Hey maestros,
I just got my Korg triton pro and noticed the A key above middle C was broken off then glued. It was glued fairly meticulously but nonetheless will have to be replaced ASAP because I KNOW one as soon as I unleash the fury on it live it's gonna snap right off again. I have never broken a key before. Are they a big deal to get fixed? It doesnt seem like it should be.
Thanks in advance for your answers. Oh, BTW, I think i might actually like the Korg more than my Yamaha Motif which is quite a statement coming from a staunch Yammi man. It does seem though that the Korg triton is gonna be a higher maintenance board.

I had to replace the middle C key on my Korg N5 once... I ordered it from a local dealer and, unfortunately, it took like 7 months to arrive. I think it might have been the shitty dealer though.
Anyway, What I did in the meantime was pop the board open and move the broken key all the way down to the bottom. I've never used a 76 key board before, so I'm not sure what the upper/lower limits are, but you might be able to move it out of the way until the new key arrives.
The removal process was actually pretty easy... Once you have the keybed exposed, you can just pop the back of the key off with a wide flat-head screwdriver. Once you see it open and take a good look, you'll be able to see how it comes off... When you get the new key, it's as simple as just popping it on.

Thanks alot dude. Yea...it seems like it should be easy. I actually thought of moving the A key thats broke up to the top. Im gonna see how soon the repair tech can get me in. If its as easy as you say, there is absolutely no reason why they cant do it on the spot if they have the key.
Thanks for answering man
