Wasn't this topic just discussed in another thread this past
week? Anyway... here is a post from Bruce W., from many
months ago, that is specific to the scenario you describe. Please
read this thread:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/message/5823Modern keyboard mechanisms typically contain few parts
servicable by the average keyboard player. IMO, you should seek
out an authorized Yamaha service center
http://www.yamaha.com/service.htm.I'm uncertain if you're the original owner of your AN1x but if not,
you probably have little info to determine how well the previous
owner maintained his equipment. User abuse may or may not
have exceeded the norm. In regards to the potential cost for a
repair to the keyboard mechanism, I really have no idea but
suggest it be viewed as a 'cost of ownership' expense - and
move on.

I've noticed a ∗slight∗ deterioration in the 'touch' of some keys in
the lower register of my 4 year old AN1x, E2 specifically, but the
overall feel of the keybaord remains responsive so I'm
unconcerned at this point. It's probably typical wear and tear.
