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...
