Lindner Piano

[Brian Lawson]

Hi Brian,

I've come across (had the misfortune) to tune two of these where some
industrious soul has fitted a new wooden keyboard. Although all it does is
give you less key problems to worry about and you still have to fight with
the mess that passes for an action.

Thanks for your candid reply.  One of the music stores that I do tunings
for, sold this piano (unwittingly or otherwise - don't ask) and wanted me to
service it.  I told them that I wasn't at all keen to even look at it and
that it was a junk brand of piano.  Your note plus others will help let me
off the hook just nicely.  Thanks!

Brian

Do yourself a realllly big favour... refuse the job. You start dinking
around with that plastic action and things will start breaking and spitting
out at you... and then you are in a heap of sh...
This is the type of piano that should have be gathered in by the World
Crappy Products Prevention League, and stopped in the budding.

List I have been asked to service a Lindner piano (yes, I know the
discontinued brand well!) which has uneven key levels and spacings.  The
nylon key clips fit very loosely in the aluminum rail, which in my
experience is unusual for this brand of piano.  I have two questions:
Firstly, is there any way of adjusting the heights of the keys (I suspect
there isn't) and secondly, where can I get replacement nylon key clips?
