[pianotech] Yamaha Butt Fllange Cord Replacement

"Actually, I had to redo a couple, and the flush trim saw did a real nice
job
of cleaning the CA out of the groooves. Not to worry, though, I think the
braided Dacron will last a few more years than that OEM cotton thread."
 
You're probably right on that account. Good to know that the CA can be
blasted out of there w/a thin bladed saw.<G>

And then:
"Been there, done that. :-) This is only the 2nd or 3rd Yamaha that I've
done in the last 10 years that didn't have the butt plates. I really didn't
want to take the time to make a separate jig. For now I have the nails
covered with Styrofoam blocks, as I think I have another job in the wings.
So maybe I should have made that a permanent jig. Dang!"

Well, here's one that I made up for the Flange Plate type.(enclosed) I'm
sure, if you took your basic concept and added mine, you'd come up with a
nice little jig, for multiple times thang.<G> Hope this'll prompt you.<G>
I'll send several photos, after this initial one, so's not to exceed the
size perameters.
Best,
Joe
