Broken HP key

Post by elektromin »

My heart skipped a beat today while rehearsing some big band tunes on my stage 3 hp... The G2 key suddenly went sloppy and almost unplayable! After some attempts to find the answer online, I decided to open it up and have a look at least. It turned out that the key hammer had broken off completely. Fortunately it was an easy repair with some glue. I hope it sticks...

Did this happen to anyone else?

I've had key issues with my previous Stage 3 and an issue with my Stage 4,all within last 12 months. one key became unattached at its pivot point on my current stage 4.I fiddled with it and managed to locate the key in the pivot.
So I have to say that the keyboard on these things are the weakest link.Everything else is fantastic.
