Something is wrong with the mesh itself. There are lots of weird overlapping faces and bad geometry. It seems to stem from the black keys, but I can’t even select them without a crash in my copy. Where did you get this model? EDIT: I managed to fix the model by exporting as an OBJ, reimporting, and then ripping and deleting the odd vertex that the black keys all shared. But the model is still a mess. Lots on bad non-manifolds and unclosed n-gons. It will need a lot more work to make it usable. ---

In some cases cure is to export to some format mesh and import it back into blender. [http://www.pasteall.org/blend/18698](http://www.pasteall.org/blend/18698)
