Yamaha Upright hammer flanges

[Tony Caught]

Hi Dave,

WHOOPS. Disregard previous post.
Must be old age or young wife, getting words mixed up.

Joe's time is spot on if you are just changing the cords. At times (when I
have run out of new flanges) Tighten flanges first. I remove the tapes and
the hammers (leaving the flanges in place) put the action down on the
dampers
(blocks under the brackets) lock the action down (clamps) strip the old cord
out and replace with new cord.
Refit hammers and dampers and hey presto, 4.5 to 5 hrs.
