[CAUT] P22 Foam Core in Keybed/Player

[Jim Busby]

Thanks Andrew. That makes sense.

We own 27 Disklaviers, and while I like them I can't see spending that much money when 95% of the time they are NOT used for recording - only for playback. That's why we're trying this new alternative.

BTW, maybe I shouldn't "advertize" this here, but the unit I'm installing is the new LX Live Performance.

Best,
Jim

At Piano Disci we were taught to assess the stability of the keybed and reinforce with steel angle iron when necessary.  This would be routed into the keybed and bonded with epoxy with screws to help clamp together.  It is annoying extra step when necessary.

All,

Have any of you installed a player system in a P22? I understand there is a foam core in the keybed to reduce noise. I called Yamaha to verify this and they said some indeed do. If that is the case, then cutting out the back for the tray may be disastrous for keybed stability. When the tray is screwed into solid wood the keybed becomes stable again. Any thoughts, experiences? Would a UST7 be better? (We own 276 P22s and 31 UST7s)

BTW, we want to install a player unit for the practice room for the "theater and dance" students. We own 27 Disklaviers and are looking for cheaper alternatives, since these units DON'T need to record, just playback.

Thanks.
