Need Bechstein cheekblocks...

[Larry Trischetta]

Michael,
It seems like Terry's suggestion is the way it will probably have to be...
fabricate them. I have NO band saw and am just a mere mortal also! Maybe I
ll need to employ a local woodworker or if possible, send Terry the
dimensions and he can whip them up.... Or not. It's up to Terry! But if the
blocks are made per piano, then there is no other choice.
Thanks,
Larry Trischetta

Larry,
 
The keyblocks of this piano are most likely custom fit, so if you were
fortunate enough to find an "extra" set, they probably won't fit. When the
piano is built, the keyblocks are actually one large piece, or on big key
block if you will, which is cut into two and then fit into the specific
piano. Nice tree btw.

List... One of my clients has a 7'3" Bechstein  (# on plate indicates a 1924
 but stamped # on bottom beam indicates 1899 (production # maybe)). The
cheekblocks were missing when he got it and I was hoping someone had some
laying around that need a new home. Thanks in advance. (and thanks for the
wealth of knowledge all these years).
