If anyone is trying to find replacement hammer flanges for Yamaha and Kawai uprights, Pacific Piano (818-700-2100) can now supply them (made by Tokiwa). They also have lots of other action parts, some of which are not yet shown in their catalog. Tom Cole piannaman at aol.com wrote: Does anybody have a technique for replacing hammer return spring cords on pianos--mostly consoles, I would think--that have wood flanges without the screw-in center pin holding plates? Is it a better bet to replace the flanges? I would think so, but I think the time might end up being a wash, and I hate to waste materials...besides, if it's a grey market unit, getting parts might be a problem. Any tips or suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks Dave Stahl Dave, I’m the list resident “replace the cords not the flanges expert” –self appointed I might add--- but on the actions without the butt plates I will be replacing flanges from now on. You are correct about the time issue.
