There just comes a time when a piano wears out. I would explain to the customer that the piano is structurally damaged, probably beyond repair. They need a new piano. It's dead, Jim! If they would like for you to attempt a resurrection, as this is not a repair, then they can pay you for your time. If the plate cracks during your attempt then they still owe you for your time. Remember, you are a piano technician, not a piano magician!
