After the ever ebulllient Mr. Bryant had reminded me, this morning, how few of whatever wits I had at one time still remained intact, while laughing at me for having cracked a bird's eye on an 1860's vintage square, because of a strange bit of tuning work I did about an hour and a half's drive from here earlier this week, I was given the following information: Klechka Piano & Organ Co 405 S Texas Ave, Bryan, TX 77803 (979) 823-7434 (979) 778-0906 (fax) (877) 220-2268 (toll-free) info@klechkapiano.com http://www.klechkapianoandorgan.com This is a place that does only squares, I think, the point being, a call, and I think I'll have a replacement hammer butt tomorrow night, as the guy just happens to be coming to Houston, and will bring a couple parts with him............ I know squares are hated by most everyone, but SOMEONE, somewhere in Bryan TX likes them a lot. Just an FYI if folks are caught with one which needs a rebuild, or, perhaps you need parts. Don't know if this guy "knows anything" but he's just back from the Smithsonian researching one he has with no name on it, but which might be one of only two built by an individual back in 1835. les bartlett ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
