You might contact Terry Farrell on this at HYPERLINK
"mailto:mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com"mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com I know he's =
been
down that road, himself. Also, talk to Schaff about not-in-the-catalog
possibilities. At the very least, I'm sure they've been asked many times =
and
would know possible sources, if they exist.

I did some major bridge and action work on one of these puppies, once.
Regulating, etc., is not so bad. The knuckles work okay if they are in =
good
shape. Biggest problem I had was regulating rep springs, they were all =
over
the place and many were just too weak--especially after I put in the =
sledge
hammers (see below).
=20
This much I know from my own experience: If you replace hammers, choose =
some
that are not too heavy! I went with a manufacturer's recommendation and,
combined with dimply buckskins, etc., I ended up with a piano that drove
like an 18-wheeler with 6 flat tires and a worn out transmission. Ha.=20
=20
Fortunately, the owners LIKED the heavy action. Go figure! (Trust me, =
they
don't play a lot of Chopin or Debussy!) So I "got away with it" that =
time
but wouldn't want to tempt fate again.)

Hi all,
=20
Today, I had the pleasure of servicing and repairing a 1918-ish Brambach
baby grand. There were several broken flanges, broken jacks, and rotting
repetition spring loops that I was able to patch together in a =
respectable
manner. Is there a source for the "special" Brambach parts, such as
hammershanks/knuckles, jacks, etc.? The customer is interested in =
keeping
the piano in somewhat good repair, and I would like to have some =
replacement
parts in stock.
=20
Thanks,
