Piano Tuning question

2016-08-01 by charleslau@...

I have a piano technician coming to tune my Disklavier Mark IV. Not sure if he has worked on any of these before.

My question: before tuning does technician need to do anything to player system (like it turn it off) before tuning? Does the player system calibration have to be "reset" after tuning?

Reason asking I had a lot of problems initially setting up player piano system to work properly because it was not calibrated when it was first delivered to me.

Thanks

Charles

Greetings!

Speaking from personal experience only, when I first had my piano tuned there was no concern from my tuner over the calibration of the player system. Rather, he expressed concern with getting the piano tuned too early because it needed to acclimate to its new environment - the piano was moving from Florida to Oklahoma in January. My tuner was the consummate professional and his guidance was rock solid but because I purchased the piano secondhand and never had an "Yamaha Disklavier" authorized tuner I cannot be certain that I was not missing out on something. That said, I cannot imagine that I am.

John,

It sounds like your new technician knows what he is doing. That is good news!

Have him contact me at bill.brandom03@... and I can make sure he does what he needs to do with your piano!

Thanks Bill. I have recently moved to Seoul and am in the process of finding a new tuner assuming the piano arrives in good shape (It is actually being delivered today). Once I find a new tech I will gladly take you up on your offer.

Best regards,

John

Sounds good John. On the front of the control unit will be a DKCxxxx model number. Make sure he lets me know what it is so that I can know which Disklavier system you have.

Bonjour,
Existe-t-il un forum sur Disklavier en français ?
Merci.

Buzzing noise - DU1A

2016-08-29 by KF

Dear all, 

I wondered if someone could help with a niggling problem.

My Disklavier (DU1A) is emitting a vibrating sound from one of the circuit boards under the keys. I’ve notice there are screws with springs holding the boards in place. I’ve tried tightening a couple of screws - but I don’t want to damage anything. Any advice on this greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Kevin
