Alan, I tuned two GB-1s recently, both Disklaviers. I think they are 4 ft 11 inches. They are very nice little grands. Nothing like the GA-1. No tuning problems that I noticed. Both customers were initially unhappy with how loud they were on autopilot, but a software fix from Yamaha made it easier to adjust the minimum key velocity. Some tight key bushings and damper guide bushings had to be taken care of, but the string scale seems to work. I've only tuned them twice (new piano warranty tunings), so I don't have a good feel for stability yet (and neither has a D/C system).

I've never seen one of these ... Anything special I should be looking for? Does this piano have low tenor/low tension problems like the GA-1? (And if so, do I tell the customer so they won't blame me when it sounds like crap in three months?) Alan Barnard Salem, Missouri" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
