Vintage Synth Repair

Fatar keybed in a Kawai? As far as I know, with the exception of a few controllers that were made by other(like Panasonic) for Kawai, all of their actions and keyboard assemblies are made by them.

>>  So I picked up my K5000s that has been in the shop since early  April after they fixed aftertouch and the back light. Now lower velocity  keystrokes do not even trigger notes. It had been one of the more supple and  responsive keyboards now it feels just plain wrong. Is there a diagnostic or  calibration page for recalibrating the keyboard? I could take it back where it  was for the last many months but that feels wrong too.
