Rich Davis
Great video up to this point, but I still gave you a like after this point. At 8:50, dont use spit to clean electronics, that is ONLY for the "battle field" and you have no other choice under heavy fire. Spit is corrisive. So, with you egg cartons, scredriver magnet, and assortment of proper tip screwdrivers (see my other comments), keep Isopropyl Alcohol on hand. 95% or better. 99% is the best for cleaning most electronics and any Ace/True Value hardware stores will carry it or get it for you.
Isopropyl alcohol would've been better.. Also if a key doesn't produce a sound or the sound it produces is too low, you can use a graphite pencil on those tiny circuits under the key
@@richdavis4007 I see I am planning to use 70 % isopropyl alcohol wipes to clean, would that be ok? Also I saw some videos where the person used a pencil to shade the covered sensors , is it necessary? Thanks again
@@melputra919 70% isopropyl alcohol is a good choice. I didn't use a pencil to shade covered sensors, so I wouldn't think it would be necessary. Good luck! Rich
@@richdavis4007 hi , I spent half a day cleaning the sensors and so far it is working . So is it the sensors accumulated dirt which I can’t see and thus cause the loud keys? Actually when I opened the keyboard ‘s rubber it looked clean but I still followed and wipe it
Is there any solution ? My only eflat key working but it sometimes sounds waay loud than the other keys. Its so random sometimes working fine but sometimes sounds so loud and it scares me. 😨 And i realized that that loud sound appears more often. Just a week ago everything was fine 😥

The joy that came at 10:56. I am watching this video and I am about to fix a similar keyboard 🙏. Thanks a lot
Best wishes to you! Good luck, friend. 😊😊😊
@@richdavis4007 Thanks alot. I managed to fix it. No loud keys and the keys that weren't sounding are now sounding
Super! Super! I've very happy this worked for you! Rich Davis@@bashiiesibuyi6770
Your elation is charming. I feel the same way whenever a repair goes well.
It was a very exciting time. DIY is the only way to go!
Thank you! I found only one guy, who offered me to fix this issue for 60 dollars. Also he said that I have to bring the piano to his flat at the other coast of my city! For Kazakhstan, that’s quite expensive. You saved my money and most of all, saved my time
I'm thrilled my video helped!😊😊😊😊
Thank you, your video was a great help as I have the same problem. I purchased one recently as an interest as I joined Royal Australian Navy band in 1965 after learning piano and then went on to play clarinet . Now 72 I look forward to tinkering as I have not touched a piano for over 50 years
I'm glad my video helped and hope you enjoy piano once again after all these years. I started music late but really enjoy piano, ukulele and singing these days. I try to post a playing and singing video every day, which keeps me motivated. Rich
Great video. I have one key especially and maybe a few more like that. Now need to find a place and time to fix it.
Loved your exuberance - “I FIXED IT!!” - when discovered a saliva moistened q-tip fixed the problem. Thanks for taking the time to show how it’s done and tips you gave.
This is one of the most special videos I have on TH-cam, and there are thousands. Best wishes with your fix! Rich
If it ever happens again I recommend you use rubbing alcohol because it doesn't harm circuit boards
Sounds good to me. Rich
I had few keys sound bad, after reading in commets here i tried to use the other end of vacum to do blower with tiny nozzle tip and blow in the spaces of the keys and its amazing the bad sounds gone and normal sounds comes back, so the videos and the commets really helps to solve my problem in my dgx 640, so no need to open and clean inside the piano as i did before. thanks to everyone.
Thanks for sharing your experience. For those not wanting to take their keyboards apart, your methods sounds worthy of a try. I can only vouch for sure what I did in this video. Very best wishes. Rich Davis
Just got a same problem on my DGX-660. Now i'm gonna disassemble my piano. That's what i've read about what the problem is: "There're 2 switches mounted at different heights on every key, The piano does a really clever thing of measuring how long it takes for the two switches to be made. If you brush the key lightly there will be a greater time between both switches being made, in contrast if you strike the key hard the switches make much quicker. If however one switch fails, generally the piano will play the key at full volume as only one switch makes."
