Re: [disklavier] Re: How loud is the player mechanism?

2003-10-07 by Jimmy

To answer all under my small wisdom. I just had a Disklavier technician over. It is the second time that he come over for what you haverefer as the "clicking" or claping" noise that you hear when the key is played by the mechanism. The first time, since my disklavier was new (DCG1) he did a major over all to the keyboard assembly. Kind of lubrication of the wooden attachment, (sorry for my incorrect terms) they he realized that over all the noise was still produce on some notes. He went back inside and interchanged the pistons shaft from the the solenoid to other note.
That did rectified the problems for a few months, then the noise came back on some note, just a few, but still very annoying. So today he came back and changed all together the piston or shaft from the noisy solenoid. Simply job and it appears to be efficency this time hope it will last longer than a few months.
By the way this piano was bought last in november 2002, so naturaly still under warranty.
Hope my small insight will help some of you. Don't tolerate that irrating noise, call your technician and get it fixed. It is worth it. Sound so smooth now.
Enjoy the music.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll do that. I noticed that it is
mostly a couple of keys that make about 10 times the noise. SJ
