Conrad here's the letter. The subject line was "WNG Complimentary Parts" I got a couple of emails from them I trashed the first one not knowing what it was because of the subject line and finally opened one up. I'm sure a few of you trashed it too because of the subject line. -- Tony Graves RPT Piano Technician School of Music Ball State University Muncie, IN 47306 (765) 285-0053 Wessell, Nickel & Gross 4111 North Freeway Blvd. Sacramento, CA 95834 Tel: 916-567-9999 Tel: 800-566-3472 Fax: 916-567-1941 Complimentary Composite Hammer Shanks and Flanges Wessell, Nickel & Gross (WNG) invites technicians for institutional piano programs to sample and evaluate our new high performance composite shanks and flanges. The WNG composite hammer shank combines a composite shank butt and a carbon tube shank. The shank butt is made from the standard WNG black composite. The carbon tube shank is made, via pultrusion, of fiber and epoxy. The result is an extraordinarily stiff shank that does not suffer from the tendency to bend and whip like wooden shanks. WNG is currently offering, for both sale and evaluation, composite shanks and flanges for the following pianos: Mason & Hamlin WNG legacy actions Steinway Baldwin Yamaha If you are interested in purchasing or evaluating WNG parts, please let us know (contact information below). We can then discuss the conditions of our WNG evaluation program, which will include your helpful feedback and testimonial. If these parts can be installed and evaluations completed within four months please let us hear from you. Additional information of WNG action parts and accessories can be found at www.wessellnickelgross.com in Fall/Winter 2008. To order the complimentary shanks and flanges please email Nina Butler at Nina at pianodisc.com or call 916-719-1323.
