The sort of job where you could do with an apprentice. Show him how to
fix one key and let him get on with the rest.
What we were given 5 fingers on each hand for. One finger to hold the
spring against the frame, so it doesn't fly off, one finger to hold the
key back against the pivot and another finger to push the other loop of
the spring over the spigot, while pulling the spring with a dental hook
in the other hand , and then a satisfying clunk.

Before I got to this, an electrician had removed all the keys without
some sort of sequence marking, so I ended up with a carrir bag of them.
I assumed out there, via google bunging in
roland keyboard keys, CF1,EB2,CF, D, A ,G , C ,23
someone would have put out there the sequence required to lay up a
Roland keyboard moulded with those cryptic alphanumerics, but apparently
not. Any pics I've found is ambiguous as the degree of left and right
throws on the white keys, let alone the unseen pivot slot widths that vary.
C D E F G A B C is not very helpful
***************************************************************
I can't make head nor tail of the above, but putting keys back is not
usually a problem.
Put all the black keys in first.
White keys marked "CF" are both C and F keys, they are identical.
Similarly "EB" keys are both E's and B's.
D keys are "D".
G keys are "G".
A keys are "A".
Top C key is unique.
