In a message dated 98-10-29 16:15:54 EST, you write: << A week later I'm back to shape hammers and regulate. Found that the tuning had not drifted anymore than a drop in hummidity would cause. Found also that there is a gap running almost the length of the plate flange that I can stick a business card single or folded into. Suggestions on repairs would be much appreciated., Wedges, MarineTex, West System epoxy??? >> If you have to make this repair, it is easy to do with maple wedges. Release the tension on the piano, hammers a buch of wedges in the crack, and retune. Its a realtively easy, although time consuming job. Willem Blees RPT St. Louis
