Hi Chuck , I installed a full DC system in a Kawai that had one of those mesh screens that's above the bottom panel--I just removed it--the customer was OK with doing that. What's its purpose? Dunno--let more sound out? Or, someone goofed on the size of the bottom panel--making it too short and the solution was to add the screen. Or, the company wanted technicians to make money tracing down potential buzzing problems, so they added extra metal to the case design. Just kidding...really. :-) Barbara Richmond, RPT near Peoria, Illinois ----- Original Message ----- From: "CHARLES BECKER" <cbeckercpt at verizon.net> To: "PTG" <pianotech at ptg.org> Sent: Saturday, May 22, 2010 1:00:56 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [pianotech] D/C in Yamaha UX 50 WNC What is the purpose of the mesh screen that is attatched to the keybed and runs the width of the keybed along the top of the bottom board? ( Sorry no photo) . I want to know if I can cut a small hole in the screening wide enough to pass the watering tube of a D/C and not cause any unseen problem. My wild guess is that it is ventilation for a disklavier system although there is no evidence that this piano ever had a disklavier system. thanks in advance chuck becker -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
