Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Squeaky keys...

2004-02-14 by bob hanna

Clayton,

The best thing I've found to get rid of squeaky keys
is dry graphite powder. You'll need to apply it on the
felt strip of each key where they contact the weights
that simulate the hammer action. I originally tried
cleaning the keys and then using silicone spray which
only temporarily fixed the problem. It has now been
over two years since applying the graphite on my own
TS-12 which remains squeakless!
