[CAUT] Disklavier question

[Marcel Carey]

Hi Avery,

I've seen this problem on a few occasions. What I found was the flange
holding the wood blocks you mentionned is a standard hammer/damper
flange. The ones I saw were cracked and I had to replace at least one of
the four. I had to remove the dampers to do the job. Took me a good 3
hours. Contact Yamaha since this might be a warranty covered repair.
