Del:

I ordered the springs on line yesterday while I was eating lunch in
my office.  26 hours later they showed up at my door.  UPS GROUND.
They are from McMaster-Carr - Atlanta.  1-1/4" OD, 4-inch long, .148"
hard-drawn wire, zinc plated steel.  

I'm going to make some mounting devices over the weekend, and see
what I can accomplish next week.  

Thanks for the information you posted last year.  I'll let you know
how this goes.

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?
