Disklavier

Thanks Bill

 

I don’t do it often and I use it sparingly.  In view of the comments about the imperviousness of the polyester finish, I believe it is safe to use, particularly after Bill Brandom’s comments.

 

Kind regards

 

Geoff

Geoff,

 

I would not touch it with Windex. Yamaha Australia should know better. They don’t care once the piano is sold.

 

I have a C3 Disclavier and the only way I keep it clean is by using a damp Chamois when it is needed.

All other times I just use a microfiber cloth.

 

My piano came with some Yamaha Polish but it was too hard to use & I only used it once. The damp Chamois does the same job.

I live on the Gold Coast, Australia.

 

Cheers,

 

Bill Schumacher

I was told by Yamaha Australia to use Windex (an ammonia-based window cleaner), but not on the keys as they tend to acquire a blue tinge from the colour of the cleaner.  Whether it would be safe to use a colourless window cleaner on the keys, I do not know.

 

Kind regards

Any recommendations on how clean / polish up an ebony color Disklavier?

 

I’ve searched this forum and have read comments about using Windex for light cleaning or an automotive polishing product for polyester such as Meguiars.

 

I suspect that over the years my Disklavier has accumulated a very light film of grease from cooking, etc.

 

Any thoughts and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks . . . / Robert
