<font size=3>Hi Don,<br>
The
most likely cause will be the jack spoon button. Many of the Korean
pianos used a woven cloth instead of the more resilient felt,
The cloth gets hard and it makes a horrible noise when the button
connects with the spoon. Another thing to check, is the drop button
leather. Around this time a synthetic was used, and it hardens with
age. On release from check the balancier clatters against the drop
screw.<br><br>
<br>
With the first problem, needling the cloth can reduce the problem. Bin
thar, done dat, it's a BS fix at best. Now I bite the bullet and
change the felt buttons. You will have to reposition the
spoons, due to the fact the felt punchings are thicker than the
cloth.<br><br>
With the drop screw leather, the only fix is replace them with quality
material. Carefully mark the hammer rail position with respect to
the brackets. Remove the hammer rail, and the tops of the wippens
are exposed so you can work on them, <br><br>
Remember to include a major regulation in your estimate.<br><br>

worked on a Young Chang grand today. Purchased new about 6 years
ago. The jacks are making a fairly pronounced click upon
release of the key. A model G157. Each jack seems
to be making about the same amount of noise. When releasing a
6 or 7 note chord, the combined sound of those 6 or 7 jacks is quite
obvious. I believe the problem is the round hard
felt on the jack. <br>
Anyone run into this before? How did you fix the
problem? Is this a warranty problem? I called
Young Chang, but have not received a return call.<br><br>
I happened to have another Young Chang at the end of the day which I was
checking for a church. A 6' 10" I believe. No jack noise
at all on the key release.<br><br>
Thanks.<br><br>
Don<br><br>
