Re: [disklavier] Re: DU1E3 does it play like a U1 without the disklavier internals?

2011-08-21 by James Fry

They are different to play, but only slightly. I wouldn't say it was harder though - my MPX1Z (U1 MarkIIXG with silent system) feels slightly lighter to the touch when in silent mode and is more frustrating to play due to sounding delays on high velocity notes.

Regards

James

The solenoids do not interfere with the normal action on my DC3A. I've played both a C3 and DC3A and the action was the same. Not sure why a U1 would be any different as the solenoids hit the back of the keys to lift them. SJ
