This is the only section that is affected, and this = "hammershank detour" is almost enough to cause the hammer to miss the = left string when the note is played. Each flange is "anchored" in back = by a pin in the flange rail in addition to being held in place by the = flange screw. In other words, side-to-side movement is kept to a bare = minimum. There is no room in the size of the screw hole to allow for = proper alignment. =20 Does anyone out there have an economical means of dealing with this? = Sure I could pull out the anchoring pins, but what would be the best way = to keep the flanges from drifting around? Would laying down a thin = sheet of sandpaper be an option or would the thickness of the sandpaper = alter the action spread? Remove the hammershanks. Pull the pins. Install sandpaper strip. Replace = and space the hammershanks. Del ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
