'The whippen flange' of the upright piano is loose. How can I fix it myself?
on: December 04, 2023, 07:41:27 AM

In this video, we can see the loose screw on 'the whippen flange' or where it was loose.

Here is how to fix it yourself:

1 Remove the action from the upright piano.

2 On the reverse side of the action, locate 'the loose whippen flange'. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screw securely. Ensure that the flange is positioned correctly, not pushed to the side, similar to the other flanges (see how fix it with 00:29 this video).

3 Verify the functionality of the whippen by pressing it from below with your finger, as if it were being pressed up using the capstan of the key.
