Just be sure to remove the reflective tape and label first. A scraper works well. Then use goo gone to remove the sticky residue.

by: Anonymous

I used the orange fibreglass driveway marker from Home Depot. It’s the perfect size. With a rubber mallet I used it to punch out the old rods and replace them at the same time. I coated the rod lightly with Permatex High Performance Synthetic Grease with PTFE. Even with the ace rod kit they use grease. The repair went beautifully. Take pictures of the disassembly process so you can refer to them when putting it all back together.

starstarstarstarstar 		Suzuki Sticky Key FIX for less than $3
by: Anonymous

If you have the time and patience to take the keyboard apart, I followed the advice of another person on the internet. Home Depot has a fiberglass driveway "marker", a straight rod that is a PERFECT replacement. It is 4 feet long, precisely the length necessary for the full sized 88 keyboard. The original Suzuki rod pieces are tight and causing the keys to stick. That is the problem.

The original rods are approximately .031" in diameter. I took a micrometer to the store. The ORANGE driveway marker is a couple of thousandths THINNER. (At my Home Depot, the yellow driveway marker was a bit thinner than the orange marker, so be careful... color matters.)

I paid $2.28 for the orange fiberglass rod and took it home. I used a hair dryer to soften the reflective tape that is wrapped around the top 6 inches of the rod. Be sure to remove all sticky residue from the reflector tape AND the UPC pricing label. I used Goo Gone, which worked perfectly. You do not want to scratch of scuff the smooth surface.

To lube or not to lube. I decided to use some graphite key lock lubricant on the rod as I inserted it. It slid in rather nicely. You do not want to have much slop on the fit. I've read some people are using a 1/4" metal rod for this fix... far too loose a fit. The orange rod from Home Depot was perfect.

I just finished the repair, and no keys are sticking. I did not make any other adjustments, such as reaming out the holes or filing the sides of the hammers.

I found the official Suzuki Ace Rod Repair Kit online for over $160. So, it has only been one day, but I am VERY confident in the quality of this repair, and for less than $3, why wouldn't you give it a try? Good luck to everyone.

starstarstarstarstar 		GP3 Sticky Keys
by: Anonymous

I have a GP3 with the typical sticky keys, mostly the black ones. Rather than replace the counterweight rods, I took each set of weights apart and was able to gently remove enough from the inside of the plastic bushings to restore normal operation. I used 200 grit sandpaper rolled into a shape that fit inside the bushings. It took a few days of on-and-off puttering, but there's no issue with overly loose weights as others have mentioned when replacing the rods with a smaller diameter. I applied a drop of Tri-Flow lubricant to each after reassembling. Now I just need to hope the plastic won't swell due to the oil. Did this a few months ago, so far, so good. If anyone has a copy of the schematic diagram, I could use one, as there is a 5V regulator on the main board that seems to be warmer than it should be.

starstarstarstarstar 		Keys no longer stick
by: Mac

My SS-100 cost $25 and had most of the keys sticking. I bought two 3ft long 1/4 Inch galvanized steel rods at Home Depot and tapped out the 5/16 rods per the suggestion in the other posts. I would have preferred 9/32 but HD did not have. I left one at 3 ft and cut the other to be flush with the chassis opening. Mine did not have the rod end retainers so I made a pair from some small right angle brackets and used slightly longer screws to attach them at the end circuit board holes. The particle board holes were a little stripped at most locations so filled them with wood glue and hammered flush and let dry while doing the rod fix. Also found several of the black key weights had called out so removed all of the keys and superglued them in place as well as adding a drop to every other black key. Cleaned all the keys with Formula 409. The keys are a little bouncy when played but they were like that with the original rods also I checked this as I tapped out the old ones. The rod is the pivot for the lower weighted arm rather than the keys so may cause some secondary free play in the lever system but I found it acceptable and the price was right. I may try adding a thicker strip of felt that runs along the top of the keys, this seems like the easiest location to try, the other felt strips are inside the chassis. All the keys play though some seem a little louder or softer than others, these might have been some of the 'stuck down' keys so may take some time for the resistive contact pads to return to normal. Thanks to those posting earlier tips, all were very helpful in deciding how to fix mine.

starstarstarstarstar 		Rod replaced, now keys rattle???
by: Frank D

Thanks, JTravis.

I was worried the 1/4 rod might be too loose, after a partial trial with a section of 1/4 alu rod, and so I ordered a 9/32 rod.

Rod replacement completed and no more sticky keys!

However ...

The plastic keys now seem very loose and extra bouncy, causing some light rattle / chatter, if you tap the key and lift off your finger.

We don't think the keys ever made any noise originally. I'm wondering if the hammer part drops too fast relative to the key and if going 5/16 might fix it.

