Hi fellow list members, I have a problem with an upright piano. The damper flanges have centre pins holding the springs in place were there should be damper cord. There is no bushing cloth in the flange so the pin is firmly gripped by the flange wood. The centre pins are probably a bit rusty and the pins are almost impossible to get out. The piano is pretty old and the springs now need replacing. These centre pins are seized solid! I got one out using brute force on my de-centering tool but I think there must be a better way? Also does anyone have the homepage URL of a US piano parts supplier? Best Wishes Paul London, England.
