Gentlemen, A customer of mine has a Chickering upright, made in the =
1920's.  The hammers have side to side movement as a result of loose =
centerpins in the bushings of the hammer butt flanges.  The flanges are =
metal.....they are not billings flanges...She would like to preserve the =
value of the piano by maintaining original parts, if at all possible.  =
To install a one size larger center pin through the birdseye of the butt =
would more than likely cause a split, since the piano is so old and the =
parts are somewhat brittle.  Can anyone offer any advice about this =
situation, other than telling her to forget it? =20
