James, Is this "slipping out" caused because the jacks aren't set correctly in relation to the knuckle to start with? Or because of glazed, hard knuckles as was mentioned in one of the PianoDisc posts? Combination of both? If glazed, maybe that "fix" would help here. > My main problem with Y-C grands is that the jack slips out from >under the knuckle on harder blows and the note will not fire and must be >re-positioned on many of the notes, also true on the Wurlitzer Y-C's. You do have one of slim shank, Yamaha type of tools don't you? If not, by all means get one. I haven't done many Young Chang's, but that tool has worked great for me on other brands where clearance is a problem. >There is very little clearance to get the tool thru the dowels in front of >the regulating screws. >James Grebe from St. Louis Avery _____________________________________ Avery Todd, RPT Moores School of Music University of Houston 713-743-3226 atodd@uh.edu http://www.uh.edu/music/ _____________________________________
