Handsome Old Timer Needs Bridgework

[Brian Lawson]

MessageIf like Bechstein actions of the same period, the stickers will pull
out of the "rocker arm" - unscrewing them is futile

You mean copper-wound bass strings, not brass ?

Brian

 Some unusual things:

Has stickers about 4" long that attach to the wippen AND the key with center
pins through birds' eyes. There are no capstans, per se, but the stickers
attach to short rocker arms at the back of the key. Each rocker (?) has two
adjustment screws .

 If you want to replace steel-wound strings, do the string makers know how to
make equivalents in brass?
