Some instructions for fixing piano keys:
1. Keys stuck, cleaning dirty keys:
- Determine material of your keys: First determine what is the material of your digital piano keys? If you have those ebony black and ivory white keys, you need to clean them with extensive care. Many of the digital pianos now days have plastic keys. If you witness some yellowing in your white keys, have grain and you will be able to see a join between bottom and top layers of keys. If not then you have plastic ones.
- Use a damp cloth for cleaning of your keys and make them dry.
- Use a small amount of liquid soap with a damp cloth.
- Clean dirty keys with this cloth. Your grip must be firm but rubbing must be light.
- Gently rub keys until they are completely clean.
- These steps can be followed for plastic keys but for ivory keys, you would need to get ivory scrapper.
2. If keys still stuck:
- If keys still stuck, check cleaning instructions specific for your piano brand. You can find these instructions in user manual and can search for help online. You will easily find cleaning instructions for many of the leading brands of digital pianos.
- Keys may become unstick as you wiggle your fingers through them up and down gently.
- You can try pressing down the keys that stuck and others adjacent to them. You can release the keys by using a flathead screwdriver. Insert it gently between keys that stuck, drive them apart and twist it slightly.
3. Broken Keys:
- Find out where the problem lies if the keys are not stuck because of dirt and they are not sounding correct. One of your keys may be broken.
- In order to remove the broken key, remove screws of the keyboard from both sides and lift up casing of the board.
- Remove the key stop on the front of board. This stop keeps the keys from moving.
- Push the key down that you want to remove and unhook it from the frame. In order to prevent from other keys to come out, you may need to slide in a thin object down towards the key to separate it.
- Use cleaner and rag to clean the entire bedding of key. Cleaning the piano would improve playability of piano.
- Now when you are done removing the broken one put the key stop back and reassembles the keyboard.
