Yamaha G3

[Paul T Williams]

Dean,

I think the G3 is similar to the C2. Interesting point about the super 
glue.  May have to try it sometime...

RE: Yamaha G3






I’m not familiar with this particular model, but I have done screws in 
similar situations. You can get screwdrivers that hold the screw on the 
end while you stick it into inaccessible places. In a pinch you can also 
super glue the screw to the end of your screwdriver. Once you start 
putting torque on it it will break loose.

Dear List
 
I have a problem with a Yamaha G3 grand. The flange screw for the center 
damper lifter tray flange has come loose and is out of its hole. (This is 
the screw that holds the flange to the damper flange rail, not the screw 
that attaches it to the damper lifter tray.) When it works its way around 
it gets between the damper tray and the damper flange rail and holds the 
tray up just enough for the bass most dampers to not stop the strings 
correctly. I remember seeing descriptions on this list for a tool to 
tighten the end flange screws, but I’m not sure if this can get to the 
center flange screw. The screw is not just loose where it can be just 
tightened; I am going to have to get it restarted into the aluminum flange 
rail.
 
Even if the entire back action was disassembled, I don’t see anyway that 
this screw could ever have been installed to begin with unless it was put 
in before the keybed was installed. Any and all help will be much 
appreciated.
 
Thanks
