Korean Wurly

[Allan Gilreath, RPT]

Rick,

 

The quick way to tell the manufacturer is to note the model number. A
Wurlitzer grand starting with "G" (as in G411) would be built by Young
Chang. A piano with a "C" (as in C143) model number would be built by
Samick. Either way, once the manufacturer sells the piano to the
distributor, it's their baby. I can't imagine going back to Kawai on a
Boston problem or previously Young Chang, and now the Chinese supplier, on
an Essex. It might be worth giving Thomas Malone at Baldwin/Gibson a call
just to see if they will cover it before moving forward.

 

Obviously this isn't a moisture problem if you've concentrated heat in this
area and it keeps worsening. There is another problem afoot so examining the
pin and the felt under a hand lens may provide some answers as to the cause.

 

I hope this helps,

 

Allan

I don't think it's YC. Also, no black gunk on pins.

 It might be YC, too.  I had a Wurly recently with expanding action
brackets.

I think this might be a Samick warranty, perhaps someone else knows...
