Willem,
I=B9ve heard this comment many times, however I have yet to experience this.
About 1/2 of UW inventory is Yamaha and I don=B9t find the but plate to be a
problem. We do regularly tighten screws and check regulation - Yamaha
service bond. This happens approximately every 2 years. No doubt this does
not happen in many venues.
I grant there is stress on the butt plate. Is there more stress in the
plate than in the plateless flanges? My hunch is that most techs feel the
design is the problem. I have to wonder if service isn=B9t the problem. How
much vertical regulation is offered in =8Cnormal=B9 service?
Hear those flanges clicking? Would you like fries with your clicks??=
?
