spring loops

[Kerry]

If you re-installed the parts correctly, it's possible the action was seated
wrong and someone previously regulated the capstans, etc., to accommodate
the new position (yes, I learned the hard way a long time ago to look
closely whenever I find excessive lost motion. ;-). If that's the case,
you've done the right thing.

List,

Just completed  Yamaha spring loop replacement. Followed Tom D's method.
Went well , and after filing hammers, cleaning slots , cutting cord, and
glueing new cords, it took about 6hrs.

 

When I installed the action back in the piano(p-22) , all of the hammers
were way up off the rail and blocking when played. The solution I took was
to lower capstans and lower let-off button and reset backcheck distance.

 

My question is: What caused the capstans to change their relationship to the
whippens so drasticaly ?

 

Thanks,
