Introduction

Over time, in older pianos like the Digital Piano Optimus Concertmate 980, dust and dirt get under the keys, removing the function of the key.

The issue comes when you can't clean the dust off without disassembling the piano. Although very frustrating, this is very common with older devices and comes with a very simple fix.
