  Fatar keybed in a Kawai? As far as I know, with the exception of a few controllers that were made by other(like Panasonic) for Kawai, all of their actions and keyboard assemblies are made by them.

    sounds like they never cleaned the contact correctly

    its a fatar keybed anduses the double rubber contacts per key if keys are pressed gently they hit the first rubber contact if pressed hard both contacts strike

    when they fixed the aftertouch they should of checked this for you to make sure when it left it was working correctly

    as they had to strip the keyboard for checking the aftertouch and if it was working before they stripped the keybed 

    then its there fault and should check it for free

        So I picked up my K5000s that has been in the shop since early April after they fixed aftertouch and the back light. Now lower velocity keystrokes do not even trigger notes. It had been one of the more supple and responsive keyboards now it feels just plain wrong. Is there a diagnostic or calibration page for recalibrating the keyboard? I could take it back where it was for the last many months but that feels wrong too.
        Thanks,
