In his latest video, Markus Fuller takes a look at how to repair dead keys on synthesizers and organs.
In the video, Fuller fixes two sets of dead keys on a ORLA keyboard organ. He notes, though, that the same general approach works with many brands of keyboards.
Do you have your own experiences fixing dead keys on a keyboard? If so, let us know in the comments what worked – or didn’t work – for you.
I wish could say that I’ve never had to do this sort of repair work, but it seems to be getting more and more common on my old synths.
Great video, as always.
Some rockstar spilled his PBR on the keyboard….
My God, those shorts…
Yeah. Those shorts were a bit much for me, too.
dont forget the tucked in shirt!
great vid! i need to harness the patience that this guy has.
Its all in the shorts
As great as the repair was, the dancing was the best part.
Its also all in the shorts 😀
nothing better than an english eccentric with an obsession and love of teaching it!
Great video. Most people can tackle this sort of repair. I did on my JD800 and restored it to rude health. You just need the time and a lot of patience.
Thank you so much Markus! This is just what my old board needed!
Good on you fella. I like your videos and it is interesting to learn about the technical side of equipment that’s under the bonnet.
Sounds like I should get inside my CS6x…except there are 35 screws to remove first!
Very useful. I was wondering if the alcohol might have done the job without the eraser. Hard to say. In any case, it’s good to see all that work out successfully in the end.
I used a paper clip to push in the silicon strips when I did the repair way back when.
Will someone please do a supercut of this guy’s best outfits?
