LX-9, LX-6, LX-5: Noise when pressing the damper pedal

The following are possible causes of noise when you press the damper pedal of the LX-9, LX-6, and LX-5.

Physical noise caused by loosening of the adjuster bolt

If there is a gap between the adjuster and the floor, the pedal board might be damaged or you may hear some unusual noises when you press the pedals. Rotate the adjuster to lower it until it contacts the floor. If you are using the piano on carpet, lower the adjuster so that it presses strongly against the floor.

Noise generated by damper modeling settings

Damper noise is replicated as an inherent part of the acoustic grand piano tone by the modeling technology of the LX-9, LX-6, and LX-5.
