Dear Terry, I ran into a 7' Kawai grand at a church last year that had the center pins falling out of the damper tray hinge flanges. I was able to use a very long blade Phillips screwdriver down through the strings to unscrew the damper tray from the arms that go back to the hinge flanges. Then I repinned the three flanges, reattached the arms back to the damper lift tray, and adjusted the pedals. It took one hour, but next time it should only take half an hor or 45 minutes. Check and see is any way to unscrew the damper lift tray so you won't have to regulate the whole set of dampers. Sincerely, David A.
