Bobby Simons Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Yes, woe is me. Specifically, and starting today: the sustain pedal seems to intermittently not release all the way, leaving any following notes to ring as if I'm half pedaling (not full sustain). Repedaling a couple of times will get them to cut off. Has anyone had similar issues and is this something I can repair/adjust myself? Because I'll be damned if I will haul the whole piano/furniture stand down to my warranty (which ends next month) repair guy. Because it seems like that's what would need to happen. I have a single pedal to hold me over, but I really do use the sostenuto pedal more than I expected. Any advice would be appreciated.

Markyboard Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It sounds like the issue is with the sustain pedal potentiometer. A tech would be able to check the pedal out without needing the piano. While changing the pot out may be possible I would first contact your dealer and/or Yamaha and see if they"ll replace your entire pedal unit. Surprisingly this isn"t very expensive. yamaha LP-1 Pedal Unit (Edit: Dave beat me to it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
