certainly have and have attributed it to the rail that limits damper
lever travel. A definite "BONG" sound. Big pain in the butt
while tuning that you almost can't hear with the case parts back on. That
part is normally a hammer spring rail but in this case the springs are on
the hammer butts. Hope this helps.<br><br>

I have a client with an M1F from Yamaha. It's only a few years old
but already, Yamaha has discontinued the line. It's a 43 "
upright and it has one of those crazy lids that lift up like a grand
piano.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>Anyway, I noticed that after I strike a key
anywhere in the treble, I get a metalic sound that is not in tune with
the note struck. It was obvious to me that the sound I was hearing
was the iron plate vibrating for a short time after the note was
struck. However, as I mentioned, it was a terrible out-of-tune
noise. It's not extremely obvious but it is loud enough that it
drives the owner crazy. The plate screws are all tight, as is every
other screw I could find.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>I wonder if this was why this series was
discontinued. Anyone ever run into a similar problem?</font><br>
