<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm going to make some mounting devices over the weekend, and see what I
can accomplish next week. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for the information you posted last year. I'll let you know
how this goes.</DIV>

<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