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?

by: jtravis

I put a 1/4" rod into my wife's very sticky SS keyboard back in 2012. 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. . . so the day before my wife first noticed the keys were getting sticky the keys were in fact much stickier than the day the keyboard was purchased . . . so maybe they're the same as day one after all!

My wife certainly isn't complaining. She thinks it plays great.

starstarstarstarstar 		1/4 rods still working yes/no
by: Frank D

Hi Folks. I still need to repair my wife's suzuki HG-425e with sticky non functioning keys (design flaw). Have read it came with aluminum 5/16 rods. No response ever from suzuki. Have seen the guide to put in new 5/16 rods, but includes taking out every key and reaming them slightly bigger ... which sounds like it would take all day. So I'm curious about the 1/4" rod trick, where you tap a smaller long rod through and then I guess put in the right length 1/4 rod. Is still still working for all of you? And am wondering if the key mechanism is somehow loose, does it affect play? Thanks.

Hi all, for those with dead keys, there are solutions;
Opening up, cleaning the rubber contacts and re-applying graphite with a soft 2H pencil, is all that's required.
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..... $0.30 a pad x 88. Gotta be worth it.

starstarstarstarstar 		RE: rod replacement size
by: jtravis

Rob,

I used the 1/4" in my SS-100 because that's what was available at the local hardware store. 1/4" is probably a hair too small; the keys initially felt quite loose. 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.

Assuming the same rod diameter was used in the 275-e as the SS-100, you could start with a 1/4", and if it doesn't suit you, have some intermediate size machined at a shop.

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!

starstarstarstarstar 		275-e replacement rod best size?
by: Rob

Hi all,
After reading through all the prior comments, I will probably be looking to replace the rod(s) within the keyboard of our 275-e model. 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..

starstarstarstarstar 		STICKY KEY SUZUKI, COSTCO NO RETURN
by: Anonymous

bought this SS 100 Suzuki off CL after reading this post. I thought I could fix. After agreeing to price, owner told me it had been fixed before and handed me the original shafts. Since I only paid $40, I took it home. 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?" and I replied, "I would like to return this". He then asked "How old is it?" And examined the receipt.(purchase date was 2004) He said "There's nothing I can do for you, it's too old, it's not in the system, it's been discontinued." I said O.K. and began to leave when he added," you may want to donate it to a charity and take a tax write-off". 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?"

Hi another update. The rods are the problem...or rather the weight which operate on the rods "swell" and sometimes crack. 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.

Thanks guys for sharing your experience.
I will add mine also. I started to try to repair the SS-90 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. Now, the important part: DON'T BUY 8 mm 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!

by: Cherisaruss

I just bought a Suzuki SS-100 off Craig's list. 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. Then bought two 1/4" X 3' lengths of zinc coated metal rods. 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! Took about 1/2 hour to repair.

Hi,
I got a used SS-90 for 70 euros (I'm in Paris). 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.

The rode (actually five or six small ones) was 1/16 (almost 8mm)... I was fortunate to find at a local hardware store, a 7.5mm x 80cm aluminium rode. 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... then I switched to a synthetic grease and the problem was solved.

I had been in contact with a local repair shop for over a year to fix my HP-97. 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. I learned from the repair shop that the repair kit cost $127 after s&h and his repair cost would be an additional $79-$99. 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! I decided to try the non-lubricated 1/4" rod replacement and found them at the local Ace Hardware for $4.49 each! 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.

by: Anonymous

Wish I had read this post first before I started. 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 6.5mm for $5-00. 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. then slide in the new shaft, being smaller goes in easy without any resistance by hand, cut the the other rod to size and slide in. 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. but do not try wD40 or you will get electrical contact problems. 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.

Hmmm . . . what would happen if I put in a smaller diameter shaft, like 1/4" diameter?

Right now, I have replaced the original axle (5/16"?) with a single 1/4", and the keys' play seems just fine . . .

I wrote may 30, 2011 about my ss-100 suzuki digital piano. The keys were sticking (black & white). I never thought it would play again. I mentioned it to my friend at church and her grandson fixed it. It plays beautifully. I paid $100.00 for the metal dowels and he fixed it in about 30 minutes. 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.

Thanks to many contributors, I got the courage to open my 425e to repair the sticky keys. I tried the cheapo suggestion using HomeD rods: Crown Bolt part 16850, 5/16 x 36", but they turned out to be the exact same diameter as my old rod. Is there another rod available? In the meantime I pushed out and cleaned the old rods, and everything is currently working well.

Just watch video suggested on this page.

Don't buy the repair kit from Suzuki:

1. It is expensive. Way too much: $10 thing, charges over $100.

2. You can never get hold of them although you called, left messages, or sent emails. They just don't answer.

3. It is easy to fix it.

4. Don't remove the keys off. Leave them alone.

5. You can buy 2 round metal rod from Home Depot. The original rod is 8.37 mm in diameter. The one I bought is 8.31 mm. It is $4.99 + tax. The length is 3 feet. You need to ask Home Depot people cut a 1' and 1/2" part off from the second rod. Put these 3' + 1' and 1/2" into the hole.

