I = was called in to repair some "notes that don't work." Pretty nebulous = problem, no? I got there, and discovered that several of the threads = that hold the tension in the hammer springs had broken. I removed the = offending hammers and a hammer with a good thread to get a sizing model. = I barely tugged on the thread, and it broke right in the middle, where = the spring pulls it taut. =20 I did not have any of this type of thread available, so I found some = fairly hefty sewing thread, braided it as best I could for strength, and = repaired the broken ones with it. I figured that at some point soon, = all of these would have to be replaced. The piano couldn't have been = more than 5-6 years old. I would expect a piano made for institutional = purposes to be far more durable than this. =20 I've seen older P-22s last forever. The new ones seems to be = constructed of lesser quality materials. Any comments? Does Yamaha = sell this thread/cord/string by the spool? =20 Thanks,=20 Dave Stahl=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
