Re: [kawaisynths] How to remove keys from a Kawai K3?

2013-03-10 by <tomlinson6050@...>

Hi. IIRC, you have to raise the entire keybed up in the front so the white key fronts will clear the metal rail on the front og the lower chassis. Pull each white key foreward until the notches come clear of the metal frame (about 3/8") WARNING !!!!!!!!
The key spring will try to fly to the f'ing MOON. Keep your other hand over the key to catch it. YOU MUST REMOVE the WHITE KEYS FIRST!

I've been cleaning out my K3's insides today, but can't figure out how to remove the white and black keys without breaking them. I've safely removed the the ribbon cable and the keybed screws underneath the synth, but removing a key is the real kicker. Any suggestions? Thanks!
