good morning ,

i am a 50-year-old novice of the acoustic piano, i played it as a young man, then i have always used digitals.

i continued to play for pleasure, now i have decided to start studying the instrument again.

i purchased a used YAMAHA YUS (serial number approximately 3.5 million) kept in excellent condition from a dealer. (the piano is not reconditioned, it has only been tuned/regulated without any replacements)

i am satisfied with the piano in general, it has the classic Yamaha sound, but i am not fully convinced by the sounds on the low octaves, i have the feeling that some notes sound "muffled".

i have already contacted the dealer who had a technician perform an intervention last Saturday, the situation has improved significantly, but to me it seems that the B2 does not yet sound good.

i tried to attach the video here in the post, i hope i succeeded.

i would appreciate your opinion.

thank you very much

From what I can hear, the string is dead. The tuner should try to loosen it and turn it (twist it) clockwise. It could also be that the damper remains slightly close to the string, brushing against it. In fact, it seems to me that the key dip is a bit shallow. Everything needs to be looked at. Check all of this.

SEQUENCE: first check the key dip (about 10 mm), then if the damper brushes the string (therefore anticipating its detachment by twisting the bridge cap slightly forward), and finally, twist the string.
