First off, I am a beginning keyboard player. So obviously my experience is limited (hence, my reliance of the expertise of some of you well-seasoned musicians). I acquired a used Yamaha YPG-625 digital keyboard. I noticed that ALL of the keys have a loud, irritating "cluck" when they are released & return to their original position. My initial assumption was that the felt cushion had become worn & needed replacing. However, that seems rather unlikely since all of the keys exhibit the same problem.
So my question is: Is this a characteristic of this particular model of keyboard? I realize that all keyboards with weighted keys will have a certain amount of noise when released. But this seems excessive. My follow-up question would be: if this is indeed an unfortunate characteristic of this model of keyboard, is there possibly a remedy to soften the noise? For example, could the factory-installed felt cushion be replaced with an alternative cusioning material?
Thank you so much for your input. Very much appreciated.
