Techs, In the past month I've had 2 Yamaha studios, Late 70,s With
deteriorated spring cords( excuse the nomenclature) >Is this
material something other than silk?> Its light brown in color and
will crumble to the touch.Also your opinions on wheather to
replace the whole set of butts or to replace this material (with
silk) on the existing butts (action centers good on both
pianos)I guess this is a cost vs labor question. Thanks for any
responses < Tom Driscoll></font></blockquote>
<div>I recommend replacing the whole set of butt flanges -- your
labor cost for replacing the silk on the original flanges will
probably be higher than the parts cost plus installation.</div>
