Re: [disklavier] Appraising DKV

2014-05-24 by Bill Brandom

Hi Sam,

I am surprised too that your technician could not identify why the action on this piano is so much different than the two you have.

Did he say that the touch weight, key dip and aftertouch was the same on all three pianos?

If they are the same, what feels different on this piano?

I own two other U1s, (one DKV and one non-DKV) and I really feel this piano is inferior in action and in sound. I'm surprised, as it is relatively unused, the DKV functions work fine, but playing the piano is nothing like the other two and just not a good experience. Very disappointing, as I wanted to buy this for my studio for teaching purposes.