And that's exactly what i saw in your video (see at 8:34) - the A-key (the 3rd from the right side) had some white particle on it when you removed that grey rubber thing. Hope, in my case it will also be that easy... 🤔🤔🤔
Thank you for the video! 🙏🙏🙏
I hope, hope, hope it works for you. If so, you will feel wonderful!! Rich
Finally fixed my loud keys after hours of try and error, at the end i had to remove the gray membrane and replace it with another one from a different octave and it worked!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Small tip for the ones who will try this: remember to always try your keys before screwing all the screws!!! And if you did it once do it again cause once is never enough😑😑at least in my case, i literally screw 200 times because of this dumb error.
Muchas gracias desde Chile,i'm subscribed to your channel now, thankful to you and proud of me at the same time hahaha . I couldn't stand more days hearing these OFFENSIVE keys 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Super! You hung with it and didn't give up! It's a great achievement! Rich
Yess ! I was planning really to open up my 88 key Yamaha keyboard . It also create on note too loud … as I play my music … I am glad you showed this tricks tutorial thank you very much
I'm glad you found my video and hope it inspires and helps you. I've posted 6,000 videos on TH-cam and this could be the best one. 😊😊
Thank You Sir for Your video, i am from Poland, i bought piano, same as you said, i tested it before buy, but i didn't notice difference.When i came back to home i noticed difference . Fortunately i have found your video Sir. Thank you for your video
Very best wishes to you. Rich Davis😊😊
And I was thinking about using a more fancy solution and you just practically licked it, absolute mad lad, thank you so much for the video
😇
Thanks. I was thrilled to discover this solution and the fact it worked put a huge smile on my face. Rich
Thankyou Rich!! That helped for my Roland!!
I tried to use hair drier in between the keys!! That did work out without removing any parts
Appreciate your help!!
Super! Good tip. Rich😊😊
At 9:05, clean everything with 95% or better Isopropyl Alcohol and also clean the Carbon Impregnated rubber contacts inside the gray peice you removed at 8:31. Its those contacts that touch the "serpantine" traces on the printed circuit board that makes the electrical connection when you press a key. Sometimes you may have to rough up a rubber contact very lightly with 200 grit sand paper. Pollution in the air glazes over the rubber over time and prevents the carbon from making good contact.
BTW... The reason there are two switches for each key is that they both don't contact at the same time when you press a key. One will contact first and then a few milliseconds later the other will contact. The computer in the keyboard measures this time difference and determines how quickly or slowly you are pressing the key to make it sound louder or softer like a real piano.
Sorry, for all the commets. You did a great job, but I do this every day, and just want to help you and your viewers.
Thanks for your helpful information!!
Thank you, I've recently noticed the same problem with the exact same key on my piano. I never thought the fix would be as simple as just cleaning the sensors underneath
I found the fix on TH-cam and then tried it myself. I was thrilled to be able to fix my keyboard with no experience with this sort of repair. 😊😊
Thanks, it solves the same issue in the p45 model!
Super!
The thrill in your voice does it for me 😅😅😅
It was a thrill for me for sure. This was great fix.😊
Agree on this problem indeed. Thankx for the video and solution! Was very helpful!
EXTRA TIP: MARK THE KEYNOTE WITH A REMOVABLE STICKER
Then you always know which key is the disturbed one! Thankx anyway!
I'm glad my video helped. Thanks for letting me know! Rich
Thank you, sir! My grandpa had this problem with our Yamaha.
Glad it helped!
I have a Yamaha CLP-545 that had the loud key problem on some of the keys. I thought it was a dust problem, but actually it was not.
I called Yamaha service center in Denmark (the country) and even though the piano is not under warranty it appears that Yamaha a number of years ago issued a bulletin named DMI064 which basically means that they will replace central parts of the touch registration prints and rubber for all 88 keys for digital pianos that are affected by DMI064.
Just today the service repair guy came by and did the replacement, and until now, I have not been able to reproduce the problem. Additionally the rubber sensors are of a slightly different type which produces a better feeling when playing the keys.
