There is a piano technician in Ogden Utah who does welding as well, and has welded literally hundreds of plates without problem. He has done two for me. Once he came to my shop to do it. It does take a certain technique and he uses a special kind of rod (I think stainless steel) and all the information on how to do it he freely shares. His name is Wilford Young and I believe his e-mail address is wyoung9079 at aol.com His telephone is 801-393-9079.

It has a crack in the plate that goes all the way around the strut next to the lowest A string, about an inch behind (away from the player) the dampers. The strut has not moved either side to side or up and down....yet. Two questions: 1) What are viable repair for this, and; 2) can anyone recommend someone capable of doing them in Southern California?
