That sounds like me like too much glue with the bushing cloth=
 when manufactured...i.e. glue wicked through the cloth.

Subject: [CAUT] abel action centers seizing


 
Dear List-
 
Last summer I rebuilt the action of a Baldwin SF-10 using Abel=
 Encore shanks and flanges. (I also used Tokiwa wippens with=
 adjustable assist springs and made strike weight and front=
 weight continuities.  Results were very good.)
 
This was the student piano in a teacher's studio,  so it has had=
 about 20 hours a week with student playing, and the teacher used=
 it for practice as well.
 
Last week the teacher complained of "slow repetition" on 3=
 mid-range notes, which were caused by the action centers seizing=
 at the hammer flange.  They give an audible squeak when moved!
 
I understand this was a  problem a few years back with Abel=
 flanges, supposedly not happening any more.
 
Can anyone share knowledge and experience on this....if anybody's=
 home...
 
Thanks!
 
Ed Sutton
