Kranich and Bach upright

[Wayne M. Williams]

Hello everyone:
I have this Kranich and Bach upright made in New York ca. 1910, and I have found it a "Pandoras Box" to fix. It has wiggling hammers and dampers. I leveled all the keys and now the action won't even line up right. PLEASE HELP!!

  Hi John,


  I have looked in the past and I have not found it. I even saw it in  Heckshers' catalogue, ordered it and the one that came was the inferior one that you wrote about.  So I returned it.
  So as far as I know, it is no longer available.
  It is a great tool!

  Subject: Bernard pattern grand hammerhead extractor
  A colleague of mine wants a hammerhead extractor such as one I bought years ago but can't remember where.   The picture below gives an idea of what the tool is like, though the quality of the tool (marked 'Sargent') is far inferior to the fine original Bernard/Sargent tools.  Nevertheless it does the job well.


  Can anyone tell me who now supplies this tool?


  Thanks.


  JD
