No screwdriver, no dropped screws (which would be a dead certainty for me), and no visible damage. One of many just like it. Ron N I know this is a late reply, Ron -- the cycling weather has been really good here. <G> Yeah ... I don't use a screwdriver either. Never have on Yamahas. I think I scratched up the first one that I ever tried. But after that, none that I know of. And it certainly wasn't scratching like the first picture showed (back in April). The first time was a single scratch. It takes 10 seconds to remove and about that to put back in place. Don't know why some talk of hating Yamaha muffler rails. All you need to do is manually push down the rail arm enough to remove the hook. Then remove the bass side from its hole and remove the spring. Then remove the other side. To install, reverse. How hard can that be? In the time it took to write about it, I coulda done it 20+ times without a scratch. Or am I missing something? -- JF -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://ptg.org/pipermail/pianotech.php/attachments/20100507/2cb3de55/attachment.htm>
