You could then have told us the size. Remember that the turnbuckle comprises a left and right-hand thread. <DIV class=yiv1612015892gmail_quote>On 4 March 2013 12:22, Marshall Gisondi <<A href="http://ca.mc1262.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=pianotune05@hotmail.com" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:pianotune05@hotmail.com">pianotune05@hotmail.com</A>> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class=yiv1612015892gmail_quote> <DIV> <DIV dir=ltr>Hi Everyone, I encountered a Yamaha console today, yeah I had to work a fit someone in. Groupon is great but killing me at the same time :-)  Anyway, the two little nuts are missing for the turn buckle/linkage.  I thought I'd head to the hardward store tomorrow before I head back to tune it. I had to check for repairs today.  It also has several bad cord loops and ones that are disconnected.  What size nut will I need or do I need a special one from Yamaha?  Thanks Marshall Marshall Gisondi MARSHALL'S PIANO SERVICE <A rel=nofollow>215-510-9400</A> <A href="http://www.phillytuner.com/" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://www.phillytuner.com</A> </DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> -- Bruce Browning The Piano Tuner </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></td></tr></table>
