    Hello everyone,

    I've replaced the spring loops on Yamaha uprights several times over the years. The design with the little brass plate seems to be easier to deal with by removing the hammer rest rail and letting the hammers dangle below while gluing in the new thread. When the flanges are all wooden with no brass plate, what is your favorite procedure? Is it worth replacing them with new flanges and dealing with alignment, etc? Or stick with replacing only the thread?

    Any links to articles on this also appreciated.

    Thanks,
