Hi,Alan! In my second response to the Fallboard problem I will siggest to look for loose screws holding the spring,stripped screw holes will cause the spring to move away from the fallboard slot and make it fall un-controllably.Plug the stripped screwhole with shoe pegs,available from Schaff. Second possibility:bending the spring forward to in crease tension and friction. #3]Make sure cheeck block screws are tight.If cheeck block moves-this will affect the spring. Good Luck..

Barnard Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 7:53 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Murderous Fallboard I have a music teacher customer with a Yamaha grand that has a poorly counter-balanced (or some problem) fallboard. It has made several credible attempts to chop hands off young students. It appears to have never had any sort of close-retarding mechanism, let alone a Soft-Close device. Tried Googling up a solution, 'cause I know it's been on the list, but I got endless chains of stuff and no answers (and no hits when I added "site:www.ptg.org" for some reason.) Someone help me out here, please. What's a good fix? Alan Barnard Salem, MO Good Advice "Don't Believe Everything You Think" -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
