Fw: v-bar/capo repair (& bridges)

[Jeannie Grassi]

I agree with Ed.  I've "saved" a few pianos with them.  And if they don't
help in a pinch...well, nothing much will, short of killing the tone all
together with some other method.  
Here's the website.  http://www.pitchlock.com   I'm not sure if Scott gives
out samples or not.  It wouldn't hurt asking.

Barbara-

Of everything proposed, putting Pitch Lock couplers on the front duplex is
the simplest, fastest, easiest and easiest to reverse.  If they work, they
work, if not, it cost you 5 minutes, and no harm done to the piano.
Pictures were posted in the Journal a year or two ago.

If you don't have any, e-mail me and I'll send you a few.
