My P-80 had definite design flaw.
Little piece of plastic at the base of ALL White keys break
in the same place making the keys stick. (Key design doesn't
have pivot pins). And the sustain pedal jack developed
intermittent connection. (Cheapest 1/4 inch jack part they could find).
And Yamaha parts department wanted about $18.00 for
each replacement key.That would mean that the cost of replacing
all the keys would exceed the price of brand new keyboard.
Great rip-off artists at Yamaha!
Your experience may be different. I played it many hours every day
and dragged it around on outside gigs........
