Steinway upright

[Newton Hunt]

>Get your parts from Brooks, Ltd.  They have all the parts, not just some.
>The cost is very high, but having worked with the parts, they are
>beautifully made and work well.
>
>Keep the damper blocks, they have been drilled for that piano and
>replacement blocks are far more trouble than they are worth, unless you go
>to the berral and block system.  The over dampers can be remade out of coat
>hanger wire, if you must.  I would suggest trichords instead.
>
>Be carefull, the dampers must be set up to match the original because there
>is very little room for variation for adjusting damper timing and spoons.
>
>Mine has about six overdampers and since they are there I will use them with
>new felts all around.
>
>The cost of the parts is very high, but what in Steinways is not?
>
>Have a nice week.
