[pianotech] Tight plastic flanges

[David Boyce]

Thanks for the responses, Joe, Richard, Wim.  Pretty much confirms my 
first impressions. Richard, interesting about the glue. You can see 
traces of it on the flanges; in fact it's visible on the pic I sent.  
It's interesting that the hammer flanges had evidently been carefully 
travelled, because the uncut ends of the travel paper were visible on 
quite a few flanges.  Wim, thanks for the suggestion about the new 
flanges. I can see that it would probably be cheaper to fit all new 
flanges, even if they have to be reamed, than to mess about reaming the 
bushings in all the old plastic flanges.  It might be the case that in 
the end the customer would decide just to buy a new piano, though!  But 
we shall see how things work out with the Protek CLP, by the time of the 
next tuning.

Best regards,

David.