The best part is that this was done for FREE, yes really.
(Disclaimer: I can only speak for my own experience with Yamaha support in Denmark)
This is completely new to me! You are the first person who has had such luck that I know of. Thanks for letting me (and others who read comments) know about your success. Rich
@@richdavis4007 You are very welcome. The service guy even added a sticker beside the serial number to indicate, that this piano now has the official fix. My parents have a newer CLP than me, I do not think they have the problem. Indicating that this pertains to certain models and certain production years (I forgot to ask that :-)
@@druffyw Sounds like this pertains to just a few Yamaha keyboards. Thanks for all your information. I'm sure you are happy with such service and result! Rich
Have the same problem on the Ab3 key on my Korg B1. It's driving me crazy. This gives me the push I needed to try and fix it myself. Thanks!
Good luck. It worked like a miracle for me. Rich Davis😊😊
I've had to do this once or twice over the years. The last load-sounding key I managed to fix by using one of those ball pump (long) nozzles and blowing through the keys in between them. 😊
Thank you! Nice tips for others who want to clean and fix their
keyboards! Rich 😊
You can actually see a white speck on the specific contact that had the problem. Congrats! I'm about to do the same thing on my (different model, RadioShack) keyboard tomorrow, I hope it's as simple.
Good luck!😊😊
Thanks for posting that. My Yamaha is making the same noise.
I hope my video helps you fix it. Rich😊😊
You actually identified the wrong key (B flat) but cleaning the A worked well thanks
I'm glad it worked for you! Rich 😊😊😊
Nice video. At 2:28, a paper egg carton is good for organizing small screws, just make a note on each compartment with a sharpie. So, for your viewers out there... you may want to hold off on throwing away your egg cartons and bulid up a reserve. They are stackable and dont go bad on the shelf.
That would have been very useful!! I'll remember next time I have a lot of screws to deal with in a project. Thanks!!! Rich
@@richdavis4007 I learned that egg carton trick from my dad working on engines. I am 60 now, so I pass on these tid bits when I can.
😊😊
...they say that if you don't find something else that does not belong inside when cleaning a piano, it is not a real piano, and that was not a real cleaning operation! Genuinely nice video, I'm about to embark in cleaning my own old PSR, and this video just gave me an idea to look first for the correct tools for the job.
Thanks, Frank. This video was made several years ago during a whole different life it seems. But I remember the day and the excitement so clearly. This was a big achievement for me in what took a couple or three hours . . . including making the video! Best wishes to you. Rich
It showed while searching on how to fix some mute keys @@richdavis4007 and I stayed at the end of it! My problem is that I don't have louder keys, all the contrary. I already started collecting what I'm going to be using this long weekend to have it ready. At this point I even found the expression pedal and the sustain pedal, which by itself I'm calling it a good omen. Hope you are doing well in health and surrounded by your loved ones. Have a great rest of the year.
@@FrankBruce It's nice having a little extra no-rush time to do something like this. I've got a Mavic Mini drone I need to give some attention to. You've inspired me to tackle my project! Thanks, Frank. Rich
Usually this problem happen because of the rubber contacts. It should be cleaned it the first place. I had the same problem in the past with several instruments that I had. In some of them I had to exchange the contacts with those from other place because the simple cleaning didnt help, after that the sound got back to normal.
Thanks for the tip!
At 4:12 The proper screwdriver is VERY important. There are 3 types of screws that LOOK like philips in most consumer electronics (I am not talking sizes, I mean types). These are: Phillips, Reed and Prince, and Pozi Drive. The screws all look similar at first glace but if you look closely at the driver tip, you can see the differences. Phillips have a flattened tip, Reed and Prince have a pointed tip, and Pozi Drive has tiny ridges between the "wings" of the tip. If you use the wrong tip on the wrong screw, you will most likely strip the screw head. There are several web site that explain this.
