Mark,

Thanks for your answer.  I wonder material was used before they changed it and what they use now.

    All Yamaha verticals use the same hammer flange, and up until the late 1990's (when the factory quietly changed the cord material) all Yamaha hammer flanges used the same cotton cord.  So all Yamaha verticals built before the late 1990's are potential sources of spring cord repair income.
    Why some models were affected more than others has always been a minor mystery to me.

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    I have recently replaced all of the rotten hammer spring cords on Yamaha consoles, both American (1981) and Japanese (1970) made.  Does anyone know when Yamaha fixed this time-bomb problem?  Has anyone seen this problem with any of the Yamaha institutional pianos?
