[CAUT] monkey hanger

[John Ross]

monkey hangerNew rod!
Wouldn't have been easier to find someone to silver solder it. You could even have held it in place for him.
How much did the new rod cost, and how long did it take to come?
Come to think on it, I think I repaired one with a mini torch and solder. That was over 10 years ago, and it is still holding.

  I had this happen once. If remember correctly, I couldn't figure out how to hold the wire in place while trying to resolder. Wound up ordering a new rod.  By the time you figure your time and tools you'd have to buy....

    List,

    I have a Steinway B with a broken wire hanger that is soldered into the sost blade and attaches to the monkey.  I have a pretty good idea on how to repair this...I've brazed copper pipes a bit...very little bit, but I imagine it is similar...?   If someone has done this, a little advice would be appreciated...