Thanks for your helpful information!!😊
At 3:47 you can magnitze most screwdrivers by stroking a strong permanent magnet ONE WAY from the handle toward the tip (use the same end of the magnet for each stroke). About 20 moderately fast smooth strokes usually is all it takes. The magnetism wears away after heavy use but will hold for years. You can always re-magnitze it any time you want. If you remember which side of a magnet you used, stroking that side of the magnetic back from the tip to the handle can demagnitize it (but its hard to get it to zero). A degaussing coil is better for that.
Thanks for your helpful tips! These should be useful for people watching my video! Rich
@@richdavis4007 Rich, it is refreshing to see people give it a go like you did. It's my pleasure to add my 2, 3, 4, 5 cents [smile].
😊😊😊😊😊
I've got 2 dead keys currently. The keyboard got horribly dusty, so no wonder - but I'll try fixing it while it's turned on like you did, so I can monitor in real time whether cleaning helps.
Good luck!
Well done, although I consider that the screws that hold the keyboard itself should not be removed because you will have problems when you want to turn everything over to re-adjust the back cover. I think many keyboards are like this. Usually it is enough to remove the screws that remain on the outer contour of the cover. If the cover comes off normally with that, do not remove the other screws. I made that mistake when removing the cover on mine. And to prevent dust from getting into the contacts, keyboards should be sealed more effectively. It's the smallest specks of dust that sneak in. These devices require to be as well sealed as a hard drive.
Thanks for your tip! I've done my fix and hopefully will never have to do again!! Your suggestions may help others. Rich😊😊
I have a roland piano, and today i got the same issue. The exact same A just got louder. I'm going to try this aswell!
Best of luck to you! Rich Davis
How was it ? I also have a roland fp30 to be exact and im scared to try since it was an expensive buy .
Ok I’m watching this from my bed and I cant wait till I wake up tomorrow so I can hopefully fix my piano. 💯💯🤤🤤🤤
That's the spirit! I wish you the very best. The day I fixed my keyboard and made this video is one I will never forget! It does help that viewer comments help remind me, too. Rich Davis
Rich - Way to go. Satisfaction comes from fixing an issue like that. Rick
It was one of the highlights of my entire year. It seemed to be magic and there was no hope unless I did the job myself. Thanks, Rick. Rich
10:50 was the best part when he figured out everything is fixed
Yes, it was!😊😊
Hallelujah! Excellent video sir
I'm glad if my video helped. Thanks!
Great video thanks! Got the same problem with my digital piano so I'll give this a try
I hope you get the same result I did. Thanks! Rich
howd it work out
I Will try be cause i have this high sound with the same note in certi octava 🤣 anyway happy to find you thanx to my friend Valeria, i will let you know if its work man! Bye
Good luck. I hope this works for you as well as it did for me. Rich Davis
Thanks for sharing this useful information 👍
It was my pleasure!
Infelizmente no DGX-630 a parte das teclas não é tão fácil alcançar. É preciso retirar a parte do fundo, depois outros parafusos atrás das teclas, quando você retira... o cabo flat desconecta e aí começa outro problema. Não sei se foi um erro de projeto no DGX-630 mas é bem diferente da forma que você teve acesso às teclas e conseqüentemente as borrachas e placas... 😢
Sinto muito. Obrigado por me avisar!
By the way, if your piano keys are not attached by screws as shown in the video, they probably have a small tip (pink in my case) which is attached to the board and holds each key with pressure (really annoying btw) so i recommed a small and flat screwdriver to push them back with relative strength and to put them back just apply light pressure in the correct direction😇
Thanks for your suggestion to others! 😊😊
Wow! Amazing! May God bless you amen!!!
Thank you so much!😊😊😊
Good job. CONGRATULATIONS! 😍❤️💯👏
Thank you! 😃
@@richdavis4007. You're welcome. At video 12:06 I saw a cat. Very wonderful. 😘❤️💯👏
Hello Mr. Rich Davis.
I’m just asking, would this work on a different model from a different music instrument company producer?
I would think, yes. 😊
thanks! this helped me fix my piano as well!
Super! I'm very happy it worked for you. Rich Davis
It looked like a piece of white debris at 8:38 was your problem did you see it maybe it blew away after the strip was removed.
