I finally did the repair!. It went very well on a CN37, thanks to this guide! Warning: Some internal layout details were slightly different. My only suggestion : 1. Have a separate screw jar for each step of disassembly. 2. consider taking the console off the stand as Step 0.

This is such a well made video. I dont even have a kawai, i was just trying to learn what the different models looked like inside and this was exactly what i needed. Thank you for doing this!

Awesome video!!! I bought a Kawaii CN34 13 years ago...during that time I've replaced the key contacts with a brand new board twice, once 10 years ago and the second time tonight.. The first time it was covered under warranty...only like 3 years into owning it, it some keys got louder. The tech said, "oh this happens from time to time, you don't need to replace the board just take off the contacts, clean them out and reseat it and it will be good as new" but he went ahead and replaced the board anyway. After that first board change, I've cleaned the contacts multiple times myself to save the cost of hiring someone to do it....the fixes never lasted more than a few weeks at most. And recently, I had notes that would sometimes not sound when played in quick succession. they'd stop and then I'd hear a click in the board and they'd start playing again. Recently I have some notes that have stopped playing all together. Which brings me to tonight's activity...replacing the board.... again. I used the German site to order the new board. Your instructions were fantastic...I was half way thinking about filming my own video because the last time I did this, there wasn't really a good video that went into great detail. I was soooo happy to find this. The only thing I would add is that (at least on my CN34) there is a small cable on the right hand side of the key assembly that connects to the little red power light. Each time I've removed the board I've forgotten about it, but luckily it popped out. I love my CN34's sound and action...but man, this is really an abysmal design for a keyboard that with moderate to heavy usage by the player will create problem. Hopefully the new board design is an improvement...I guess we'll see if I'm back on this video 2 years later replacing the board again lol. Thanks for your contribution!!!

Thank you so much for this video. Update: there are now *2* stores selling this part, one in the UK, and one in Germany. I wrote to Kawai (USA) to ask about availability, but haven't yet heard back.

I hope they've used this in the new batch of mp7se. Can this part be ordered? If so where, and how much?
