Re: [disklavier] Re: solenoid clipping

2012-02-17 by Mark Fontana

It sounds as if the "hold" force of the note solenoids needs to be 
adjusted (the reduced force, after the initial strike, that keeps a key 
depressed until it is due to be released).

If the problem seems to get worse after the piano has been playing a 
while, that would further support this hypothesis, as solenoids generate 
less force as they heat up, and I'm not sure whether this earlier model 
of Disklavier compensates for that effect.
