How old is this square? Laura Olsen Barrington, IL On Jul 19, 2011, at 1:58 PM, Andrew Anderson wrote: > I've had the not-so-great pleasure of reviewing the needs of a Mathushek square grand. A -slim- majority of the keys worked. On figuring out to lift the key slip and pull (carefully) the action I determined that many of the jacks need to be "re-sprung". I tested tuning pins at random and encountered string clicking and rather tight pins, so: barring breaking strings it should be tunable. The hammer for the top note is missing, no sign of it anywhere in or around the piano. > > Does anyone have experience working on these actions who can give me an idea of how long it would take to redo about 30% of the jacks? What is needed to fix the spring on these?
