Hi Dave, You wrote: > And is the recapping going to be factory quality (as good as their factory's > workmanship) and solve the problem? Factory quality... that can mean a lot of different things. I can't really speak to Bostons or Kawais in particular since I haven't spent a lot of time in examination of their factory work. In general, factory work (and I'm not referring to any particular factory here) can run anywhere from truly excellent to awful. And by the same token, so can the work of rebuilders run from truly excellent to awful. Will it solve the problem? If it's a matter of loose bridge pins, I would think a quality recapping would solve the problem. Will such a problem recur? With wild humidity swings, it very well might. No matter how good we develop our building / rebuilding skills, there's always a threshold (thinking of environmental conditions) beyond which the thing we built will not survive undamaged. Just some more musings from the peanut gallery. Best wishes, Brian Trout Quarryville, PA btrout@desupernet.net
