Disklavier

I'm not so sure the problem is in the Disklavier.  All three items you have
mentioned are typical adjustments that often need to be made on an upright
piano that gets played a lot.  Is your house very dry?  Pedals go out of
adjustment all the time; and if your keys are noisy even when the Disklavier
is not turned on, the the problem is in the piano action.  It could be that
the action screws need tightened.  The double strike can happen after the
new felt settles thereby creating a need to have the "touch" adjusted.
Your technician can also call Yamaha at 800-854-1569  while he is in your
home if he is having a problem.

Should the piano still remain unsatisfactory, there are other piano
technicians in New Jersey.  Either call Yamaha at the above telephone number
to recommend someone, or look in the Yellow Pages for a Piano Techncians
Guild member with RPT status.  You can find a list of these folks at
www.ptg.org  Every piano technician I ever met works differently so you may
have to try a few before you find one you like.

Subject: [disklavier] 3 mysterious Disklavier problems


> I bought a new Disklavier MX500 upright with the DKC50R controller two
years ago. I like it a whole lot and it has become a big hobby for me.
However, I have several problems my dealer's local Disklavier technician has
not been able to resolve for me. He's coming this Friday to tune the piano
(and hopefully he will have time to tinker some more with the problems).
Maybe some of you have suggestions for me to give him to try. Here are the
problems:
> 1. Pedal thump
> 2. Solenoid clicks
> 3. Double strike
