Pianotech

I am in need of two Yamaha console hammer butts. My understanding is that the console butts are slightly smaller than those for an upright. I can use either butts with plates or without - either one will work fine for me. I've contacted Pianotek, Schaff and Pacific and none of them have the console butts available. Anyone have a couple laying around? Used is just fine with me.

Thanks!

I think a phone call to Yamaha Tech Services might be appropriate!

Oops! I neglected to identify Yamaha as one of the supply sources that I called. They do carry them, but they are 6 - 8 weeks backordered. If all else fails, then I'll go that route.

Terry, I have a couple of butts, except I don't know if there upright or console. Attached are the dimensions. If you can't read the numbers, they are: 1.77", 1.32", .59"
I have, over the years, noticed that the Yamaha service and parts department deteriorating to the point that almost every item I order is a 6 - 8 week back order.  Event basic items you would think a parts department would stock. 
I just realized that the "attachment" button is missing. Does anybody know where it is?

Hi Roger - Are you trying to attach an image? I have found that you can select either the image button on the top line of the form I am writing on or the "Upload file" button right above the "Post" button (lower right). I usually go the Upload file route.  I see your numbers above, but I don't know where you are taking your measurements. Indeed, a picture or at least a drawing would be very helpful!

I thought they fell into only two groups...long catcher stems or short catcher stems. Everything else the same. I could of course be wrong.

Check with Schaff again. What they DON'T have in stock for Tokiwa vertical parts is full sets. I just ordered a single each of the 3800J and 3804J. They're on their way.

I'm ordering the samples on a hunch that one of them will be a workable replacement for the hammer butts on this 48" tall 1879 Stwy Model E vertical, That way I can ditch the hammer return spring rail.

Renner's one butt (based on the Pratt, Read butt) may be too large for you.
