Call YC at 866-798-6979 Ext. 136. Ask for Sam or Phil. YC will send them out
for free, but your customer will have to pay for the installation and
regulation.

Since you've done some "regulation" already, you're going to have to undo
that. The last one I did about 4 weeks ago took me a little over 3 hours.  

One bit of advice that helps. Put the end ones on first. When you do one,
before tightening the wippen rail screw, line up the jack with the knuckle
core. Then do the other end, followed by the middle ones. For each one,
check the jack/knuckle alignment. You might still have to do some tweaking
of this alignment, but everything else will more or less fall into place.
I've done 4 of these since I've come to Hawaii, and what I've just described
has worked for me.

Greetings all --
 
I looked in the archives and the last time this subject appears to have come
up was about a year ago. 
 
Subject: Young Chang G-175 baby grand, sn: G 030523, date is 1987.
 
Every time I visit this piano I have to lower the hammer height. My last
visit was about a year ago. At that time I did some hammer reshaping and
regulation. However, when I revisited this piano last week I had to lower
the hammers almost 1/4". 
 
Can someone verify if this piano falls into the expanding bracket window?
And if yes, what is the latest on contacting them for support. 
 
Thanks --
 
-- Geoff
