Third G from Bottom Stuck Down (Stage 2 EX 88)

Postby chironbreitbach » 14 Nov 2017, 03:00

The third G from the bottom is dropped below the rest of the key-bed and doesn't respond at all. No other noticeable issues. This happened shortly after I got it. Got it fixed by a proper piano technician, but it happened again, and I would like to have an understanding as to why.
Is it an easy or even possible fix by someone who has never opened a keyboard up?
Are there any parts that need replacement or just realignment?
Any recommended resources for this?
I live pretty remotely so taking it to someone familiar with Nord instruments or keyboards is a big endeavor.

Thank you thank you thank you.
Chiron. :keyboard2:

Here is a link to a video that shows how to open up a Stage 2 to repair the keys. Just take your time, make sure you take pictures during disassembly, and keep the screws separated so you know where each needs to be put back. Good luck!

Chiron, are you saying that the exact same "G" key broke again, or that a different key broke this time?
