Hi Brad,<br>
I had to rebush a small section of those horizontal
flanges. Drill two small holes in diagonal corners
before popping off flanges. Used two small round tooth picks to
relocate the flange. I used hide glue, have to think of the
next guy. ;-)<br>

Any do's and don't regarding the reinforcement of damper back action<br>
flanges? <br><br>
I just don't want to have ANY flanges come loose after new damper felt
and<br>
regulation work is done. <br>
Piano in question is a Steinway M getting all new action parts (except
back<br>
action), damper felt, block and restring. <br><br>
I have used CA glue to 'shore up' the glued flanges in the past.
<br>
Has anyone tried drilling through the glued flanges; then dowel and
glue<br>
them in place? Is that overkill? <br><br>
As always, THANKS for your collective wisdom!<br><br>
Best regards,<br>
