Mathushek squares

[John Ross]

Hi Ron,
On rereading your message, I see you are contemplating, using elastic
cord. I think this would just be a stop gap, as the elastic will
deteriorate.
If something is worth doing, it is best to do it as close to right, as
you can. After all, you want it to last. Also since word of mouth, is
the best advertisement, you don't want to be associated with make do.
Of course cost, and what the customer can afford, also come into the
equation.

| | I have a Mathushek square piano in my clientele (s/n 1626) which
| puts it
| | between 1865 - 67.  The small size is certainly easier to work on
| and not
| | as back breaking to tune.
| |
| | Does anyone know if and where I can get parts.  I most immediately
| need
| | jack springs.  A tiny coil spring attached to a cord that runs
from
| the
| | front of the jack down underneath, thru the flange and attaching
to
| the
| | key.  I guess I could use elastic cord just to make it work.