I saw it. Evidence was very clear. Thanks, David. Rich
Thanks for uploading this! unfortunately, while it fixed my keyboard for a little bit, the keys I fixed died again. It's weird, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. What it's most strange is that only the E and A# from the middle to the right don't work. And in one opportunity, playing one of the E really hard made everything else work again? I am very confused about it. If anyone knows what it might be, I'd be very grateful.
thanks for sharing your idea, but may I ask if you could help me how to fix and off-tune piano, I have two piano both off tunes, I notice that when it rains, some keys might off tune and I live close to the sea, both piano do not have proper lids when I bought them, instead I just cover them up with cloths. Would you please help me fix my piano. Thank you
Your problem is beyond my area of expertise. My only advise is buy a new digital keyboard. Very best wishes. Rich
Thanks for reaching out. Really appreciate your help. Regards, Nette
Thank you! 😊😊@@nynettecomfy4275
sooo satisfying!!
Super!
I liked that fix
Thanks! Rich
Hello, can you help me with a sugestion please? I bought a Clavinova PF P100, and i have several keys not to sensitive, when pressing easy no sound, need to hit harder to get a soft sound. It can be the dust causing this problem?
I can think of no other cause.
U r heaven sent!!
I'm glad my video helped!!!
i cant believe this, i also found a guitar pick inside my piano, and the same color too it seemed
Those are slippery little things, for sure!
@@richdavis4007 Yeah haha, ty for the video! it helped me tons :)
@@Lermacto I'm so happy my video helped. It was a great day for me when I fixed my keyboard and made the video, and it always pleases me when someone else can use what I learned. Best wishes to you! Rich
I called Yamaha, and they said that they had no record for my PSR270 having keys which mysteriously became louder. The tech suggested I do the total reset by powering up the board while holding down the highest key, and of course.... that did nothing.
It's really frustrating to deal with online support sometimes. That's one reason I was so happy to fix my keyboard with help from TH-cam videos. I hope you find your solution. Rich
halleluyaaa. thanks for sharing this with us sir. god Bless you
I'm glad my video helped! Rich
Thank you so much for this video!
You are so welcome!😊😊😊
Thank you for the help ☺️🙂 cheers!
This is my top favorite of 3,000 videos I've posted on TH-cam. I'm glad it helped! Rich
keys on dgx or p and ydp series have some noise even when they are new and right out of the box . is there any ways to solve it and make them more quiet
Probably best to completely ignore that! That's my opinion after years of owning and playing these keyboards. I'm not a piano or electric keyboard repair person.
So are the keys on this model constant volume output regardless of the weight they are played?
No. Touch sensitive.
Thank you very much for this video. I got the same problem with my brandnew DGX 670 two times. First one after one month (!), got a new one and same problem after 6 month. I didn´t wanted to transport it again, because the 670is pretty heavy. Same problem, same key. What ist wrong with Yamaha? Is it a construction error of the Yamaha GHS? How is it possible to have dirt under the rubber? This is really annoying. The piano is placed in a clean room, no carpet and we did care a lot. So where does it come from and how to avoid? Thank you a lot again, Rich!👍👍👍
I've had my DGX-650 about seven years, play it every day, and I've had no problems with it at all. It's hard to imagine your piano having the same problem I had. The keyboard I cleaned was purchased at a thrift store and probably not taken good care of. I wouldn't think a piano would have this problem after one month.
I have a Korg Piano and one of its key sounds Double...hope it will be repaired the same way .. I shall
Good luck. Best wishes. Rich 😊
thank god I found this lol I use to play with 6 or 7 black keys it's making me nuts now and I want to fix it
I hope it works for you as it did me. Best wishes. Rich
I have a new yamaha piano..just 4 yeard old ... many keys have become loud.. despite the fact that i always keep it covered 😪😔
Maybe it's humidity that caused your problem. There was obviously dust inside my piano and dirt. The people who had it before me did not take good care of it. All I can recommend to you is contact Yamaha support. I wish you the best. Rich
@@richdavis4007 thx..yes i always lived near sea..though moved to dry climate now..to top it i have a labrador at home..last time i got it serviced by Yamaha to discover it was because of dog's hair🙂
Will contact yamaha again..most of the centres are shut due to covid.
