[CAUT] Weber concert grand

[Greg Granoff]

Hello list,

I am curious as to what experience anyone has had with updating actions for
an early 20th century vintage of Weber grand action with that incredibly
inconvenient sticker and rocker-capstan action.  Seems like a fairly
straightforward job of moving to modern capstans and wippens, but any horror
stories or hints about what to watch for would be appreciated.  Also, for
those that know, what can one reasonably expect from these instruments
(concert grand) given the design of their rim and plate assemblies in the
area of possible power and projection improvement from a rebuild?  Does the
rebuild automatically mean new sb and bridges?

 

Thanks in advance,

Greg Granoff
