OK, that makes sense. I completely removed a flange screw, and still = couldn't get the hammer off the rail. I saw center pins between every = butt, and assumed it was continguous (don't they do that in Europe?). = Since I couldn't get the flange off, I couldn't see any way to get = traveling paper in there. It was a Kohler and Campbell "Professional", S/N 628617, which was = 1969 according to Pierce. I'll have to check about the Samick part. = Does seem old, now that you mention it. --Cy-- ----- Original Message -----=20 From: tom driscoll=20 To: Pianotech=20 Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 7:41 PM Subject: Re: How to travel upright hammers with a continuous flange = pin? ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Cy Shuster=20 To: Pianotech=20 Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 7:10 PM Subject: How to travel upright hammers with a continuous flange = pin? Tuned a 1969 Kohler & Campber (Samick) studio today. Hammers = going all over the place, left and right. Tried to adjust one, and = discovered each section is pinned with one giant flange pin. How the = heck do you travel these hammers? Is heating and twisting the shanks = the only option? --Cy Shuster-- Bluefield, WV =20 Cy, It's not one giant pin. The butt plates have been allowed to = get loose and the centerpins migrate until--Voila---They are all = connected! With the action on the bench, remove the whole mess ,separate = the butts, push the pins back in place and tighten the plates=20 -Ream and repin as necessary--and it will be necessary on = many. Are you sure 1969 ? Seems a bit old for a Samick. Tom Driscoll RPT ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
