Hi gang, long time reader first time poster. I am looking at buying a lovely used Voyager. From the photos, it appears certain keys (the ones which were played more heavily) are resting ever so slightly lower than the rest. My question is ... can the springs of the keyboard (the action) be replaced easily? Has anyone done this? or am I being overly critical?

Perhaps a better question: is this normal on Voyager considering it's hand-built? or did your new Voyagers arrive with perfectly aligned keys?

TIA

It isn't a problem of the springs. It some elastic plastic that worn out. Not an easy job. If this is a real problem, you better try to order a new keyboard action built by the market leader Fatar (Italy).

OK thank you very much for the reply and helpful info! I recall seeing the brand name Fatar on the Møog website. Unfortunately I am buying this based on photos and the shop owner's word, not playable IRL so ... if I decide to take the leap of faith, we'll see when it arrives.

From the photos it looks like very minor offset. Hopefully it's not serious, and my OCD can just deal.

If anyone has ever had to order a new keyboard action, please comment! TIA (thanks in advance)

Never noticed
Maybe buy one less used ?

It arrived. Plays great. Two days of ornaments and scales and such, no issues. Perhaps I was being overly critical of the photos or it's just not noticeable when playing.

Nice to know that nobody has needed their action replaced, though.
