Well, it's definitely a synthesiser, just a highly-specialised one that pours all it's power into making piano waveforms.
Try the soft pencil thing. It also worked on my mate's Motif, which had velocity-sensitivity issues.. and that's used a LOT, still ok after 6 months, easily reapplied. It's possible to overclean those contacts too.

Subject: [vintagesynthrepair] Key contact strip repair.
Hi everybody,
I know this is not about a vintage synth but it could be useful.
I'm trying to fix a old Roland HP-5000SL digital piano that a velocity problem on one note even after the rubber key contacts have been replaced and the contact strips have been cleaned.
I think the contact strip (board) is worn.
Those boards aren't available from Roland anymore.
Is there any way to refurbish the carbon contacts on those boards?
Thank you!
Nicolas
