I will work on this. When I dry fit the pieces, the flange has a little side to side play on the wippen. Can you confirm that gluing the flange like that will be fine for it to work?

If you have some flanges that are too big,why not cut-shape them to size with a fret saw and rasp in the shop? You only need two right? Find a way my young Brother--find a way. Tom Driscoll ----- Original Message ----- From: Matthew Todd To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Friday, October 24, 2008 8:07 PM Subject: Jack Flanges I attached the pics of the two broken flanges. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3212/2969737097_6e1364464f.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3138/2969736163_b887ba3980.jpg I ordered some standard jack flanges from Schaff and they came today. They do not appear to be the right size. I put it next to the original flange, and you can see quite a difference. Help please. These "broken keys" are in the center of the keyboard on my clients piano, so I will be stopping by next week and swapping the whippens from B87 and C88, so at least the piano will be playable until I get this issue resolved.
