Re: [disklavier] DC3 Pro Key Sensor Question

2009-09-24 by Carol Beigel

I could be something fell between the keys.  Are those two keys next to each
other?  It could also be a piano action problem.  Is this a MarkIII model?
I doubt the sensors need to be replaced.  First, look for a foreign object,
then check the action regulation.  Then the key sensors can br adjusted in
maintenance mode, and that may require a technician.
