I don't really feel like writing much today.<strong> This week I took apart my keyboard for the first time</strong> because there was an issue where one of the keys was sticking and it wouldn't register all the time when I hit it.<strong> It was very interesting to see the inner workings of the piano and the whole process was very calming and methodical.</strong> Interestingly, each set of keys could be removed by octave so you can access the circuitboards underneath without having to remove every single key, which I thought was a genius design. It was nice to clean out the insides as well, since I've had the piano for over 15 years now and it accumulated a lot of dust inside.<strong> It felt like the most important repair job I've ever done because my piano is so precious to me, so I made sure to do the whole process with the maximum amount of care.</strong>
