Hello List, need your guidance please.

Today's new client has a very interesting old 52" upright Franz 
Besendorfer "Made To Order Style" s.n. #1 piano in good shape but need 
lots of action parts - hammers, hammers butts, wippens, hammer flanges 
and damper lever flanges.

Two questions:

1) How can I research origin and age on this piano?  Pierce Atlas lists 
the name only.  No info.   Piano was inherited from elderly couple- 
nothing else know.

2) Not certain that standard parts will fit this custom piano.  Can you 
advise, and/or would anyone have a line on parts that would fit?

As always, thanks and happy St. Pat's Day,

Aart O'Markenstein
