It doesnt work dude ... I tried it a lot of times, but oroblem is actually deeper, I spent 4 month for research how to solve that problem and i finally did it! : D I though about grease and put it a lot everywhere, but clicking is not about grease .. problem actually solving very easily by small piece of duct tape in special place in aevery key. This little rubber "cup" where you put the grease, you have to remove it (its removable, don't be afrair you won't break anything) and put under it one or two layesr of small strip of duct tape

Try this beside the other methods: an another source of key noise when the key is returning to its original position an the top hits the plastic house of the keyboard. Right there where you see the red felt. That felt is so thin that it cannot reduce the rubmle created by those hits. An easy method to eliminate this noise is to put thin (about 2mm thick and 2 cm wide) sponge stripes on the keys. Place the stripes (it should not be one piece for the whole length) so that when you assemble the piano the sponges should not be visible below the red felt. So a little bit (3-4mm) further away from the edge of the felt. No need to use any glue as the felt will squeeze well it after assembling. As the sponge is thin it does not affect the action, but when you release a key quickly you will not hear that rumble any more. (btw: I have created the sponge stripes by cutting a larger dark grey sponge by a big and wide sharp knife. This way the thickness can be kept quite even. The sponge came from the packaging of a kitchen tool or something like that.) Btw: taking out the keys for greasing is much easier if you use a pen. Using the conical end of the pen is a very fast method to take out keys. Not all pens are (thin pens are not) convenient of course, the only thing to be considered to be thick enough for stretching enough (but not too much) the key ends. After finding the proper sized pen you can take out all keys in about 3 minutes.

. . . and finally: do not ever think of greasing the top of the rubber sensors! I thought that it also adds some noise when you hit the key and put silicon grease there too, but silicon gets into reaction with the rubber and you will end up in uneven keyboard sensitivities. Then the only solution can be to replace the tripple sensor rubbers. . . .

@MarkSomosoMusic 3 жыл бұрын

There is no such thing as rubber sensor... Lol.... There's no re action in the ruber.. It works fine with me... Theirs is a repair photo of puting some duck tape on the rubber it helps reducing the noise also.

@@tpatai most of expensive silicon lubricants are safe for rubbers (elastomer's). but to be sure you better avoid applying any lubricant on rubbers, in best case scenario they would become pasty, it would result in applying pressure on the piano key would become noticeably different. or in worst case rubber would become stiff and would need to be replaced, which nowadays almost impossible, at least for moscow russia, where they ask almost third of the piano price even for pair of white and pink grease
