Re: [disklavier] Piano volume too high

2014-01-29 by Bill Brandom

Arthur,

After your piano is up and running, have your technician run a full calibration on the piano. This should bring down the volume of the piano considerably.

E3 pianos can play softer than any other Disklavier system made by Yamaha.

Is there a way to lower the volume of the piano on an E3?  Setting was already lowered to "10" (the lowest) but that volume is still too high to not interfere with normal conversation in my living room, and would like the piano to play as background.

Read that Disklavier systems require that keys be struck at a level higher than other systems.  Is this still true for the E3's or can a technician lower the level that was set at the factory?  Or is there another way to get around this?
