Replacement Mortises for Fender Rhodes
Preparing and replacing the mortises on a Fender Rhodes are crucial steps to ensuring the mechanics work properly. The mortises are the small spaces in which the keys sit on the center spindles.
Over time, these areas wear out, causing uneven play and affecting the keyboard's responsiveness.
Why replace mortises?
Worn mortises can disrupt key pivot, resulting in uneven and less fluid playing feel. Replacing these parts with high-quality cashmere can:
- Reduce friction, for smoother key movement.
- Ensure perfect keyboard alignment, restoring optimal responsiveness.
- Prolong the life of your Fender Rhodes while improving playing accuracy.
The replacement procedure
Preparing and cleaning the mortises is essential before any work begins. At Funky Keys, we carefully clean the mortises to ensure perfect adhesion of the new cashmere, ensuring that each key pivots correctly on its central axis.
