What electronics component is this?
The one the pen is pointing to!
It's on a electric piano circuit board for midi (midi out isn't working).

As others have said, it's an RF choke, used to block parasitic RF. This component can't fail (unless there's a dry solder joint)

what I see is part of a printed circuit board with a metal piece attached, which has two holes in it. The PC board has a transistor on the left, several resistors, several strange black components, and what appears to be a metal piece, perhaps a transformer.
the black components are a bit blurry.... except for the wires soldered to the top, they could be capacitors.
re other answers, yes, I see now that they are ferrite beads. large ones.

I see several, a transistor, a couple 1/4 watt resistors, and what looks to be a pen, pointing to ferrite chokes. a heavy loop of solid wire for current, with ferrite beads to make a low inductance choke.
(power supply circuit perhaps)

That's weird I'm not sure!
- If 3 wires on their bottom they are transistors. Transistors are sometimes 'jumped'.
- If 2 wire, my best guess is they are capacitors, especially since I think I see a "-" sign and capacitors are directional (and resistors are not).
But I gotta say, I've never seen a jumper quite like that!!!
Would capacitors be joined like that?
Looks like ferrite beads to me too.
