Re: K2000 Clunk Sound (upon key-up)

 
key up noise comes from the wearing out of small rubber bumpers.. rumor has it they are no longer available and there are substitutes that can be fashioned out of rubber.    On Sunday, May 26, 2019, 2:59:46 AM PDT, 'Laurence Payne' [email protected] [KurzList] <[email protected]> wrote:  
 
     


Certainly felt strips can be bought.   I’ve bought a square of felt at a fabric shop and cut my own, or bought strips from a piano supplies house.

But I fear your clunks may be more than a worn felt strip.  The plastic parts in a Kurzweil (Fatar) action can fail in several ways..

This quirk does not affect the K2K's output, but I'd like to deal with it, if I can do so, reasonably.

I found this in another thread ("White Key Clacking..."):
> ... the felt dries out in the key bed. A bit of petroleum jelly on the felt and you’re good...

But, what if my felt is too far gone? 
What if I just acclimated to the clunkiness to the point where it needs to be replaced, instead? 
Any specifics I might look into (for some compatible felt)? 
Surely there's no such thing as a felt shoppe, is there?

Thanks in advance.
