Yamaha Upright hammer flanges

[Tony Caught]

Hi Dave,

Joe's time is spot on if you are just changing the cords. At times (when I
have run out of new flanges) Tighten flanges first. I remove the dampers and
the hammers (leaving the flanges in place) put the action down on the checks
(blocks under the brackets) lock the action down (clamps) strip the ole cord
out and replace with new cord.
Refit hammers and dampers and hey presto, 4.5 to 5 hrs.

Regards
