<DIV><BR></DIV>Ron and list,<BR><BR>The nice thing about replacing the cords
is that the hammers do not need to be traveled or shaped, and there is no
worry about cross threading the flange screws or having to return to retighten
the new flanges. Also, since a lot of the Yamahas I work on are of the grey
market variety, there's no need to resort to creative ways of obtaining Yamaha
flanges.<BR><BR>I always work in the shop and it takes about two hours to
complete the job.<BR><BR>Tom Cole<BR><BR>ps: I'm working on getting an
electronic copy of my handout to those who asked.<BR><BR>Ron Nossaman
