My heart skipped a beat today while rehearsing some big band tunes on my stage 3 hp... The G2 key suddenly went sloppy and almost unplayable! After some attempts to find the answer online, I decided to open it up and have a look at least. It turned out that the key hammer had broken off completely. Fortunately it was an easy repair with some glue. I hope it sticks...
Did this happen to anyone else?

Re: Broken HP key
I've had key issues with my previous Stage 3 and an issue with my Stage 4,all within last 12 months. one key became unattached at its pivot point on my current stage 4.I fiddled with it and managed to locate the key in the pivot.
So I have to say that the keyboard on these things are the weakest link.Everything else is fantastic.

Re: Broken HP key
Hi elektromin,
My NS 3 has also broken a hammer a week ago. I cannot find a replacement hammer. Did you look for an new hammer?
How is the glue holding?
And what glue did you use?
Regards,
Pieter

Re: Broken HP key
How about fixing it using a strong glue? I'm not sure if you can order a new key online....

Re: Broken HP key
Hello, this sounds and looks exactly like what happened to my HP76 last weekend. A sloppy key that is sitting slightly lower in the keybed. Are you having luck with the glue repair so far? If so, can you recommend what you used? Thanks!
