Dropped guitar pick between keys

Post by n8erad3 »

Hi guys, I goofed today. Put a guitar pick on the keyboard and it fell in between the keys, go figure. Two questions, how much harm could that pick do to the keyboard inside, and how do I get it out? Thanks so much in advance.

Harm is relative, probably no harm at all unless you are really unlucky and it gets between a key and its rubber contact, but in any case you'd better get it out and the only way to do that is to open your NP.

I have had a guitar pick inside my NS2 for over two years, so far, so good!

Thanks guys, really appreciate the responses. Seems like it's not as critical an emergency as I initially thought it was, but I will try to figure out a way to get it out soon. Just contacted Clavia support, hoping that they'll help me with DIY instead of directing me to a repair shop.

I wrote back to you earlier today -- well, now it's yesterday -- well, really now it's tomorrow from yesterday's point of view -- and have not heard back.

Did you try turning it upside down and shaking it? Is the guitar pick metal? If it's plastic, I really wouldn't worry about it too much.

Anyway, you have my phone number and work email, unless my response was spam-filtered? check your spam folder...

Bless, Pablo

Ah, just checked my email and found your message! Just responded. It's a plastic pick, so I hope it's not going to be a problem.

This has happened to me before. With patiente and a nail sandpaper I was able to drag it out shaking the Nord a bit. However if you have official support in your country you should try that better.
