Hi, I am looking at a piano as I type. It is an English grand called John Brinsmead & Sons--non standard linked action (rocker capstans) Almost looks like an upright turned on it's side. Does anyone have regulation specs for such an instrument? Is there a source of parts? Hammers are cut thru at the treble end. The strings are individually tied btw. The instrument really needs a total rebuild. Torque on tuning pins is about 50 in/lbs (or should I have used fig newtons, naw the owner is a woman so better not! *Grin*) Regards, Don Rose, B.Mus., A.M.U.S., A.MUS., R.M.T., R.P.T.
