Hinged Flanges

[Tom Driscoll]

Subject: Hinged Flanges

Hi,
    A customer wants me to rebuild an 1839 Daniel Thomas square grand.
All of the flanges, both hammer and jack, are hinged with what looks
like
parchment. 
    How can these be rebuilt? What material should be used? How do you
get
the old material out? What is the best way to replace it?
    Any advice would be very appreciated.

	Carl,
	I think this was discussed at length some months ago. Search the
archives under " Vellum ". No personal experience here, just a
recollection of a previous thread.
