<META http-equiv=Context-Type content="text/html; charset=us-ascii">Does
anybody have a technique for replacing hammer return spring cords on
pianos--mostly consoles, I would think--that have wood flanges without the
screw-in center pin holding plates? Is it a better bet to replace the
flanges? I would think so, but I think the time might end up being a
wash, and I hate to waste materials...besides, if it's a grey market unit,
getting parts might be a problem.<BR><BR>Any tips or suggestions are more than
welcome.<BR><BR>Thanks<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

I’m the list resident “replace the cords not the flanges expert”