6. before you put them in, trim the end of rods smooth.

7. Put the part back - That is it (a cost of $12 + 2 hours) !

I have to disagree with "Anonymous" and the message posted Oct 22/11. My piano is fixed and I have been playing it again for 2 weeks now. I contacted Mr. Nick Smith (nsmith@sonycorp.com)and he sent me new rods for the piano via UPS. 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.

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.

starstarstarstarstar 		Tutorial on fixing sticky keys
by: G88-fine

Hi, I wanted to share this solution with all of you who are experiencing problems with sticky keys on digital keyboards, such as my Suzuki.

This is how I fixed a "Suzuki SS-100" keyboard that had 'sticky' keys. I made a video of the entire procedure, so anyone could help themselves, if they run into the same situation with their keyboard.

I looked up online to find a solution. I learned that it is quite common for this Keyboard to have a problem with sticky keys, and that Suzuki company itself prepared a REPAIR KIT to use, and resolve the issue.

Of course, one has to order it and pay for it. It does not come FREE. But I ask you, what is better?

A) Throw such a keyboard in trash,
B) sell it very low,
C) pay small amount of money and fix it yourself, and keep using it?

I chose option C, because I choose to fix things, if possible, and benefit on using them.

This is the link to the video:

starstarstarstarstar 		sticky keys fixed, now I have "dead" keys
by: Tom in Tucson

Before I removed,sanded, and re-lubed the key axles I tried using silicone spray lube to free up the keys. I had little success with that.
After driving out, sanding, and re-lubing the axles the keys work great...but...I now have around ten keys in various places around the keyboard that are "dead." I assume something happened when I was using the silicone spray but what?
Also, the pedals don't work. Are they connected to the keyboard via the same connector as the speakers?

Within 2 years, I experienced the same problem. I have gotten to the point that I simply refuse to keep putting hundreds of dollars into a repair that will keep continue to reoccur.

I have a Suzuki SS-100 digital piano that I purchased new in 2004. It has worked good for several years but now the keys are sticking and not just a few. I called about repair and it would cost over $350.00. I can't even play it. From reading the other comments I think Suzuki should recall because their are many of us having to foot the bill for a factory problem.

starstarstarstarstar 		I got their repair kit
by: Anonymous

I finally broke down and spent the $50 or so for the repair kit. The instructions are simple. It is easier to take apart than I thought. Once you take out all of the screws on the bottom of the piano, the whole top unit (electronics and all) detatches from the key deck with a single ribbon cable. (DO NOT unplug the cables holding the side unit to the top/back unit - you don't need to, and they are a bit delicate.)

The kit consists of two replacement guide-rods (these are not "hinges", rather they keep the key and the hammer action aligned. Some kind of swelling of the old rods is what keeps the action from rebounding freely); two shorter metal rods to knock out most of the old ones; and a plastic rod. The plastic rod is primarily to lubricate the passage after you get all of the rods out, but it is also (theoretically) used to push out the last old rods and the other push rods. For me, that last part didn't work, and I had to improvise another way to get the final rods out of the piano.

If you don't bother with the plastic rod, and have an alternative handy (run to the hobby store and just get a wooden dowel or metal rod of the same diameter), you can do the whole repair in less than an hour. And it works.

I am so frustrated that I spent so much money on what I thought was a beautiful piano, only to have keys start sticking a few years later. Now, just about all the keys stick. I kept the keys covered when not in use and central heat and air keeps the humidity low. I couldn't imagine what I had done to cause this problem. Now reading comments from other frustrated digital piano owners makes me realize that it is a design problem that the company should "man-up" and take care of. There is no one in my area that repairs digital pianos. Why should we have to go through the hassle of repairing or paying for repairs of an instrument that wasn't properly manufactured?

Same problem as above. I fixed it the same way as John (entry Jan 28 2010): I drilled the nylon bushings. I used a drill with the same diameter as the bushing hole and it worked OK. The minimal movement while drilling was enough to free the keys. I also had to stretched the springs. It is a minute work, so relax, take your time, listen to Enya or Loreena McKennitt, and your piano will work again.

