I’ve played this board probably 20 times max. It was new from the big box dealer.
The G4 key is bad and since this site sucks, I can’t post photos if you want to see what these really poor contacts look like go over to Yamaha musician’s forum and I’ll probably post a YouTube.
Moog better give me a brand new board these things are expensive. Or a new contact board but I’m worried these are so cheap and fragile they will never last. They need to recall these contact mechanisms. This is NOT a pro level board.
When you go to an unaffiliated forum they allow you to share the photos.
I thought once I took it apart I’d find an obvious issue however nothing. I’ve repaired boards for 20 years so I found nothing unless it’s an electrical diode, I might need a new contact board. So I flipped the rubber contact strip around and all 12 notes went out. Flipped it back and just the one. So not sure what that means.
Sounds like they are shipping out a replacement unit from the dealer so that’s good. I recommend you pay close attention and test all your keys from time to time and perhaps buy the extended warranty.
I suspect to keep prices low they got a bit risky on quality so although Moog might not issue an official recall they might be happy to replace any faulty units realizing some have issues. That’s my thought.
Have you contacted Moog? Any chance the warranty covers that?
