Disklavier Music Support

[Marcel Carey]

Hi John and Roger.

I have to jump on this one since I had the problem here in Sherbrooke with
most of the U1. If you look carefully at what stops the lip, you will find a
small rubber button... With time, it will compress and that will change the
angle at wich the lip comes to rest. I found that just adding a little piece
of black stained leather on top of the button will restore the original
angle of the lip. Of course, a better solution would be to order the button
from Yamaha, but, on the spot, the leather does a fine job. No complaints
yet.

telling me that someone forced the lip closed with something obstructing its
movement? What a stupid design !!
