Hi  Alan 
   Just curious as to why it would'nt have been  easier to just replace all 
the flanges since the butts on the older ones just  have the screw on plate 
arrangement?

Hi All,
 
This Monday I will replace all of the hammer return spring slings on an older 
Yamaha U3.  Yamaha graciously provided the cord  material.  Someone advised 
removing all of the dampers and  leaving the hammers on for the operation.  
However, looks to me like it  would be rather tricky to get the glue and the 
right length of cord in the  right place in the hammer flange slots with the 
hammers still on the  rail.  My current plan is to leave the dampers, but remove 
all of the  hammers so they may be handled individually.
 
Anybody out there worked through this to their satisfaction?  Got a  solvent 
that works better than alcohol for loosening up the old glue?   For installing 
the new cords, have you used CA, hide glue,  what-have-you?  
 
Any and all input is welcome, all the more  so if it is before Monday morning.
 
Have a good weekend,
 
Alan Eder,  RPT
