<DIV><FONT face="Century Schoolbook" size=2>Braided fishing line is amazingly
strong and not prone to being cut easily. 10lb test would be more than adequate
for this application. One thing to keep in mind is this material is
very difficult to cut. You literally need a razor blade to cut this stuff.
Scissors won't do it, nor will cutting pliers or the like.</FONT></DIV>

vis-a-vis using it for spring loops. What size (test) line would one use? (I
don't fish, and I've never replaced these loops, tho' I have a practice action

hammer return spring string</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT 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>
