<div> Hi David,<br>
<br>
I got some technical info from Kawai awhile back. They have a
little kit with a technical bulletin attached for replacing the damper
flange blocks. I suspect it's the same as on your Boston.
In it is the information you will need to gain access to the necessary
screws, as well as information on replacing the blocks, flanges, and
pedal system adjustments.<br>
<br>
I can copy it for you and send it along, or you can see if you can get a similar bulletin from Boston.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you'd like me to send you a copy. I was unable to
compress the file to a small enough size to make it practical to send
via e-mail, but I might be able to figure out how to fax the thing, or
snail mail it if necessary. <br>
<br>

Subject: Damper tray flange screw<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Does anyone have a special tool or trick to tighten
the flange screw that the damper tray is mounted to? (see photo) The piano is a
Boston GP-156 about 3 years old. The complaint was that the notes were in
continuous sustain mode. I operated the pedal and heard many little clicking
noises. Upon inspection all of the underlever flanges were just about ready to
fall out. Every screw in the piano was loose. It was stored in a garage for
several months while the client was building their home and out here in Las
Vegas it is usually a death sentence in the summer months as it drastically
dries out any moisture content that the wood might have and shrinking away from
the fasteners.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">It looks impossible to get any kind of a tool on
the screw head without removing the entire underlever system..... or maybe I'm
missing something obvious. Any help will be greatly appreciated. </font></div>
