Re: [disklavier] New Keyboard needed

2003-08-29 by Buddhika Wije

Hi to all,

This is an unusual problem with trying to locate some hardware parts for my Disklavier project.

I have moved to Australia from Sri Lanka and brought my disklavier project with me along with the rest of the household goods and now in Melbourne. For those who remember , my name is Budds and I bought a disklavier DGH1BII Mark 2 with a damage keyboard. I have had no success in getting the re-cut keys to work and play the way it should. I tried calling the local Yamaha importer and they�are really not interested�in helping me out and coated a exorbitant price for the parts. I wonder whether anyone could help me with locating a key rack and the 88 keys? Is it possible that some where�there may be a�DGH1B or even a GH1�(of which the keys I believe will fit the DGH1B), keyboard and key rack available. I don't mind one�in any condition�as long as all the parts are original and�is working.�

I have put in a lot of effort to get this disklavier up an running�and come so far with�the project. It only needs a the keyboard�to resurrect it.

Also�I need some advice on the�disklavier part, as it�works and plays back except the record function.�I am unable to play another midi instrument from the piano keyboard but it works the other way about with the usual .5sec delay in� piano keys.�I know that the midi out works as I tried the piano soft and it�works�when an expander is connected. The peddles also do not work but I don't know whether the midi files I use have the peddle function. So I have kept it to check later. When I switch the power on I get a message "Sensor not connected".

Thanking you for any information on these especially information on the keyboard.
Best regards

Budds
