Mad skills...

Merril is handy and I mean really handy. I've never seen something that Merril hasn't been able to fix, or through messing around, get it to work okay. So before I bought the digital piano on Craig's List, I called Merril and said, "Hey, this digital piano is great but 2 keys don't play. Does that sound like something you could fix??" He paused and then said, "I should be able to make it work! You should buy it."

So I've had and played the piano for about a week and yesterday and I wanted Merril to look at it. We took it off the stand and pulled a bunch of screws out and cracked it open.

You can see the keys pulled out on the floor.

One white key would go up and down but not make any sound and the black key was sunk and wouldn't bounce back up. Our first plan was to yank the 2 broken keys and replace them with 2 keys on the high end of the keyboard, those ones up there that never get played.

So he got the keys out, swapped them, and plugged it in to test. The two keys work great! And to our surprise, the two broken keys on the top end work great too!! I'm guessing the two broken keys had dislodged slightly and weren't hitting the striker sensor correctly, or something like that. So now the whole keyboard plays beautifully! Yeah! My husband is awesome.
