hammer spring
thread</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Hello =
list, <BR><BR>I
recently encountered a problem on a late model P-2/P-22 (not sure
which....:-) Yamaha upright that is in a church choir practice room. =
I
was called in to repair some "notes that don't work." Pretty =
nebulous
problem, no? I got there, and discovered that several of the =
threads
that hold the tension in the hammer springs had broken. I =
removed the
offending hammers and a hammer with a good thread to get a sizing =
model.
I barely tugged on the thread, and it broke right in the =
middle, where
the spring pulls it taut. <BR><BR>I did not have any of this =
type of
thread available, so I found some fairly hefty sewing thread, =
braided it as
best I could for strength, and repaired the broken ones with it. =
I
figured that at some point soon, all of these would have to be =
replaced.
The piano couldn't have been more than 5-6 years old. I =
would
expect a piano made for institutional purposes to be far more =
durable than
this. <BR><BR>I've seen older P-22s last forever. The =
new ones
seems to be constructed of lesser quality materials. Any =
comments?
Does Yamaha sell this thread/cord/string by the spool?
<BR><BR>Thanks, <BR><BR>Dave Stahl</FONT>
