Re: [disklavier] MX100A recording problem

2005-01-01 by Victor Lim

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried powering on/off several times.
Does unplugging it make a difference? I haven't tried that yet. I was
hoping I wouldn't need to call professional help. I just had my piano
tuned but the tuner didn't know anything about disklavier mechanics. If
anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know. Are there any San
Francisco DKV techs anyone can recommend?
Victor
