Disklavier

Thanks Jimmy for the info.  The tech is coming over this week to 
take a look.  I hooked my PC up to the piano to drive the mechanism 
so I could isolate the notes that are making the "clicking" noise.  
There is a only a couple which are really loud and a few which are 
less.  However, these 8 notes are significantly louder than the 
other 80!  Also, the loudest one is the F below middle C which is 
played a lot!  SJ

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.

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.
