style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; 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>
