string</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT id=role_document face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>
<DIV>I have a customer with a nice Yamaha M2 console. The hammer return spring
strings are all rotten.</DIV>
<DIV>Do I replace all the strings? My first choice. Or, do I replace the butt
flange assy. (flange, spring, string)?</DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV>Any suggestions? Am I looking at 4 to 6 hours or more? How much does
a job like this run?</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks </DIV>
