In a message dated 98-09-14 14:02:00 EDT, you write: << The piano action has a brass hammer butt flange, YUCK! and some hammers are falling out and getting loose. its terrible! This is the first Baldwin upright I have ever seen with this type of hammer mounting all the rest I have seen have flanges! I have a few choices to make and I am in need of advice. repair the brass rail? replace the brass rail? buy some new butts and "convert" the action to a 'flange type"(it is possible I think) it does need new butts and hammers anyway. forget this piano and choose another? >> I have rebuilt one brass action rail converting it to wooden flanges with good success. It is not that difficult but it takes patience and time. Email me privately and I can give you a few ideas. Dave Peake, RPT Portland, OR
