If you re-installed the parts correctly, it's possible the action was seated wrong and someone previously regulated the capstans, etc., to accommodate the new position (yes, I learned the hard way a long time ago to look closely whenever I find excessive lost motion. ;-). If that's the case, you've done the right thing. Kerry Kean Kent, Ohio _____ From: richard.ucci at att.net [mailto:richard.ucci at att.net] Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2008 11:08 AM To: pianotech Subject: spring loops List, Just completed Yamaha spring loop replacement. Followed Tom D's method. Went well , and after filing hammers, cleaning slots , cutting cord, and glueing new cords, it took about 6hrs. When I installed the action back in the piano(p-22) , all of the hammers were way up off the rail and blocking when played. The solution I took was to lower capstans and lower let-off button and reset backcheck distance. My question is: What caused the capstans to change their relationship to the whippens so drasticaly ?
