Yes, it is a well known manufacturing defect. In fact the manufacturer =
clearly identified those pianos with that defect. The ones with the =
defect clearly say "Brambach" right on the plate.

  You know every year I tune a 1930's Brambach 5' grand that had the =
plate welded.   Welded at the middle strut...possibly the nose bolt =
area...?   That sounds like a manufacturing defect and so it doesn't =
count...;-] =20

      Julia,

      Why don't we ask the List if anyone has had a plate crack during a =
pitch raise.   I've been working on pianos for 30 years and it has never =
happened to me.  =20

      David,

          30 years experience also and it happened to me on a 1930's =
Brambach 5' grand . Not a large pitch raise---just a few cents as I =
recall.

          A strut broke between the nose bolt and the capo bar. It =
sounded like a rifle shot !
