<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am curious as to what experience anyone has had with
updating actions for an early 20<sup>th</sup> century vintage of Weber grand
action with that incredibly inconvenient sticker and rocker-capstan
action. Seems like a fairly straightforward job of moving to modern
capstans and wippens, but any horror stories or hints about what to watch for
would be appreciated. Also, for those that know, what can one reasonably expect
from these instruments (concert grand) given the design of their rim and plate
assemblies in the area of possible power and projection improvement from a
rebuild? Does the rebuild automatically mean new sb and bridges?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
