[pianotech] Yamaha G1 - Loose under lever lead

[PAULREVENKOJONES at aol.com]

Al, if you're handy with a soldering iron, solder some bb's on the jaws of  
an old pair of pliers (compound or not). We're not talking huge leverage 
here.  Just enough to expand the lead inside the underlever.

Joseph, how did you shape it? Point, cross  cut?
 
David, Paul, I couldn't find a photo of the Renner. How  is that one shaped?
 
I want to make my own. I'll probably never use it again.  69 yo and pushing 
retirement. Maybe<G>

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
