Casio privia px350. My dp started to have mechanical stronger noises when pressing down the keys affected seem wobbly and seem to hit something as if moving sideways slightly. Only tapping the key repeatedly also seems noisy in such keys but it does not seem to touch the adjacent keys. Id like to know what are the possible causes as sending the dp could cause more issues due to transport and I don't know if I want to risk that. Thank you so much..

The Previa key construction was a lot better than yamaha\'s, however it still suffered the normal casualties caused by even the slightest \'knock\'. Believe it or not, most damages are caused to DPs when you\'re NOT playing it. For example, transporting - setting up - packing down etc. I used to market Roland and Casio DPs for a number of years. And the most common problem was the \'stuck key\' syndrome (as well as dust on the contacts). I bought it down to the way people, children, adults actually SIT down to the piano to play. Instead of using the piano stool to balance themselves, many people place their hands on the KEYBOARD before they plant !!! NO NO NO :/ That is the prime reason there are key breakages in - pretty much the same place. Children are a classic example when they sit at a piano. They use the keyboard to leverage themselves UP. Because the DP is not on, it doesn\'t make a sound - therefore "it can\'t POSSIBLY my child\'s fault!!" Oh yeah...have your darling angel sit at an acoustic piano and they\'ll be playing 12th Street Rag before they even get their on the seat!!!



Long and short, possibly broken band, slipped hammer - or broken. Here\'s a video which explains how you might be able to fix the problem yourself. Not much to it really...just take your time and don\'t force anything
