Hello Pianotech techs -- Today when I called Kimball to restock my supply of amazing piano bench corner braces and bolts, nuts, caps, etc, I found out that they no longer sell them (or any parts at all) and had the patent on their particular design so nobody else is selling them either, according to George. Isaac Sadigursky tipped our chapter off to this hardware find a few years ago, and indeed I have not seen other corner braces as well designed. Tongues that sit deep in the side pieces, 3 screws around each tungue, plus the diagonal bolt into the leg block. So what's a tech to do? What are you all out there using these days and where did you get them? Do tell -- Audrey Karabinus, Seattle
