I saw a Kranich and Bach baby grand with a string loop tied to a spring
above the rep lever.  Is this what you are talking about?   I wish I had
my digital camera with me.  I advised my client not to buy it  because I
had no idea how to deal with the strings once they  broke and one was
broken already and I suspected more would break in the first 100 hours
of practice of their 10 and 12 year old.    ---ric

Hello Jon.
 
   Herrburger Brooks built several types of 
actions.  Does yours have a repetition lever?
If so please describe the repetition spring.
What brand of Piano is it in?  
The devil is always in the details.
    
     In the late 20s an early 30s there were 
several grand actions built without  repetition
levers. One made a pitiful attempt with a single
loop spring.  But it never worked.
 
   This action model and others will be displayed 
in the new  Foundation  Museum  for the 2005
Convention in K.C.

Jack Wyatt
