Slow key return

pjstingray · Post by **pjstingray** » 16 Feb 2016, 16:00

Hi folks - hope someone can help. I have just noticed that my F# key is very slow to return sometimes worse than others. Has anyone else experienced this or know what causes it please?

Hej!

What keybed do you have: HA88, HA76, SW73 ?

That info can help someone like Pablo (certified tech)...

Good point - it is an HA88

Great!

Pablo will soon get up from bed (he's in the western colonies, somewhere, and not in the old world, like you and me) and give you a very good answer ...

Sorry, but I really have no clue what might cause an F# to return slowly. Slow return of Gb on the other hand is....

But seriously, that is highly uncommon and I seldom/never get reports like this. There will be no substitute for visual inspection. When I dod get these kinds of rare reports it will generally turn out that a guitar pick or other tiny bit of something which doesn't belong in there has lodged itself into an unhappy place, sometimes the result of having small children making little "deposits." This may or may not be the case in your situation. Please contact your UK distributor for additional info and/or possible reference to someone who can open your Nord up and have a look.

Bless,

Pablo

Thanks Pablo - No kids - was working one day then not the next - in between uses I use the cover - it has only had really light use as I also have a real piano. Nearest dealer is a 300 mile round trip, so any advice on taking the action apart to inspect please? It now feels strange on the way down as well, almost like air resistance. Is it possible that the key's weighting could have become detached? Doesn't feel like anything in the way, just a lifeless key.

Update - I took it all apart and found that there was a yellow rubber strip that surrounds every one keys around the pivot point. There was a deformity in the rubber which was causing the strange feel and action of the key - it was really small, but once trimmed the key now works as it should. All back together and working. Always a tentative moment when first switching on after having taken something apart.
