Re: [disklavier] Pedal problem Disklavier Mark IV (excessive heat)

2009-05-18 by athomik

The pedal should not need any extra cooling. You need to make sure that the pedal is properly set up (get your technician to check) and the solenoids need to be adjusted properly. Once everything is physically OK, you need to run the pedal calibration procedure from the Service Center. I have come across this several times, and every time it was down to the fact that the pedals haven't been re-calibrated after the lyre was re-attached.
