Turn the Power on, adjust the Volume and begin to Play! Then plug the AC cord into the nearest power outlet. Note: You can play in total silence without disturbing other in the room by plugging a set of headphones into one of the appropriate sockets, located directly under the keyboard on the left side of the instrument.
When the demo song is finished, the Suzuki piano will play the other Demo songs one at a time in sequential order. The metro- nome can help you practice the piano or to record a song by providing a steady beat for you to play along with. This will reset the digital piano to its original default factory settings. Page Record Play the piano piece that you wish to record. To stop recording press the Record button when you are finished with your performance.
The Suzuki piano will stop recording. It is used for instrument voices such as organ or harpsichord, and for playing some contemporary music. The Duet function actually splits the 88 note piano into two 44 note pianos. Splitting the keyboard allows for two people to perform in the same register at the same piano. We don't think the keys ever made any noise originally. Do you or others have any experience with the key rattle, easily heard by the person playing and especially noticeable if you were to play with the unit off?
It still plays as well as the day I put in the rod. I can't speak to the keys' level of resistance relative to the original rod as the keys were sticky when I first encountered it. I'm tempted to say that they keys play looser than they did on day one. Even then, I imagine the keys had grown progressively stickier over an extended period of time.
My wife certainly isn't complaining. She thinks it plays great. I still need to repair my wife's suzuki HGe with sticky non functioning keys design flaw. No response ever from suzuki. Is still still working for all of you?
And am wondering if the key mechanism is somehow loose, does it affect play? Dec 23, Rating Dead keys Alternatively, there's a fellow on-line who has developed graphite pads for this, using a NASA product. He sells it on-line, using the name 'music doctor' or something. I'm trying to find him back myself Gotta be worth it. Unbelieveablely, I see someone else had the same problem.
I'm in Upper Marlboro, MD If anyone cal help or refer a repair A whole section of keys just don't make a sound any more. Does anyone in Houston work on these digital pianos? Nov 03, Rating Repair person in North Georgia? Does anyone know of a repairman that can perform this in North Georgia or at least North Atlanta? Oct 25, Rating Middle Amin to Emaj stopped working? Sometimes when I slap the bottom and press those specific keys, I hear a very brief note which is the correct note.
I called Suzuki they did call back and leave me a message. However, despite leaving them 2 messages, I have not heard back yet? Granted, proper key play was a bit hard to gauge at the time, having grown accustomed to the stiff key play.
I don't notice that the keys feel loose anymore. A two rod install procedure is a good idea. I used a single rod. I'll add that this thread contains tips re: which lubricants will work best and which could potentially worsen the situation. Best of luck, and let us know how it works out for you! Oct 21, Rating e replacement rod best size? I am presuming I will need two full legnths, one to tap out the original sticking , rods and another to then grease and tap back into the keys.
Question is.. What is the best size for this as what I dont want is just to repeat the same size and hence problems with the current rods, but dont want to go too small in diameter so as to cause issues with key workings afterwards? Was also just going to use one single rod rather than split it up as this seems pointless.. Presume this is fine? Thanks in advance to anyone who has been through the pain and can save me lots of trial and error..
I thought I could fix. After agreeing to price, owner told me it had been fixed before and handed me the original shafts. Afterwards, I found original Costco receipt with the manual and decided to just return the unit. I loaded the piano up and left it in my vehicle at Costco while I went to the customer service desk with receipt in hand.
The associate immediately went for a supervisor. He said,"How can I help you? He then asked "How old is it? I said no, thinking the shops won't take non-working items. But then he had never bothered asking me why I was returning it or if I was the original purchaser or anything. Just a heads up, the no questions asked return policy means: no questions except "How old is it?
Sep 11, Rating two dollar repair follow up by: Anonymous Hi another update. The rods are the problem So my findings now is that replacing the rods may not be enough. For the weight that are swelled and cracked u need use a metal file to reduce the width of those cracked weights. I found an 5 feet steel bar for 2 usd. So to DIY is dirt cheap. But be patient. Finally thanks to all of you above who shared. Without your early work and sharing of results i could not have done it. Sep 11, Rating usd 2 repair by: eurobill I just bought a threaded steel bar7.

Or should I fork out the money for the rod kit? Please let me know the results of your repair two years ago. Jan 11, Rating thanks for all by: Slava Thanks guys for sharing your experience. I will add mine also. I started to try to repair the SS myself. I added additional oil using a syringe with needle.
Carefully I added half a drop of oil to each connection of hummers with the axe. It did not helped. Then, I find this forum and I went to the store to buy the rod. It was too tight. So I bought in the BHV store in Paris 7 mm aluminium tube and 6 mm steel rod to use it to extract the old ones.
After the installation of the new, 7 mm tube - all keys work fine. Good luck! Nov 09, Rating non-playing keys by: Anonymous The Suzuki piano that I play at a restaurant has several keys in the middle of the piano that produce only a sort of "plunk" when they are played. It sounds rather like a hiccup. If the damper peday is depressed when they're played, everything's okay, but of course, one can't play with the damper pedal constantly depressed.
