I wanted you to see the part that broke on the old Mason Hamlin Screwstringer grand I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. I went back and removed the part, and scanned it with my new scanner so you could see! This is the part that the string attaches to instead of a tuning pin. This particular one used to have a hole on the left side of this picture where the string attaches, but broke while I was installing a bass string. The part itself passes through a hole, one for each string, cast into the plate. A T-handle tool (provided with the piano), similar to a harpsichord size, is held towards the keyboard and turned to increase or decrease the tension. It works pretty well, unless a string or part breaks. Then it is more difficult because of the accuracy in string length needed to stay within the range of the threaded tuning machine. I still need a few of these parts. If you have one, let me know. Tom Armstrong, RTT Salinas, CA ----__JNP_000_1a2b.2287.744b An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
