Keyboard Level Adjustment for Fender Rhodes
Why perform a keyboard level adjustment
Fender Rhodes, with their history and longevity, can show signs of mechanical imbalance. When the keys are no longer perfectly aligned, playing comfort decreases and the keyboard response becomes uneven. This can be particularly frustrating for players, as uneven action can hamper the execution of fine nuances and touch accuracy.
Keyboard leveling aims to:
Even out key height, ensuring consistent action across the entire length of the keyboard.
Improve responsiveness and smoothness of play, especially in areas that have been heavily used by previous owners.
Restore optimal playing comfort, making practice and recording sessions more enjoyable.
Replacing worn felts with cashmere
One of the main steps in tuning is to replace the worn felts under the keys with high-quality cashmere. This material, much more durable than traditional felt, offers many advantages:
- Increased durability: Cashmere is more resistant to wear, ensuring stable mechanics over the long term.
- Improved action: A smoother sliding of the keys, facilitating fast and precise playing.
- Improved playing comfort: A softer and more responsive feel under the fingers.
