Roland GAIA SH-01 Key Replacement
Hope you guys find this interesting. I purchased the GAIA at a Pawn Shop – and it had these horrible painted orange “C” keys. I knew if I was to get it, it would have to be a significant discount, and I would be doing the job of fixing these keys at some stage. I decided to order new keys after trying many chemical methods to remove the paint. It wasn’t too pricey – actually probably cheaper than all the chemicals I purchased.
Anyway, let me know in the comments (on YouTube) and don’t forget to click like – always helps with the searches and my channel.
