[pianotech] Verdigris - again

[David Love]

Is that actually true?  I know that rebushing the flanges is a waste since
the contaminants are in the wood of the flange but since the lubricant used
was originally in the felt of the flange bushing doesn't replacing the
flanges take care of the problem?  If not that presumes that the lubricant
continues to migrate out of the birds eye and I wonder if it was ever there
to begin with.  Anyway, I've not tried it but I wonder if anyone has done it
that way.

re my earlier post about how long to replace set of flanges-that is why

I am doing this job. Almost every note is frozen. Never seen such a bad

case.

 

Changing the flanges is a waste of time. The vertigris is in the felt

and the wood surrounding it.
