Last year I was scratching my head over the same problems in the same kind of Kimball. Customer called a day later to ask if she could cancel the repair work since she'd rather look for a new (used) piano. I was never so happy to "lose" a job. Though it became unnecessary, I had planned to call Schaff and others to see if they had any not-in-the-catalog items. Sometimes they do. There's always the option of referring the client to http://www.pianodesk.com Alan Barnard Salem, MO -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of David Love Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2003 8:53 PM To: Pianotech Subject: Kimball brass flanges I've got a customer with an old Kimball with double brass flanges (hammer flange and damper flange) on one rail. Plates are snapping like twigs and replacement parts are a thread mismatch. Damper flanges have a built in spring in the plate and replacement parts seem unavailable. I would welcome suggestions (or volunteers who want this job), though the memory of Babe Ruth's piano keeps echoing in the deep recesses of my mind.
