If it is one of those, that is an apartment size piano. I seem to remember the air motor is not a repairable unit. The plastic or some compound that makes the slide valves warps, and does not take kindly to sanding to try and get flat. I have had no luck with this type of unit, and would not recommend its purchase, without a good testing by someone in the know. Regards, John M.
