hammer return spring string

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Paul,
Any Spider wire will be stronger than the original.
I use 40 lb. test.

  I just heard about this braided fishing line the other day, vis-a-vis using it for spring loops. What size (test) line would one use? (I don't fish, and I've never replaced these loops, tho' I have a practice action that needs a lot of it.

     Plenty about how to cut it using a dowel in the archives.

      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
