Kawai Damper Rail Problem

[David ilvedson]

The centers will wander out again.  Follow Don Mannino's 
procedure and repin those flanges.  I have numerous Kawai 
grands at our local Ballet with problems with the damper tray 
flanges.  They are made of plastic and I have had to replace a 
few that got chewed up!
