Introduction
Piano keys are hard to break as they are usually made of resistant materials like plastic. However, dirt and grease can accumulate between them over time, turning them sticky and harder to control. The following steps will walk you through the disassembly process so you can clean them from their root and return them to their maximum performance. This low-cost 80’s model was not designed to replace its keys, as they are glued and protected by fragile plastic components. If you wish to replace the keys of a similar Yamaha keyboard the following guide may be helpful for you.
