[pianotech] Yamaha slow close fall

I had the same thing happen to a Kawai slow fall. There is nothing you can do to fix it. It needs to be replaced. Call Yamaha for a replacement.

Hi late-nighters or early morning types,

A customer with a Yamaha C6 called me to say that the slow close fallboard on her piano isn't closing slowly.  Dang, I had plenty of time to, but forgot to call Yamaha about it and the appointment is tomorrow morning.  :-[

Can anyone tell me if there is an adjustment that can be made (and how to do it), or is something broken?  OK, I'll admit, the only times I glance at the ends of the fallboard is when I'm taking it out or putting it back in--I've never taken a close look.  

Thanks.
