[pianotech] Damper spring cord

[John Ross]

As I said earlier, to make the cord thinner, remove the strands one by one, till you get the proper thickness.

  Well that's what i was trying to do, except i couldn't get the cord more than a couple inches through. Again, it seems the cord is too thick or the hole is too narrow,

    Hi Noah,  I agree with the other comments, about cutting some core strands etc.

    It's an idea to cut a length of up to a foot, prepare the point as discussed, and pull the cord right through to the end, leaving the rest of the length with the point still on, ready for the next flange job (by which time the point will have further hardened).

    Best wishes,

    David Boyce.
