Re: [disklavier] DKC MarkIV : piano key 52 not working - how to adjust/repair :?

2012-10-19 by Jeff Kovitz

I had that problem a couple of times.  Turning it off THEN unplugging it completely for a minute, then plugging it back in (ie a full cold boot) fixed that.

The automatic player doesnt make a sound even though the keys move etc but when that is off the piano plays manually.
