hammer return spring string

[David Love]

You replace the strings only.  There's some info in the archives on the
procedure but it's basically put the action on a cradle and then remove
every other assembly and let them dangle from the bridle straps.  Cut the
new threads to length.  Pull off the old threads.  Go through glue on one
side. Go back through and glue on the other side.  Engage the springs and
reinstall the assemblies and then do the other half.  Charge for four hours
plus pick up and delivery of the action.  Common repair.  Don't use cotton
thread.

Subject: hammer return spring string

 

I have a customer with a nice Yamaha M2 console. The hammer return spring
strings are all rotten.

Do I replace all the strings? My first choice. Or, do I replace the butt
flange assy. (flange, spring, string)?

Doing that I will probably have to travel the flanges. My guess at time
would be longer to do the strings alone. All the bushings are moving well.
No verdigris.

Any suggestions? Am I looking at 4 to 6 hours or more? How much does a job
like this run?

Thanks 

Steve Kessler
