Del:

The springs you mentioned in your April 2001 note.  McMaster Carr, 4
inch compression springs.  I don't have the part number at hand, but
I will later in the day -- if that matters.

I'm sure I'll have some other questions as I actually get started.

I noticed when you posted that good post, a package of these springs
were $7.50 for 6.  Now they're just $7.84 so I guess inflation hasn't
hit us too hard.

I've been inspired!  I have a client, a university in East Texas that
has a 5 year old "D" that is dead.  Sustain is gone.  I have a "B"
and a "D" here that are 9 years old.  The "B" is not dead yet, but
the vultures are circling.

I read in the archives again last night the post from Del of April
2001 on putting the sounding board springs in.  I've ordered the
springs from McMaster and I've remembered I have some nice "L" shaped
maple that can serve as the mounts for the system.  This maple had a
former life as damper lifter trays.  


What have you ordered for springs?
