RE: [disklavier] DGT2IIXG thumping noise

2002-08-29 by Rick Conti

Robert, excuse my ignorance but this is my first piano and I've only had it
for about 6 months.  Are you saying that the Disklavier portion is
considered the electronic part of the piano?

In intention, at least, the Disklavier portion of the instrument was
designed so as not to interfere or even be connected to the piano
portion.  While that design intention is true of the action, it's not
quite true for the left and right pedals, though the intrusion is minimal.

Therefore, I would make the assumption that you are experiencing a piano
problem--not a DKV problem.  A good piano technician, Yamaha-trained or
otherwise, should be able to troubleshoot the cause of the thump without
needing to know about the DKV portion.  If the technician that you have
can't decide whether the thump belongs there or not, I'd suggest you
look for another technician--one who is qualified to look at the action
and see what's going on.
