Don't overlook a good and qualified keyboard repair service either, Marc.

A good idea is to make sure they hang a tag on it that says, "Call with Estimate first" so that you can decide whether or not you want to pay for repair after they have done the troubleshoot. Any reputable repair shop should be willing to do that. Of course, if you elect not to get the repair done, usually for reasons of high cost, there will be a smaller fee for you to get your keyboard back in most instances. This is fair, for it takes a technician's time and talent to troubleshoot the problem and come up with an estimate for repairs.

The repair may cost a LOT less than another keyboard, the only problem can be "downtime" and how long the shop may have to keep the unit in order to repair it.
