ROLAND KR5500 - One key isn't under control

by Oswald Van Strydonck
(Belgium)

For my lovely ROLAND KR5500:

When I touch the 4° A-key (from below), it makes always a loud sound, even when I touch it softly!

I have already cleaned the contacts. Then the result is good, but it comes always back!

Can I get some piano repair for this problem? I still like my old piano!

Sorry for my English, because I don't use it so much!

Greetings
Osy

Keybed Replacement on Roland XV 88 NEW
by: Mike Coleman

I have a roland xv 88 that I love. Several hammers have been replaced and more are cracked and will need replacing and more issues are arising. Roland wants a grand for the complete original keybed but I want to know if any other keybed would work.

Stuck key on my Roland digital piano NEW
by: Vicky

Do you want to ask one of your friends, who is probably good at assembling / dissembling things, to have a look at your Roland digital piano?

I have friends who can fix these issues on their own.

Go through your Users Manual or Service Manual to check instructions on disassembly or repair tips.

If you don't have one, service manuals are usually available for around $15-25.

Stuck key on my Roland digital piano NEW
by: Ben

I would do the following in sequence, only if there's nothing bent, or wobbly:

Make sure there's dust, dirt or any sort of finger-gunk between the keys. For this you can use cardboard bits of various sizes to slide between the keys and catch eventual obstacles.

If they are clean, next I would try using some sort of electrical contact cleaner.

Last resort - contact Roland and write to them about your problem or use their Dealer Locator feature to find a shop that is nearby for service.

Stuck key on my Roland digital piano HP 307 NEW
by: Jay

I have a Roland HP 307 digital piano, and the third-lowest B is sticking, often taking the C along with it.

I am not very keen on opening it, if I can get it repaired easily for a reasonable amount. At the same time, I am okay to try opening it up and fiddling with it.

I gave it a try but left it midway as I was finding it hard to get rid of the case. Has anyone fixed something like this before?

Is it really tough to get this thing sorted out or should I get a digital technician? Taking my Roland digital piano HP 307 to somebody is going to be difficult on my own. Won't fit in my car.
