[sdiy] disklavier/midi piano

[Wout Blommers]

Hi,

About the disk-klavier made by Yamaha, I recently send the complete 
service manuals to the museum "Van Speelklok tot Pierement", which is a 
museum dedicated to mechanical musical instruments in Utrecht, The 
Netherlands.

See http://www.museumspeelklok.nl/speelklok/uk/

Try them if you are able to get some copies.

As Richard Moore already pointed out... Be very careful to do anything 
with any bolts or so at the inside of the piano. I once slept a whole 
week beside an upright piano from which I wasn't able to remove the last 
bolt... I wanted to reduce the weight to make the removal easier. When 
the movers came in, they left the room very carefully and I had to 
replace all the bolts again. Afterwards they told me the strength of 
that single bolt was the only reason I survived!
