I bought a 61 key Triton Studio last year, and I have been disappointed with the amount of mechanical noise from the keybed itself. The keys make a loud thunking sound when pressed and another when released. I had hoped to make a lot of use of this machine at night using headphones but it's a bit too noisy for that. In addition, I find that when operating it at moderate volumes, the loud key release can throw off my rhythm.

I opened it up today to have a look around. There is a felt strip that the keys hit when they are depressed, and it didn't /seem/ to be noticeably hardened or worn away, but to be honest, I don't really know what to look for. It's an extremely complicated machine in terms of its internal construction so I didn't dismantle it beyond removing the bottom plate.

I would like to know if this is standard for a Triton? If so, is there anything that can be done to improve it in this area?

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can offer.
