It uses a <strong>Fatar TP/100 LR</strong> keybed, which features 88 weighted keys, hammer action and triple key contacts to ensure maximum fidelity in the action and in the velocity response.</p> <p> <figure> <picture class="mx-auto my-0 rounded-md" > <source srcset="/posts/dexibell-vivo-p7-key-contacts/vivo-p7_hu_a8744732cc762ab.webp 330w,/posts/dexibell-vivo-p7-key-contacts/vivo-p7_hu_479e45d338739126.webp 660w ,/posts/dexibell-vivo-p7-key-contacts/vivo-p7_hu_71328c054a183e80.webp 1024w ,/posts/dexibell-vivo-p7-key-contacts/vivo-p7_hu_8493bfdfa2164297.webp 1320w " sizes="100vw" type="image/webp" /> <img width="1324" height="583" class="mx-auto my-0 rounded-md" alt="Vivo P7" loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="/posts/dexibell-vivo-p7-key-contacts/vivo-p7_hu_a0ccc6320be51d7d.png" srcset="/posts/dexibell-vivo-p7-key-contacts/vivo-p7_hu_22308198ada3a285.png 330w,/posts/dexibell-vivo-p7-key-contacts/vivo-p7_hu_a0ccc6320be51d7d.png 660w ,/posts/dexibell-vivo-p7-key-contacts/vivo-p7_hu_1f7f68da737fc98c.png 1024w ,/posts/dexibell-vivo-p7-key-contacts/vivo-p7_hu_8beb01af1958b93d.png 1320w " sizes="100vw" /> </picture> <figcaption class="text-center">Dexibell VIVO P7</figcaption> </figure> </p> <p>This stage piano is a very robust machine and is very well suited for live applications. Sometimes though, intense live usage and exposure to moisture and heat can cause damage to the keybed rubber contacts and make some of the keys behave incorrectly. The resulting behavior can be missing dynamics, missing NOTE ON or NOTE OFF messages. This phenomenon happens usually on the most used keys. In the case of this particular instrument, the affected key was middle C — what did I just say?</p>
