I have two keys on my used mo6, one plays too loudly, and one sometimes does not sound.

Would replacing the contact strip work for me?

Any repair heads out there do the repair themselves?

Thanks,

It seems we’ve discussed this before:

If you’re now considering DIY:

Gentle cleaning of the contact strip and boards with a cotton swab moistened with water, or at most some isopropyl alcohol, is often enough to fix the problem, as long as nothing is worn or damaged.

I got it fixed! Half an hour labor for 50 bucks and 50 bucks for a new contact strip!
