Problem with the keys

[patrick2000]

Hi there,
After I pressed a key the key makes a kind of "tik" sound when it comes up again.
It sounds like as if the keys  are not being slowd down. And thuis is goth every key
Is this normal?  Does somebody know why this is?
I have a Yamaha digital piano CLP840

Thanks in advance! !

Keyboards have noise reduction materials on contact points. (felt) Sounds like it may be worn in spots.

Is this the only reason for a tick? Suddenly 4 of my notes next to one another have been affected at once. Seems unlikely that they all instantly become worn, one after another. Is there anything I can do?

Standard Yamaha keyboard failure number 1. I've never actually taken one apart to see in detail why it happens, but obviously the basic problem is that whatever soft material is supposed to catch the keys on the way up is either worn out or displaced. It seems to happen to practically all Yamahas after a few years.

That felt is just one long strip across the top of the keys. When the key bounces back up, it makes contact. Sure. It can be wearing in one particular spot that is heavily played and consecutive keys will click. Of course this is a fairly educated diagnosis. Its really hard to tell sight unseen.
