[pianotech] Riding the rails

[Greg Newell]

I’ve soldered in new ones before. It’s not impossible but it didn’t exactly look like I had been doing it all my life either. If it’s for a high end client, send it out. If you’re feeling brave, give it a try. It’s not really as bad as you might think.

>>BTW are you sure you can’t salvage them with some wood rot doctor type stuff.   

 

The brass is split all to hell.  I have had John Dewey do some before, as well as Chris Robinson. However, at over $600 for installing two rails that cost about $70 each, plus the delay in shipping and waiting, I gotta find a better way.  I can handle most of the foreseeable problems, but have never soldered anything that  heavy.  A local tech, Dale Whitehead, had installed these before,so my inclination is to have it done locally. 

thanks, 

Ed
