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. 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. I wonder if this was why this series was = discontinued. Anyone ever run into a similar problem?
