Stay cool, Pepper.
Go pee, Potty.

I would like point out that I played a Yamaha S80 for over 10 years. The school where I teach also had an S80 for most of that time.
On both of those instruments, I needed to check the screws on the bottom from time to time. When I would forget to check, one would occasionally fall out. It's not just Korg instruments that have the problem.
I'm not sure that it's completely unreasonable that the screws might loosen over time. The instrument is flexed when moved and vibrates when sound is created, from both the pounding of the keys and perhaps from sympathetic vibration from speakers. Over time, this is bound to effect the tightness of screws.

If i remember correctly there is a product called 'Locktit' for that purpose. i.e. securing screws.geoelectro wrote:Screws coming out of keyboards seems to be fairly common. Every Motif 8 that goes through my shop has missing screws. I have a box of replacements just for that model!

Maybe manufacturers should use it?

Hi, Saxifraga.
Yeah, here in the U.S., that product is "Locktite" with a 'long "i," sounding like "eye."
Oddly, IMHO, some have chimed in and it seemed to me that they did not read the thread in its entirety. I did explain the two commonly used types of locking washers to secure screws.
So, Sax, even though I appreciate your input, you have raised a serious concern. Why is the consumer expected to remove screws, apply a glue, and screw the whole thing back together again? FFS, I didn't purchase a synth kit. It was SUPPOSED to be already assembled. Do you guys seriously not understand the implication here?
IF screws are falling off from the exterior, are they also falling off inside?
Geoelectro noted that "Screws coming out of keyboards seems to be fairly common." Sorry...no! That is a total misnomer. I have an Ensoniq SD-1 and it is tight! The 01/W Pro is not coming apart either. I've owned both synth since the early 90s. Over 2 decades, I have been repairing synths and rarely have I seen screws just 'hanging there.'

The instrument is flexed when moved and vibrates when sound is created, from both the pounding of the keys and perhaps from sympathetic vibration from speakers.

For the record, I can say honestly that I have played my KX73 less than 40 hours. See why I am in such a huff?
And guys, before you tell me to calm down, it's only a screw...I am calm. I am just posting this to alert the group. I do NOT want to have to spend $3700 on a frigging synth and be expected to THEN go out and buy "Locktit" (lol...I want to try a tube...the connotation!!! LOL) and reassemble my purchase!
~Respectfully.

Off topic, I am not doing my "quotes" correctly. Sorry. Are there instructions on the site?
All the best.

Agreed...no bid deal.
But my X has maybe 30 hours playtime (LOL...that sounds humorous!) Being funny aside, I only was wondering why there was such a noise when I played in the studio.
Thanks to all for the quick and easy insight and help. It wasn't really an ordeal. I just didn't know. And Korg have been fraught with action issues.
Enough said, besides my thanks.

Greg.
Here ----> **kick**
LOL...I know, buddy. I'm a slow learner. Still (Oh gosh! Here I go), for 3700 dollars, can the manufacturer put it together like the picture shows? You know...like the advertisement photos that don't have a bunch of bolts and screws all hanging out? Remember??
