> cheap fix? The client has little money & cannot afford to replace the piano > at this time. > Any advice will be greatly appreciated. > Dan Rue, RPT Well Dan, I've run into a few cracked plates over the years. They all have the same response......untunable. The time you spend chasing out of tune notes on a piano with a cracked plate could be spent tuning pianos for people that have a piano that is tunable. As far as a fix.......I'm exploring that frontier. There are some new generation epoxies, brazing/welding rods, cast iron repair alternatives that weren't there a few years ago. It may be awhile before I get to that though. No cheap fixes that I'm aware of at the moment Dan. --- Larry Fisher RPT, Portland Metro's Authority on PianoDisc Systems For more information call (360) 256-2999 in Vancouver, Wa.
