Murderous Fallboard

[Isaac Sadigursky]

Hi,Alan!    In my second response to the Fallboard problem I will siggest to
look for loose screws holding the spring,stripped screw holes will cause the
spring to move away from the fallboard slot and make it fall
un-controllably.Plug the stripped screwhole with shoe pegs,available from
Schaff. Second possibility:bending the spring forward to in crease tension
and friction.

#3]Make sure cheeck block screws are tight.If cheeck block moves-this will
affect the spring. Good Luck.. Isaac

I have a music teacher customer with a Yamaha grand that has a poorly
counter-balanced (or some problem) fallboard. It has made several credible
attempts to chop hands off young students.

 

It appears to have never had any sort of close-retarding mechanism, let
alone a Soft-Close device.

 

Tried Googling up a solution, 'cause I know it's been on the list, but I got
endless chains of stuff and no answers (and no hits when I added
"site:www.ptg.org" for some reason.)

 

Someone help me out here, please. What's a good fix?
