You could dowel the pieces with a center pin and put it together with JB =
weld. Some grinding or shimming to fit necessary.

  You could remove the whole bracket (or one of the intact ones if it is =
absolutely identical) and take it to a foundry--have a new one sand-cast =
and machined. As to who should pay ... I dunno.

  Too bad we don't have piano junkyards like auto junkyards where we =
could find old parts.

  Maybe put the piano description and a photo of the bracket on the web =
here--somebody might just have one, it's happened.

    Hello everyone,

    This morning, I had an old action in my action cradle and was =
working on shaping the hammers when the top half of the action came =
loose from the cradle.  I thought it was odd as I knew I had everything =
snug just a minute ago.=20

    As I move up to replace the top half of the action back into the =
cradle, I immediately see what the problem is.  The top action bracket =
(the one at the extreme treble) has completely cracked off.  Now, when I =
replace the action in the piano, there will be no way to affix the =
bracket to the post (since the bracket is now cracked off).  Although =
this piano is probably 75 years old and in bad shape, it is priceless to =
my customer as it was her grandmother's piano.

    What are my options here?

    Eagerly waiting any and all responses!

    Thanks,
    Corte Swearingen
