Yamaha Upright hammer flanges

[Isaac OLEG]

You can have a setup to glue the cord while having the appropriate length.
on a little plank you insert a small dowel (3 mm) with a little piece of
wood a little farther to place (stop) the flange.
Then glue on the 2 sides, insert the cord with a knife, turn around the
dowel, insert the other side and cut (on the flange).
All the job is done in only one operation (length and glue).

Different setups for different flanges. You could use little pieces of cord,
then the setup assures you that the fit will be the same for all.

Works for me.
