Yamaha DGX-650 clacking keys

[aliaksej]

Hello, guys!

I've bought used Yamaha DGX-650 almost a year ago. Center keys were a bit more noisy at the moment.

Now my daughter started learning piano and I noticed that center keys became much more noisy.

There are examples of noise.

What can be the problem?

There is a felt pad strip under the entire keybed that reduces key noise. The problem is that with time and continued usage the pad becomes compressed and ineffective at doing so.

Your choices are to A) Live with it and turn up the volume, (Best solution) or B) Pay someone to replace it, or C) learn how to open it up and replace it yourself. (NOT a trivial job)

These are your options.
