Mike Is it all three strings on the F# and G, or just one string? If it's just one string, is it the same string on both notes? (you know, the?left sringt on F# and the right string on G)?? If it is, try the becket. Perhaps on one of them it isn't in the pin hole far enough,?and it keep creeping out. Which means sooner or later, it will pop out all together. Just a thought.

Yamaha MX100 w/Disklavier (U1) 6 years old, in a H.S. vocal music room, never moved from there.? Climate controlled year around. At the tenor/treble break the F#5 and G5 go out of tune overnight!? We've had trouble with this piano since new being unstable, but its getting much worse now.? Lovely instrument, sounds great when tuned, but almost immediately goes flat?around this brace.? Measured all the notes today after having pitch raised and tuned 9 days ago.? SAT says all notes within 2-3 cents except those mentioned and a few others here and there up to 15 cents flat.? Measured these again after finishing up today, and they're 5 cents flat within 45 min.? ??? Strings look good, bridge, pins and hitch look fine, pins are tight and smooth, no plate separation from back, running out of ideas.? ??? We called the dealer who will in turn bring Yamaha in now.? Any thoughts? ??? Mike Kurta ??? Syracuse chapter? ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