I contacted Suzuki for my SS-100 keys sticking (once it starts,it only gets worse, by the way...). They said there was a replacement shaft kit you could buy that will resolve the issue.

starstarstarstarstar 		fix sticky keys on suzuki gp3
by: Suzuki gp3 sticky keys fix.

took it all apart, took the aluminum rod out and 'sanded' it down using 600 grit emery cloth and a drill to turn the rod. worked beautifully without getting sloppy, however still had some sticking. noticed that they would stick even without axle rod in place! then figured out these had swelled on the white plastic piece that overlaps the counterweight lever. the solution was to remove the levers clean/ream out the inside of the holes and lightly sand the sides of the white plastic levers that make contact with the other black plastic 'sleeve' that holds all the levers. only a little as it doesn't take much to remove too much plastic, making the action sloppy. this fixed the issue completely. Review: cleans the sides of the keytops and blacks, stretch the springs a little, disassemble the underlever assembly numbering the levers with a sharpie, clean out the holes and lightly sand the sides, and turn the axle with emery cloth. Clean all parts, reassemble using lithium grease on counterlever contacts to keytops and an appropriate lubricant on the axle (NOT WD40 !!)
WARNING: take extra care not to get anything on the pcb's or you will have another issue to contend with!

starstarstarstarstar 		Sticky Key Repair on Suzuki SS-100
by: Anonymous

After reading above comments we found the white plastic grommets attached to the hammers were too small of a diameter for the axles. Our repair was to ream the grommets with a drill.

The tricky part (thanks to the WD40 users) was to remove the circuit boards under the hammers prior to the removal of the axle and hammers. This was done to avoid shorting out circuit boards with oil.

Further repair was to slightly stretch the springs that return the keys to normal position as we read from a prior post.

Also, we did not use WD40. We used a synthetic oil sparingly.

All the keys and sounds work beautifully.

Thanks to all the prior comments!

starstarstarstarstar 		ideas on sagging keys
by: Craig

The grease that Suzuki uses appears to be silicon based (doesn't dissolve in mineral spirits) and it is sure gooey. I was told they changed the rods from steel to aluminum. I turned and polished my steel rods and used a lithium based grease to reinstall. About 99% effective, still get a sagging key every once in a while. If I did it again, I would purchase a full length rod with a slightly smaller diameter. The best I can tell the only reason there are multiple rods is so Suzuki could sell an octave at a time. By the way they won't sell just the rods.
Unfortunately Suzuki has bad reviews because of issues like this and I'm having a hard time selling mine.

starstarstarstarstar 		SS-100 sticky keys
by: EMR

I've had a few of these through my shop, all experiencing this same "key sag" issue. Once a couple keys start sagging, lots of them seem to follow. A guy at Suzuki told me that the problem was the grease viscosity and the keyboards needed to be warm. If that didn't fix the problem, they had a few keybeds to sell. I did end up disassembling one whole keybed, reaming the holes with the metal pins and re-lubing with Yamaha's key grease. Worked fine and got that one out.

Now I have another SS-100 on my bench with the same issue. I'm looking for a quicker way to resolve the problem. If you watch the pin at one end of the keybed, you will notice that sometimes it will move with a key weight as it moves. The bushing is sticking to the pin and sometimes takes another weight with it. Like I said, once it starts, other keys are quick to follow (lubricant with a 20-year time release sticking agent?)

I'm trying a couple things to make it quicker than a complete rebuild. Has anyone found a good fix yet?

I have the keyboard apart. Springs look OK. It appears to be a problem at the axle. I have tried lubricant (sparingly and carefully) and heating with hair dryer. No better. It appears that silicon grease is what they used. Impossible to clean. My next thought are to remove the axle and try to clean. Any one tried this? Other thoughts are to re drill the holes the axle slides in just a fraction bigger or reduce the diameter of the axle just a fraction. Does this sound crazy. Any other ideas, success.

I too had a problen with the sticky keys for my suzuki ss-100 before I took the whole thing apart I tried just stretching the little springs and putting them back that worked for some of the keys but the others weren;t coming back up. Just like Jim said there was a problem by the axle. I thought that spraying it with wd-40 was a smart idea and did it before taking off the key levers protecting the circuit board from getting soaked... dumb move cause the keys started moving better and I put the whole darn thing back just to plug it in and realize I lost a whole octave of keys that wouldn;t work anymore. Sufficed to say I took everything apart and cleaned the circuit board and the rubber thingys. So far now only four notes aren;t working that was three days ago. I have been letting the rubber thingy sit and dry after resoaking it in water and dish soap. I am too scared to see if it will work cuz I have a feeling finding parts for this thing is going to be a nightmare.

starstarstarstarstar 		Sticky keys
by: Jim

I took my Suzuki SS-100 completely apart, trying to fix sticky keys. The problem is, they're sticking where they're supposed to move freely around an axle. However, The axel is pretty well sealed. I ended up gluing pennies to the two worst culprits, and stretching the springs. The keys are a little harder to press, but they come back up.
FYI: Before I gave up on lubeing the axle, I was free with the WD-40. It ended getting under the pressure-sensitive rubber octopus-sucker-looking things that the "hammers" strike. It changes something chemically, and a few keys no longer play. I have to change out the rubber, or get a new circuit board that they're mounted on. I'm frantically searching for these parts now. Don't be as stupid as me!
