richard, do you have a sander? put it to good use. i recently did the same job, had the same trouble. just sand down the sides of the flanges a bit. doesn't take much. best, william r. monroe ----- Original Message ----- From: richard.ucci at att.net To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Friday, September 15, 2006 7:51 PM Subject: yamaha butt flange repair Hi Listers, I need some advice on a Yamaha hammer butt flange replacement I just did. Many of the original flanges in the upper treble were so closely fitted I had to pry them loose from the rail. No space between. Also, the hammer butt would not line up as it had been when the set screw on the plate was tightened. It tweaked them off to the side, and they just didn't feel as secure. They are not spaced to the strings properly now, and it is going to be a problem. I used flanges from Pianotec, pins are the same size as originals. The reason for the job was the silk cords being broken. I could use some help... Rick Ucci/Ucci Piano -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
