Re: Fwd: Smoky pianoI have a customer with a 1947 Story and Clark =
console piano with most of the hammer butt springs broken,  It has the =
extra old felt strip under the spring coils, and that is where the =
corrosion originates.  I read about this in an old journal article, =
along with the advice, to try to replace the rail, rather than diggout =
88 spring holes, etc.  Does anyone know if it is still possible to get a =
spring rail duplicated at a reasonable cost?    Any advice?  Piano is is =
pristine shape other than this.  It does have almost all action parts in =
yellowing plastic, but they dont seem to be crumbly like others I have =
seen.  Maybe there were some good plastic batched back then?
