I think someone mentioned on this thread a bit back that double striking = on a Yamaha vertical might be related to broken hammer butt spring = cords. I have seen the broken butt spring cords many times but have not been = able to tell the piano owner what problem that might cause - because the = notes still seem to "function". I went to tune a 1970 (or so) Yamaha console (for the third time) today = and after I asked how the piano had been doing since the last tuning she = said that several notes would double strike the string when playing = softly. I immediately put on my thinking cap and said (before opening up the = piano) that it is likely one of two things: either the action is way out = of regulation or a number of hammer butt cords have broken - "maam, that = is a common problem on Yamahas." Opened that sucker up and showed her about 30 broken hammer butt cords. = Man alive, she thought I was professor piano!=20 Thanks folks, this thread really didn't excite me too much, but I know = it is something that I haden't dealt with before, so I had been reading = them. Good thing. Thanks, thanks, thanks! BTW, how long does it take someone to replace a set of flanges, or just = the cord. Thanks for the 16th time!
