|
|
Hi,
I’ve been searching all over the place for weeks and can’t seem to locate any sellers having the blue contact strips in stock for the Korg Kronos 73 or 88 models. Anyone have a good resource for acquiring 7 of these 12-key contact strips?
Tried parts is parts, reverb, eBay, Amazon. Nada...
Thanks,
Moe |

Here is the first answer after typing "Korg Kronos contact strip" in Google :
https://www.syntaur.com/korg_kronos.html
You will find blue contact strip in there (part #6333 and #3900) |

Saw that, but...
“Only for Kronos keyboards with white or gray foot on key hammers. ”
I have black hammer feet, plus they charge 2x as much as everyone else
We know why there is a shortage, they’re buying all of the strips, cornering the market, and charging what they want
But seriously, what is the different, besides colors, from white, gray and black hammer feet? Functional differences? might have to get these.
Thanks.
Thanks |

Actually, I wouldn't be able to answer your question. The best to do is to contact the Synthaur crew. |

Description
Used in these products (as):
KRONOS73 (12 Note Rubber Contact Strip (Blue) - Total of 7 used on keyboard. *Two will need to be trimmed. Refer to the contact cutting instructions in the files section.)
Possibly I don't understand this product or part. Is this standard- the contacts have to be trimmed ? _________________ Kronos 88. MODX8

For 73, yes. You need to get 7 and one of them needs to be cut to fit. Not for 88. |

The critical difference is that the blue ones are different heights, that's why it's important to make sure they line up with the correct keys. |
