Disklavier

Got the test mode and it is set up as GP.

Found this in the service manual and it clearly says this test must be done when key sensor is changed.

Look at the second line of the display.  The first line will tell you what version of the software is installed and the second line near the far right should be a GP.  If if says U, then press then use the Yes or No buttons to set the piano type.

Sounds like the Disklavier computer needs adjusted to the piano. Unless you know what you are doing in running Maintenance Mode, you need the services of a Disklavier technician.
