PF-85 has the same keyboard! This was immensely helpful cleaning and fixing a free piano!

Thank you, I was trying to figure out how to get the top off and opened up so I can check the electronics of a CLP300. I guess it is about the same. I am getting no or very faint sound out of it.

Hi Garry, would you happen to know how to remove the top cover on a Yamaha CLP-500? Thanks

Hi

You are the first one to show how to open and fix an older Clavinova--THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video Gary. I have a Korg C-15 and the keyboard assembly looks identical. I had no idea how to take the keys off before watching your video.

thank you so much!!! Without you, I would not have tried, but now I succeeded in fixing a hanging black key!!! :)

Very helpful. Many thanks!

Gary, can you help me with advice on putting springs back into a clp50?

Great job if your fingers were a glass window and you weren't videoing upside down I could have seen how you inserted the spring tab. At least I now know the general location and orientation of the spring. I took my C7 key out to see if I could clean the contact underneath because the key hardly makes a sound unless I have the volume up full on my Yamaha PDP-400 and then all the other keys are too loud. I did not remove the entire keyboard so I'm trying to reinstall the spring from the bottom horizontally. I may have to remove the whole keyboard and turn it over to get the job done.

So thankful to have found this video! Was very helpful in the cleaning and regressing of my CLP-560.

Extremely helpful video, I managed to fix my clavinova cvp-6

Thank you!!!! I have a CLP-360 and has been search the web for a way to open up the case! I was ready to give but landed here by luck. How I can replace the old felt strips that is making some knocking sound.👍👍👍👍👍

You’re a life saver!!!! Took about 4 hours total to dismantle, clean the jam, or whatever this sticky crud was, and reassemble. $120 Clavinova is good as new!!!! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you very much! I just got a Clavinova CLP-550 for like $10 and it's very similar to yours and now I'll be able to replace the felts under the keys. And boy, what a heavy elec piano...

Thank you so much. Helped me figure out how to get into the circuit boards on my CLP30. Found 2 dry joints on the big stereo amplifier chip that were causing random horrible sounds through the speakers. Thanks again.

This video was a life saver. Thank you!

THANK YOU!! I didn't discover until I had my CLP 511 all over the floor that the spring style in mine was completely different from all the other videos I had watched. I was trying to get that metal bit back in horizontally--- you can imagine how that was going 😅. Don't know what I would have done without this. You deserve a medal 🏅

But how exactly did you get the keys off. Feel like you skipped that part

Thank you so much perfect video, CAN YOU GIVE ME PINOUT COLOR AT JACK UNDER PIANO THAT CONTROLS SUSTAIN 6 WIRES but I have no molex or any way of knowing pin arrangement...Thank you so much if you can...MARIO

thanks for posting this. I have a CLP-350 that is likely the same. What did you used to clean the keys and other mechanisms? Plus, aren't they lubricated with something? Any advice would be helpful! I have one sticky key after having mine since 1986. I guess that isn't bad.

I feel like I'm being helped by my father. Wonderful video. Thank you so much

Thanks for posting this. I had a bad key that needed to get replaced and this helped IMMENSLY.

5:53 if these metal pieces are meant to bend and give tension for pushing the keys up, then they are springs.

If you're struggling to get the TOP LID up off a CLP-560 (very similar), there's an EXTRA two screws to undo (total 6), which are on the side plates. If you take the front plate off, as shown in the video, you can see a white pillar connecting the top lid to the base. That's where the screw(s) are.

Following this can I fix a sticking black key?

Thank you for taking the time to post this - really helped me out. I can confirm it works for a CVP-30

I bought a used Korg Concert 5000 keyboard which has some sticking keys - needs cleaned. As it turns out the keybed is exactly the same as the Yamaha Clavinova. I couldnt figure out how to remove the keys prior to watching this video. Now I know! Thanks for posting this!

I play guitar in the church band. Don't play keys at all, but the clavinova developed a bad key. Drops out, doesn't play unless you really bang on it and even then it's intermittent. So they bought a different keyboard and put the clavinova in storage. My plan is to fix the bad key and finally learn to play keyboard. My gut tells me it's a contact problem? Background info: the keyboardist has a penchant for hammering the keys with his elbow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. This is what makes me think it's a broken contact (if that's a thing with clav) rather than a cleaning issue. Any experience with this?

Great video, showed me EXACTLY how to take apart my CVP-20 to try to fix a key. Turns out there was a penny in there. Thanks so much for making such a clear video that even I could get my keyboard apart and put it back together!

Thank you for sharing this video

Thanks for this vid, it was very useful for me.I inherited my mums Clavinova 250 and as I moved it I could hear money lose inside. I was able to retrieve 2 French coins as a result. It still works perfectly despite not having been used for about 15-20 years.

Brilliant!! Cheers mate life saver

Thanks for your very helpful video. I tried, i enjoyed, not everything is ok, now, f.e. when a key makes only strong sound, fff, o when a key has no sound at all. What can I do? The model is cpl 300. Thanks!

Clear as mud

Useful in some respects, but a better process would have been to stay with a step by step and not shortcut the target and then removal of components.

Excellent help! Works for CLP-560 too, which is almost identical to the CLP-360. Thanks a lot.

I have a Clavinova CLP 150 and it looks like yours - the difference is probably some hot rod circuitry inside. I have a few bad keys and have saved this video. thank you for posting it

can use that like a midi controller?

Thank you so much! Saved my piano!!

Thanks a lot for sharing this! It's really useful to see someone doing this. My Clavinova is a slightly different model, but I'm feeling a little more prepared to fix my sticking keys :)

This help me a lot to remove the keys, but i have a trouble with the sound Any key give me sound's, hope you can help me because i'm From México and here anybody cant help me

How does one clean the sensor?

Thanks for your video. A rare information.

i got a CLP-260 and some keys dont work, what could i do?

I got a friends Yamaha clavinova clap 152s and the pedal is intact BUT the cord that connects to the keyboard was cut at some point...how would I find and buy the correct replacement cord/connection for this piano pedal?

One of my speakers isn’t working, could you show or tell me how could I fix it? I have CLP-550, thanks!

Thank you! Out of 8 videos I watched, yours was the clearest (thanks for putting your camera light on andfast forwarding through all individual screw tightenings... Maybe your next video should be on how to make videos.. Did the trick!

Thanks a lot! Helped me repairing the Yamaha Clavinova CLP 360

just got a clavinova cvp 50. the drums sound extremely distorted, but piano sounds sound fine. I opened top, ( possible by watching your video, thank you). I have a question. do you know what might cause the drums sounds to sound totally distorted. I have an electronics and I.T back ground. so am good with figuring out how to swap out parts or boards and even fixing things by component level repair. I am not afraid to use a solder gun/tool. I am not sure if it is from the button board or the main board were all the sounds are generated. my guess is that one of the audio processors may be shot. any input is appreciated. Mike M
