Terry and Tom,
<br> I've done this job several times now and I replace
all the flanges. Yes the cords are attached. It doesn't take too long but
you do have to check the pinning (usually pretty consistent) and travel
and space them too. If memory serves they are about $25 plus shipping.

<font size=-1>I need to order a set
for a Yamaha vertical that I service. I called Yamaha and they have them
available. They told me the price. I forget exactly what it was, but is
was super-cheap - like on the order of $10 for a whole set. BUT, it's not
the BUTT, is it? Isn't the cord on the flange? I think my price is for
a set of flanges.</font> Terry Farrell

<font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Fellow 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
