Hi all, The piano I was working on the other day was a quite lovely old Gildemeester & Kroeger upright. The hammer butts have their own little return springs, held by threads attached to the flanges. (I understand from one of the catalogs I have that Yamaha uses a similar arrangement.) So -- my question is this. A large number of these little threads have bitten the proverbial dust, snapped right at the center. Is there an easy fix, or am I going to have to cut a bunch of new threads and somehow glue them in place? What kind of thread should I use? What kind of glue? How critical is the length of the thread, or does it just have to provide some tension? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mickey Kessler
