Stiff pedals on Clavinova
on: March 03, 2009, 05:58:47 PM
Is there any other people with a Yamaha Clavinova on here? I find the pedals on my one very stiff to press down, and are much harder to use then any acoustic pianos upright or grand. Its annoying as sometimes working on piece with a lot of pedal tires out my leg. Mind you though I will probably develop quite a strong right leg from the effort needed to press the damper ::).

anybody else had the same problem? :P :(

I've played lots of Crapinovas and never noticed that, but it will be east enough to modify - at the very worst, you'll just need to cut the spring down a bit.