Does anyone have a solution? Sep 14, Rating IT It had been sitting in a storage building for "some time" and almost all the keys were sticking. I took off both ends of the keyboard without disconnecting the wires, and un-bent the little metal "L" joints on either end of the keyboard that cover the metal rods under the back ends of the keys. Smoothed the ends of the first rod, and, using a wooden mallet, pushed the first rod in, pushing the old short rods out of the opposite end.
Once that was in all the way,I measured the second rod against the first, using it to figure out how much needed to be cut off the second rod to just fill in the rest of the space, The second rod was smoothed off and inserted.
The ends of the hole for the rods were bent back in place,the ends of the keyboard were replaced, and once plugged in, the keyboard played perfectly! I'm in France. The piano was in excellent condition, but half of its keys were down or half away down. After I disassembled it, I found out that problem was the rode that was too big and there was almost no lubricant. I was fortunate to find at a local hardware store, a 7.
I used two of them 4 euros for both. Important: Squeaking key. There is white grease in the contact point between the hammer and the key. I replaced it with some kind of Teflon grease and I don't know why many keys stated squeaking Jul 14, Rating Thanks for the helpful hints in this thread!
Whole process took a little over an hour to complete. Now I have a fully functioning piano again! Jun 08, Rating Well done Lois!
Jun 07, Rating Did it ourselves! Lots of my keys were not coming back up and it was virtually unplayable. I found the youtube video and learned that there was a repair kit available. He told me I could order the repair kit. Or, if I wanted him to order the kit my keyboard would have to be in his shop--without the stand.
I looked online to find out how to take the keyboard off the stand and found this website! The repair took about two hours but we did it ourselves! The most time-consuming part of the whole repair was removing and replacing all the screws! While I was in there I replaced some felt that had come unglued-causing some keys to click. Thank you so much for the ideas and confidence to try it ourselves.
Huge savings! I am so excited to play again. I had sticky keys that were getting worse to the point alot of the keys were not springing up and saging down. What I tried to do first was remove the keyboard screws, unpluged the ribbon cable and spray WD 40 lubricant to try and free up. That made thing worse and it was getting stickier. I went down to the local hardware store and bought two steel calvinised rods 6. The original shaft was about 8mm.
Just bend down the lugs at the end of the rods and start tapping out the old shaft until all 7 rods fall out. Bend up the retaining clips to stop the shatf from moving. Note dont have to dismantle the keys, this procedure took less than an hour to do. Presto Fixed no sticky keys and more responsive than ever. Put it all toghether feeling rather good only to find that an octve of keys where not sounding, Im sure this was caused by me sparaying wd 40 on the keys which ended up on the circuit board and ruber contact pads.
Now will have to take apart again and remoce board to clean. The main issue is the shaft that the keys pivot on being to tight, simply replacing the shaft with a smaller diamater will fix this problem for you, from what I have read since the factory shaft is smaller in diameter than the original.
The only tools required is a philips head screw driver, a hamer, steel replacement rod and a hacksaw to cut to size. Easy enough for anyone to do who can handle a screwdriver and hamer and save a lot of money.
Apr 07, Rating sticky key repair by: Anonymous Hello Mr. Where are you located and what is your fee for repairing the sticky keys?
We specialise in fixing the key problem found on the Suzuki Pianos Feb 07, Rating Smaller axle? I never thought it would play again. I mentioned it to my friend at church and her grandson fixed it. It plays beautifully. The plastic breaks after so many years.
If they had used metal to start with our pianos would have lasted much longer. Hope this helps somebody else. Happy and thankful in Ozark!

Is there another rod available? In the meantime I pushed out and cleaned the old rods, and everything is currently working well. Nov 20, Rating Wacko! Will attempt the rods, clean things up and lubricate with stuff called INOX - synthetic lube I will report if I won the battle! Nov 03, Rating The problem is easy to slove! Don't buy the repair kit from Suzuki: 1. It is expensive. You can never get hold of them although you called, left messages, or sent emails.
They just don't answer. It is easy to fix it. Don't remove the keys off. Leave them alone. You can buy 2 round metal rod from Home Depot. The original rod is 8. The one I bought is 8. The length is 3 feet. Oct 25, Rating Broken Knuckles!!! SS by: cachaco What about the problem with the broken knuckles is it related to de rod? My piano is fixed and I have been playing it again for 2 weeks now.
I contacted Mr. Nick Smith nsmith sonycorp. The Ace Rod Kit. Once they arrived my tech came to my home, he removed the old rods, which were thicker than the new ones, and greased the new rods and put them into my keyboard. My piano now plays better than it did before the repair. I have since been in touch with Mr. Smith, the Music Director USA and Canada for Suzuki, he and I both agree that the playablilty and sound of the corrected keyboard is excellent, it's just like a regular piano now.
My tech was also very surprised by the feel of the keyboard once the repair was done. Oct 22, Rating sticky keys by: Anonymous The problem with the sticky keys is the return hammer that is mounted on the axle gets hair line cracks that tightens it on the axle. You can remove the plastic hammers and drill the hole larger but it is very time consuming. You should do all if any because this is a common problem.
