Subj: Swedging with wire crimper
Not earth shaking news, but I successfully swedged the slack out of the tube hinges for the lower register E and F# keys, using a wire crimper tool. Now, it would not be the tool of choice if looking for suc

This is another reason why I am a C quality amateur, compared with some of the A quality pro techs who post to this board. I use teflon tape to quiet keywork. It does tend to flow out over time. So

While on the subject of the LH c/f key, does anyone have suggestions on how to take out loose motion on the lower end of this key? It's hard to swedge this key. Unfortunately, they don't make it long enough to be easily

You might try Yamaha key oil. It's a little heavier than most other key oils. Some techs like lightweight motor oil. It may seem contrary to common sense, but the heavier oil you can use, the better. If that fails to stifle

To add to Gordon's fine response: 1) I've found much of the noise at the lower joint (as well as on the upper and lower 'ring' stacks, etc.) to be caused by too much DIAMETRAL clearance between

I very much agree with Gordon. If the fit is only slightly loose, the best way is using some glue applied inside the ring (I would not use hot glue as it polymerizes too fast). When put in place the ring will dis

I wouldn't mind one (or even a set) of those collet-type swedging tools. They're more uniform in applying pressure to the key barrel, but obviously swedging does stretch the barrel and you did fraise back the ends, not

Check there aren't any chips on the tonehole under that pad (or all the toneholes on that joint), as air can leak through them and feeler gauges won't detect these chips, only looking at the tonehole in a strong light

I thought swedging was when they re-tighten the tenon rings that are really loose. That's what it says in my tech book that I read a while ago. It means to "sqiush and wedge" back in place. :) You know, swedge. --CG

The oval needs to very closely fit the radius of the tube being swedged, otherwise it thins the tube and actually makes the ID larger. It needs to have the contact areas smooth and polished, or it scrapes and leaves a bad
