Dear Alan,=0D
I am going down to work on that K and H piano tomorrow. It will refresh m=
y
mind about how it is built. All I know is that the shop teacher at the
school I teach at and I made the two action parts I could not buy anywher=
e I
know of. The damper wire fits right into the back of the lever, so we had=
 to
hollow it out so that I could reassemble it back onto the piano. I will k=
eep
you inform on more specific as I work on the pinao.=0D

Thanks.=0D

Does the action have an additional rail with flanges attached to the end =
of
each key by a piece of thin red action cloth? If so, the top part of the
action lifts right off that. then you have to slide the "extra" rail forw=
ard
to unlock it from the action supports on either end. If you need to actua=
lly
remove that rail and flanges, or get the keys out, you need to loosen the
small brass screw at the end of each key JUST A LITTLE and slip the
connecting action cloth out from under the little brass flange thingy tha=
t's
holding it. And you have to do that 88 times. Putting it back is just the
opposite. I suppose one could remove all the keys and the rail as one
assembly but putting it all back is nightmarish. It's just a fussy little
extra set of steps to unhook them and rehook them later, but it really do=
esn
t take too long.=0D

I can't visualize what you're saying about the dampers. Please describe m=
ore
or shoot a picture.=0D

Hi:=0D
I am working on a ca. 1930 Kranich and Bach piano and have been for two
years. I have never seen and damper mechanism like is, with the wire
imbedded right in the back of the lever. Very strange. And getting the
action out is like pulling teeth. Any suggestions? =0D
