acfine Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 Hello All, I am installing my new reeds and have a question, what is the order of parts for the install? I have attached 3 pics, please help me as to which is the proper way to install these. Please help, I am right in the middle of this project and need to get it finished... Thanks in advance for all help, Anthony From the package: Install Attempt 1: Install Attempt 2: Quote
05.Banshee.SE Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 It should be the cage, then the petals, then the metal part over the reeds. The bow should be like this: ) ^ ( (with the center part being the cage) That's going to keep the petals from over extending and snapping. I found a few differences between some cages I've seen where the metal plate is way different, yet I was told they were all genuine yamaha banshee parts. Quote

Thanks for the quick reply, but does Picture #2 or Picture #3 look right? The carbon fiber pieces do no not go next to the reed cage do they? Thanks, Anthony Edited September 21, 2008 by acfine Quote
acfine Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Posted September 21, 2008 bump I hate to be a bother guys, but I really need to get this thing back running, can someone help me with the order the parts should go on? Does the little white plastic piece with the holes in it go against the cage, then the reeds, then the reed holder(little metal bar)? 05.Banshee.SE, I appreciate the quick reply, but you didn't mention the white plastic part, where does it go? When I put the petals against the cage, and then the white piece, there seems to be a gap between the cage and everything else. I thought there was not supposed to be a gap, so I put the white piece on first, then the petals. Is that correct? Thanks, Anthony Quote
05.Banshee.SE Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 My reeds are nothing like that. But I'd have to say the white piece goes first. It looks like if you put the reeds, then the white piece, the reeds can't flex away from the cage. They act as valves, and have to be able to flex. Quote
