<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Everyone. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone ever encountered this =
before? I
have a client with an M1F from Yamaha. It's only a few years old =
but
already, Yamaha has discontinued the line. It's a 43 " upright and =
it has
one of those crazy lids that lift up like a grand piano.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, I noticed that after I strike a =
key
anywhere in the treble, I get a metalic sound that is not in tune with =
the note
struck. It was obvious to me that the sound I was hearing was the =
iron
plate vibrating for a short time after the note was struck. =
However, as I
mentioned, it was a terrible out-of-tune noise. It's not extremely =
obvious
but it is loud enough that it drives the owner crazy. The plate =
screws are
all tight, as is every other screw I could find.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wonder if this was why this series =
was
discontinued. Anyone ever run into a similar problem?</FONT></DIV>
