When I take stuff apart I can never get back working again…especially keyboards and believe me there have been many and every one is different. If you lose that spring…….
First of all, this is an extraordinary video. Incredible job you’ve done here. Really enjoyed watching the whole process. Bravo. Secondly, I have had my Numa X Piano GT for about 18 months now. Just a superb action. It’s not a keyboard without faults, but for $2,000, given the quality of action and sound flexibility, it feels like one of the best keyboards on the market for the money. With that said, I would love to have these improvements you’ve done to my action!
Thanks for sharing!. As a tinkerer, I love this kind of videos. My own experience fixing other keybeds is similar about key grease, they use plenty of it and tends to go everywhere
I inquired with StudioLogic what type of grease they use and they never replied. I actually thought I might need to buy some. I didn't realize there would be plenty of extra to go around.
Wow! Gutsy move, and only 4 hours. I really trust you on keyboard actions, so happy to have you around to test these keyboards for the professional pianists. I have to play whatever stage piano is there, most are excellent, but some are not, I have to adapt to the bad ones. I may have to practice 4 hours to adapt to the bad ones. The good ones mechanically perfect and classically tuned and voiced I just walk up a play, within minutes I'm done. The real greats, like the Steinway Concert D, play themselves, all I have to do is place the emotion into them transforming the instrument into language. Living in a small apartment with lots of neighbors forces me to practice a digital at home, a blessing actually to be able to practice with headphones at 4:00am :). I now have 3 all with different actions which really helps so I am not so shocked when playing the next acoustic stage piano.
I haven't heard of the Numa Piano X GT have quality control issues. I know there was a firmware update that corrected some issue early on when it first came out. There have been several firmware updates since it came out that brought improvements.
Great video - I wonder if I might ask a tangential question please? I own the Numa X Piano and as the weighted action is causing aching in finger joints a wrists, was thinking if it would be possible to replace the Numa piano keybed with a Numa compact semi-weighted keybed. In your exploration for this task does it look possible to do such a thing? Seems it all comes apart pretty easily. Afaics the keybeds look similar in height and length as well as similar length of individual keys. Would appreciate your views on this...thanks
@@federicolametti447 The Numa X Piano has the TP110 action. I also own one and it's a different action compared the TP400 in the Numa X Piano GT. I don't know what the difference is in terms of the cost to produce each action, so I don't know if it's a "cheaper" action. The differences are quite distinct and Studiologic considers the TP400 to be their best/flagship action.

Interesting… you nailed it!

Thank you for sharing. Love your music. It's very peaceful.👍
wow...its so interesting to see the inside of keyboard and see how it works...you are a brave soul for undertaking such a task
Yeah, if I messed it up I wouldn't be able to replace it anytime soon. Thankfully, it turned out ok.
On a well regulated acoustic grand it's very difficult to actually feel the escapement. My opinion is that is a worthless feature on digitals.
I tend to agree, but I can live with it if it's subtle enough like on the Roland PHA50 action.
I think I'm going to get the FP-90x. The Numa sounds great in demos, but I hear they do have QA issues.

Nice and interesting video!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
This thing slaps
can this keyboard play good in classical pieces like chopin etudes?
I really don't play anything too sophisticated so I can't speak from experience, but I would assume a capable pianist could play Chopin on it.

Hi. It would probably be easier to replace your Numa X with something that has a lighter action. I'm not sure what Studiologic has available.
@@Comfort_One_Another trouble is the other offerings have FAR less audio and MIDI capability!!
Not clear why is it better to remove the escapement simulation... could you help me?
It's a personal preference. I didn't like the way it felt on the Numa GT. Especially since it was significantly more noticeable on the black keys.
@@Comfort_One_Another What about Numa X piano feeling, instead? is it a cheaper version of GT?

Are the wooden keys just cosmetic slips of wood on the side?
Pretty much. The keys do have a substantial feel to them while still feeling quick and agile.
Watch Doctor Mix's Fatar Factory Tour. It's actually a custom plastic material that simulates wood and two wood sheets at the side.
The answer? Get a Roland!
The action is too heavy for my taste
Precisely. You'd have to shoot me to keep me away from the PHA-4. And i tried them all!
@@scarsstitches636 It's great when you find something you like. 👍
@@amitev Too heavy? So you are a keyboard player and not a piano player.
@@WeAreAllDoomed-n5i I am a piano player and yes, it is heavy.
