Somehow I get the feeling that YC bought all their metal fabricated materials, including capo bars, action brackets, etc., from an outfit that gave them a "great price", but who obviously no concept what they were doing.

I have the capo inserts removed and here's the photos. I called YC and they do not support this model 1996 Weber anymore. I found some round rod and tested it by hammering a piece of music ire onto it. The wire flattened but the rod didn't budge. I'll have a machine shop plane down the surface and mill a groove o hold the rod at the appropriate height. I'll not worry about the uplex, I'll make it straight. So much for making a quick buck on a spec piano. - Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
