Besides, I remember that a number of Yamahas of about 3-4 years ago had developed a bad squeek right after delivery. I looked and looked, and found it (hey why not?) It was behind the damper tray. The hinges connected to the wood in the back,(whatever >that< is called in Ingkelisj -teach me if you know) My euro cents. PS. (warning ! off the record)! The euros are actually not bad for us here in Europe. >From the beginning I compared them with the situation inthe US : A big vast Country (with a lot of tuning nerds (:>)) -same here haha- ) and one cuurency....great! And it works very well. Nobody pays in Guilders or Francs or Marks anymore, what a convenience! I remember driving to greece and changing money first into D-marks, then into Austrian Shillings, then into former Jugo Dinars and finally in Greek Drachmes.......... friendly greetings from Antares, Amsterdam, Holland "where music is, no harm can be" visit my website at : http://www.concertpianoservice.nl/ > From: Clyde Hollinger <cedel@supernet.com> > Reply-To: pianotech@ptg.org > Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2002 10:38:18 -0500 > To: pianotech@ptg.org > Subject: Re: Puzzler: damper squeek > > Dave, > > You don't give us much to go on, and how many ways can a piano have a > squeak?
