That was actually the problem. When I first saw it I figured the guy =
chewed up the flange bushings with this innovation, but I repinned it =
with an 0.048" pin - so no enlargement there. The long unclipped end =
interferring with the hammer shank wanting to return to the rest postion =
is what caused the inoperable key. I could see that at least half of the =
hammer flange center pins were walking out of their proper postition on =
this piano - presumably I'll have a repinning and general action =
refurbishing job on the piano. This particular piano was the worst =
Yamaha I have ever tuned with respect to stray string noise (my =
experience is that Yamahas are usually a pleasure to tune) - more like =
tuning a Kimball console (false beats and unisons that would just not =
come clean - I hate that).
