Speaking of turning on the PianoDisc system with your leg...I tuned a Yamaha baby with one of these last week. I was having a resonance rattle centered around G#4 and it was driving me crazy. I tightened plate screws, pin-block screws, inspected the player system under the piano for loose ratlling parts. I gave up and figured I'd finish the fine tuning on the pitch raise when my significant other would come to pick me up and could play the offending notes while I was searching. BTW the system was rather hot under the soundboard even though the contoler was officially off. (I advised the owner to put a surge supresser on it and turn that off when not in use.) Well, I bumped it with my knee while working on the high treble. It started coming on and would turn back off until it had completed a lengthy self-check. After completing the high treble I started playing the piano and noticed that it wasn't there anymore. It was gone. There's one for my archives. ;-) Andrew ]At 08:43 AM 3/26/2004 -0600, you wrote: >>If I were to install a pianodisk on a piano in my home, I would be very >>tempted to explore connecting the unit output to my home stereo, rather >>than little speakers under the piano.
