Yamaha p-120
on: April 21, 2014, 10:50:52 AM
Hi, I have a yamaha p-120 digital piano and some of the keys got stiff lately, I've searched about it and found that it is a problem with the grease yamaha was using to lubricate the keys.
So I opened the piano and found that the keys that were stiff had very little grease on them.
What grease should I use to lubricate the keys?

Bollocks. The P-120 is still a great keyboard, and if a little grease is all it takes to fix it, I say go for it.

Lithium grease is what you need.
