Nord Stage 5 keyboard - Key mechanically sticking

nord #Stage-5 Synth Repair #key

• Model & revision/OS: nord #Stage-5 keyboard
• Symptoms: Key will mechanically stick when putting pressure (not playing “softly”). Then it can be “reset” down at the very top of the key.

Is it an electro 5hp?

It’s actually a Nord Stage 3 Hammer Action 88

Sound like the key is not locking into place. Check that the key locks in at the back end of the key there is a small square hole. When installing the key into position there is a tab (key pivot) that insert and lock the key also before installing the key make sure that there is the small return spring is seated. You can also see what these look like by referring to the parts for this unit which is listed at Syntaur.com
