    Question Where can you get the rubber strips that are under the ivories

    I have a Yamaha PSR 530. I have taken it into the repair shop 4 times to have 2 of those rubber strips replaced each time over the years that I have had the keyboard. It coast me $75 each times. I can replace the strips myself but I don't know where I can get the strips. Does anyone know? Thanks Flint

    Pair of scissors and a rubber car floor mat....
    (I'd never pay $75 for something you can get for free)

    Lowes and Home Depot DIY stors also have rubber/vinyl sheet

    Flint here. I call them the rubber strips because I don't know what they are called.

    They are rubber strips with raised up bubbles or cones and when you press a key down it pushed the top of the bubble to the bottom and that makes the contact which produces the sound on the keyboard. Don't go looking for them in Home Depot-you won't find them. Flint

    Oh, my bad.... I thought he was talking about strips on the underside of the keyboard, not IN the mechanism! Never mind!
