It's probably the return spring on the back of the key. It may need just a touch of lubrication or reseating in the back of the key. These are individual keys. If it's the keys that come in octave strips, then that's another problem. Have never hear of those keys squeaking though. Do you know the model number of the organ.

There might be some kind of rubber key guide underneath the keys to dampen the movement of the keys up and down and right to left. I had a similar thing happen on an odyssey I own. Mike <snip> My mother has a Wurlitzer electronic organ (circa 1970) whoose keys are making an extra squeaking or rubbing noise when they are pressed and I am wondering what sort of maintenance the organ might require to correct this. I hear the squeaking/rubbing when listening to her play while I am in the same room and find it most annoying when I make audio recordings as my microphones are picking this up as extra noise. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Yahoo!
