Firstly take a look at the keys that are sticking. Are they leaning slightly to the left? The gap on either side should be equal, you should be able to slide a business card freely into the gap.

If they are leaning to one side it is a sure bet that the key has broken on the fixing under the bank of switches.

You will need to dismantle the keyboard and remove the broken key ( and the bit that has probably broken off ) and replace it.

Replacement keys can be found at www.beckettsmusic.co.uk if required. If you need further assistance contact via the links on the site.

One of the keys has lost its touch sensitivty on my Clavinova CVP-92.

There is a dual contact strip under the keys that the hammer (key) hits from the hinge end. When the hammer hits, the time it takes to close both contacts determines the level of pressure and gives a quiet, (light) or loud (hard) and the processor knows how loud to reproduce the note/s.
If a contact is damaged, there will be no control of the volume.
Replace the conract strip and felt pad.

I can't connect a usb device with music on to the clavinova.

You have to format the USB stick using the Yamaha Clavinova. The reason is that the keyboards expects certain file/folder structures on the stick. If you format it on the computer, the computer will not know what files or directories to create for the Clavinova when it formats the stick.

How do I activate speakers on Clavinova CVP 601 piano after having disconnected the head phones

It is likely the contacts on the headphone jack are sticking. If you're lucky, spraying some contact cleaner into the input will loosen it. Be careful not to get the spray onto the rest of the cabinet o the keys. If that doesn't work, you will need to take the unit apart so you cab get to the part to clean it.

Clavinova: no sound from one key only. Rest perform ok.

Likely the key contacts are dirty. These are likely conductive rubber type and have to be cleaned with 99% isoprophyl alcohol.

With the amount of disassembly required to get at the contacts, you best clean them all while you have it apart.

Use 99% (not 70% rubbing alcohol) and Q tips to clean both the circuit board and the rubber "pill" contacts.

I have a clavinova CVP 409. If I try to record using an external memory device (external Hard drive or memory stick, a message appears; DISC ERROR. Can you please help me solve the problem or direct me...

I SUSPECT that the CVP 409 will ONLY talk to the Yamaha USB floppy drive, not a hard drive or memory stick.

The internal drivers for these musical instruments do not have the "smarts" to talk to the wide variety of peripherals that PC's are able to.
