YAMAHA KX88 Black Key replacement

thingiverse

I found a YAMAHA master keyboard ( midi) and i decided to try to make it revive. It had many broken keys and some were not working at all. I have been able to glue the broken White keys, this had minimal impact on the overall look of the keyboard. The black keys was too damaged to be repaired. I had to design a PLA black key replacement which i share with you today. I am very happy with the result. The new key is very similar to the original one, obviously you'd better print it in black :-) ( except if you want to try some cool effect ... i wonder how a white and pink piano would look like ... ) The black color is very similar to the original black color, but the surface is not as clean. You need to look closely to the keys to detect that there is a printed one. There are a few supports to remove, but nothing difficult. I still have some work to fully finish the repair : i need to repair the failing key, i want to clean each contact, and verify that velocity is consistent on each key .... Please remember to post a comment if you like this repair part.
