This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Roy, We encountered a similar case on a 9' Brackett piano which uses the = Brown action patented by Chickering. We simply grafted a new piece of wood and = used a scroll saw to accurately duplicate the shank end which attaches by a centre pin to the brass flange. Remember to drill the hole last and use a centre pin that fits on the = snug side, rather than tight, or it will just break again.
