[pianotech] Yamaha G1 - Loose under lever lead

[Joseph Alkana]

I used to use an old set of under the key easing pliers and inset two set
screws into the 'jaws' of the pliers facing each other for this troublesome
issue. Worked great, as the mechanical advantage of the pliers allowed nice
control over the squeeze I applied.

Renner has a set of pliers, I think, and Don Bee, Jr. here in Chicago
designed a plier for exactly this purpose several years ago.

Hi All,

 

I've got a Yamaha G1 with loose under lever leads. I'd like to make up some
kind of pliers that I can use to expand the under lever lead to stay in
place. Any thoughts would be very helpful.

 

Thanks,

 

Al
