Roland FP-8 on last legs?
Posted: 03 Jan 2010, 10:58
Hi all, my elderly FP-8 roland digital piano is getting a bit past it.
Some keys stopped playing and I managed to open and clean them up and sorted the problems, but now some are sounding at maximun volume which completely ruins anything you play.
Its had a hard life and been gigged for years and even the key mechanisums are really rattely and noisey.
Is there anything I could spray between all the contacts to make it last a bit longer?
Its been with me so long I am a buit attached to it as it "talks" really well to my Roland RA-800 arranger so it will be hard to get yet another new bit of gear but maybe its unavoidable.
If its beyond help, I will have to source another 88 note weighted stage piano ASAP.
Regards Alan
