Ive been playing the whole day, its been years since the last time.

Theres a single thick shim over the aluminum harp supports

My concern about lowering the whole harp is that maybe it will fix the scapement on the bass but it would make it too small on the treble side. I'll upload a video to show how hard is to play on the bass notes, Treble are kind of fine, but then I see some people doing glissando and there NO way Im doing that even on treble and thats the part I think its playable.

Thanks for you answer! This is feeling too dense to fully understand.

Reducing the scapement would make every key easier to play, but then if its too small on the treble I could increase it by tilting those tonebars?

If i have to tilt them to make it easier, wouldn't it be imposible to "aim" it to the ideal location on the pickup? I know that pickups can be moved but only to change volume.



I'll keep reading the service manual and see what I get.

Hello, my name is David and Im trying to fix some problems on my 1979 mark II 73 Rhodes.

Ive used it since 1998 to learn classic piano but never fixed the problems it had when my parents bought it. After searching a bit on the forum I didnt find some of the problems Im having.

-First one I guess is a common one. The action is heavier the lower you go on pitch. The treble register is playable.
-Some of the higher notes hit on the damper metal piece and make a loud sound. You can even hear it at low volume.
-Some treble damper fets were out of place because of the hammer hitting the felt. I glued them in place to stop the notes from ringing.

Now that Ive done that 2 or 3 treble keys dont even hit the tines and fail to make a sound and cant figure why.


I'd thank you if you could point me in the right direction, maybe to an old post that I  should read or to some problem in the piano that I didnt notice.



Thanks in advance and forgive my english. Its not my first language and it took a while to write this and learn some terms I didnt use before to make it easier to  communicate (damper, action)
