This is a grand, and I have been following the thread over the weekend with great interest (as you could imagine). As Joe Garrett suggests, there are many anomalies with this design, and the knuckle he describes is exactly as it is in this piano. As you probably already know, the whippens use a spoon going through the jack that I think is the drop adjustment. The jack has a horizontal spring. Any suggestions on adjusting this?

Is this a Grand or an Upright??? Need to know! If it's a grand, there are some anomolies with the Brambach, that I can answer, as I own one, that is a "loner piano", that MUST be up to snuff. Keeping it that way does present challenges, even for me.<G> Keep in mind that Brambach pianos, in general, were inexpensive pianos, made to "fly out the door"!<G> Some of the engineering and materials were truly suspect, IMO. They can be decent, however. Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T. (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares R I -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
