Are the keys of your old keyboard sticky or fail to function properly? Use this guide to repair the keys of your Yamaha PSR-6 piano keyboard and similar models.
Piano keys are hard to break as they are usually made of resistant materials like plastic. However, dirt and grease can accumulate between them over time, turning them sticky and harder to control.