Delhi is presently facing covid music😥😢
Good luck, friend. If you have one of these digital pianos, I guess you could take it apart and have a look. If you can keep track of the screws and have long screw drivers it shouldn't be too hard. I did the job and made a video as I went in 2 or 3 hours. Rich
Yes rich..it's digital and wil try out the repairs
Good luck. You'll be happy if it works and you don't lose much, but some time, if it doesn't.
Your display has a contrast button on the back..just turn it and you will see that you can see your display clearly..
Thanks for the tip! 😊😊😊😊😊
Hello sir I have a same piano, when I cleaned it I took out all rubber contacts and keys set and on keys set there are numbers abs 33 abs 34...32...21 like that some.numbers are on rubber contacts but when I reassembled I forgot which rubber contacts goes on which octave and which keyset goes on which octave so I randomly installed them. I would appreciate if you could tell me the squence for rubbwr contacts and key sets, ty 🙂

Hello sir. Nice video.
I have a little problem with my new korg Nautilus synthesizer synth key bed.
One of my Black key has a noise. Spring kind of noise. Although it's working. All the other keys are fine how can i fix it. Is it fine to use it like that.
If it's new and can be returned I would. If you are willing to play it as is, I doubt if there would be any harm. On my Yamaha synthesizer I have a key that's just a bit spongy. Doesn't quite feel like the other keys. I play on. 😊😊
@@richdavis4007 when I play the spring sound doesn't brother. . Do you have a montage? ☺
Hi thanks for the good explanation about the problem. I have a keyboard that one of the clavier is weaker and needs more power to make a normal sound. Could you please tell me if that needs cleaning or other problems has?
Best wishes
Jakob 😊
I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question. I fixed my piano by watching TH-cam videos and then trying what I thought might work to fix my specific problem. That's the best suggestion I have for you. Good luck! Rich Davis
Great video up to this point, but I still gave you a like after this point. At 8:50, dont use spit to clean electronics, that is ONLY for the "battle field" and you have no other choice under heavy fire. Spit is corrisive. So, with you egg cartons, scredriver magnet, and assortment of proper tip screwdrivers (see my other comments), keep Isopropyl Alcohol on hand. 95% or better. 99% is the best for cleaning most electronics and any Ace/True Value hardware stores will carry it or get it for you.
Thanks for your helpful information!!
Isopropyl alcohol would've been better..
Also if a key doesn't produce a sound or the sound it produces is too low, you can use a graphite pencil on those tiny circuits under the key
Thanks for the tips. Rich😊😊
10:55 ... great moment !!!
😊😊😊😊 thanks for watching!
I have more than 1 key with this problem any advise? Thanks u
I would try the same solution that worked for me.
@@richdavis4007 I see I am planning to use 70 % isopropyl alcohol wipes to clean, would that be ok? Also I saw some videos where the person used a pencil to shade the covered sensors , is it necessary? Thanks again
@@melputra919 70% isopropyl alcohol is a good choice. I didn't use a pencil to shade covered sensors, so I wouldn't think it would be necessary. Good luck! Rich
@@richdavis4007 thank you so much 😊will try Tmr
@@richdavis4007 hi , I spent half a day cleaning the sensors and so far it is working . So is it the sensors accumulated dirt which I can’t see and thus cause the loud keys? Actually when I opened the keyboard ‘s rubber it looked clean but I still followed and wipe it
Is there any solution ? My only eflat key working but it sometimes sounds waay loud than the other keys. Its so random sometimes working fine but sometimes sounds so loud and it scares me. 😨
And i realized that that loud sound appears more often.
Just a week ago everything was fine 😥
The only solution I know is covered in this video.
Did you just cleaning the pcb to fix the all this problem ?
Yes. Dust on the key contacts.
Are all the screws the same size?
Digital piano is no longer apart but as I recall they aren't the same size.
Thank you sir
