Org=20 Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 3:24 PM Subject: Yamaha repetition lever adjusting screw question Greetings all -- I recently came upon an approximately 30 year old Yamaha G2 in very = bad repair. Among many other things in such sad disrepair on this piano = are the repetition adjusting screws. These appear to be Renner style = whippen's, (see Schaff page 114, item 931RJ), and all the felt pads that = go between the screw head and the top of the repetition lever have = decomposed and many have disappeared entirely. Strangely, the buttons = all seem to be in place. At a cost of almost $700 in parts alone to = replace the entire set of whippen's my guess is that it's going to be = more economical to repair them. However, I can't find that felt punching = in the catalog so I don't quite know what to ask for. So, today's = questions are... : Is that felt punching the same as a thin balance rail felt punching? = If not, what do I use? : Has anyone else done this, and how long did it take? Including = correcting the regulation afterwards. Thanks all -- Geoff Sykes Assoc. Los Angeles chapter. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
