Sho Bud pull rods

Steven Pearce · From: Port Orchard Washington, USA

Anybody have a picture of pull rods on a Maverick hooked up the right way?
I realize this isnâ€™t a great steel, BUT it was something my Mom â¤ï¸ wanted me to have
so for me itâ€™s worth the work
Thanks!

The pics you posted in your other thread are correct. The angles of the yokes doesn't matter much. The yokes are just meant to compensate for the varying tensions and pull distances of the different strings.

The B-C# raise on string 5 is the same for both A and C pedals. The reason for the short jumper between the A and C pedal on that pull is that there is only one attachment point on the finger.

"C" pedal rods connect to strings 4 & 5
"B" pedal rods connect to strings 3 & 6
"A" pedal rods connect to string 10 and the jumper to "C" at string 5

Knee lever connects to strings 2 and 8. This is a lower, and has a spring strong enough to counteract string tension and hold the fingers firmly against the stop plate.

Tune all the raised notes to pitch first with pedals engaged, then release pedals and tune the open notes with the screws on the end plate. Tune the lowers on the knee lever with the screws on the end plate. Adjust pedal heights to taste. Play.

Here are some generic Mav pics from the forum. A simple google search will turn up a kajillion more.

Maverick fingers through the years were just whatever the pro-level fingers of the day were without the scissor mechanism. The pull rods are attached to what would be the raise helper spring hole, so there is only one pull point per finger unless you modify them or add a loop of some sort, which is fairly simple.

I hope this helps
