First of all, this is an extraordinary video. Incredible job you’ve done here. Really enjoyed watching the whole process. Bravo. Secondly, I have had my Numa X Piano GT for about 18 months now. Just a superb action. It’s not a keyboard without faults, but for $2,000, given the quality of action and sound flexibility, it feels like one of the best keyboards on the market for the money. With that said, I would love to have these improvements you’ve done to my action!

Thanks for sharing!. As a tinkerer, I love this kind of videos. My own experience fixing other keybeds is similar about key grease, they use plenty of it and tends to go everywhere

I inquired with StudioLogic what type of grease they use and they never replied. I actually thought I might need to buy some. I didn't realize there would be plenty of extra to go around.

wow...its so interesting to see the inside of keyboard and see how it works...you are a brave soul for undertaking such a task

Yeah, if I messed it up I wouldn't be able to replace it anytime soon. Thankfully, it turned out ok.

Great video - I wonder if I might ask a tangential question please? I own the Numa X Piano and as the weighted action is causing aching in finger joints a wrists, was thinking if it would be possible to replace the Numa piano keybed with a Numa compact semi-weighted keybed. In your exploration for this task does it look possible to do such a thing? Seems it all comes apart pretty easily. Afaics the keybeds look similar in height and length as well as similar length of individual keys. Would appreciate your views on this...thanks

Wow! Gutsy move, and only 4 hours. I really trust you on keyboard actions, so happy to have you around to test these keyboards for the professional pianists. I have to play whatever stage piano is there, most are excellent, but some are not, I have to adapt to the bad ones. I may have to practice 4 hours to adapt to the bad ones. The good ones mechanically perfect and classically tuned and voiced I just walk up a play, within minutes I'm done. The real greats, like the Steinway Concert D, play themselves, all I have to do is place the emotion into them transforming the instrument into language. Living in a small apartment with lots of neighbors forces me to practice a digital at home, a blessing actually to be able to practice with headphones at 4:00am :). I now have 3 all with different actions which really helps so I am not so shocked when playing the next acoustic stage piano.

This thing slaps

I think I'm going to get the FP-90x. The Numa sounds great in demos, but I hear they do have QA issues.

I haven't heard of the Numa Piano X GT have quality control issues. I know there was a firmware update that corrected some issue early on when it first came out. There have been several firmware updates since it came out that brought improvements.

Are the wooden keys just cosmetic slips of wood on the side?

Pretty much. The keys do have a substantial feel to them while still feeling quick and agile.

On a well regulated acoustic grand it's very difficult to actually feel the escapement. My opinion is that is a worthless feature on digitals.

I tend to agree, but I can live with it if it's subtle enough like on the Roland PHA50 action.

The answer? Get a Roland!
