Cracked Plates/"Can't be welded"!

[Joseph Garrett]

John,
You state that plates "Can't be welded". This is very false. I personally
have 5 pianos out there where the process was done and they span 25 years,
for the oldest one. There is a specific process that must be done, but it is
doable. I personally would not make any guarantees, whatsoever, and I do
inform each client of this, but the fact is, They Can Be Welded.
Respectfully,
Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon)

P.S.
I have seen several plates that were welded "in the factory" also and are
just fine.
